The back is one of the most important parts of our human anatomy and unfortunately also one of the most neglected. Experts estimate that up to 80% of the human population will face back pain at some point in their life, never mind the individual's age. It can affect elders, adults all the way down to adolescents. If you or someone you know suffer from chronic back pain, I'm sure you can understand how that pain can hugely interrupt your daily life. Think about it, the muscles in your back give power to your limbs which give power to your joints and muscles. If you have an issue with your back, it can affect your mobility as well as your strength. The two fundamental parts of getting around. Chronic back pain is not something to be taken lightly.

Lucky for us, we don't have to just rely on opioids for pain relief. Cannabis is known to help reduce back pain and muscle spasms by 45%, sometimes as soon as in 20 minutes. There a three common categories of the cannabis plant, there are the indicas, the sativas or the hybrids. Indicas however are a most common choice for those wanting pain relief. That's because of indica's sedative properties. Those sedating effects are what help calm the muscle spasms, therefore helping to bring relief to the pain.
