Chronic pain often presents as a result of a condition or injury(ies) and can significantly decrease quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic pain symptoms include joint pain, muscle aches, burning pain, fatigue, sleep problems, loss of stamina and flexibility as well as mood issues including<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/conditions\/depression\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depression<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/conditions\/anxiety\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anxiety<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and irritability. It can significantly impact a person\u2019s ability to work and take care of duties at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannabis has been used to alleviate pain for many, many years now and that\u2019s due to the fact that it&#8217;s more effective and less risky than many pharmaceutical medications. The unfortunate reality is that individuals suffering from chronic pain usually rely on pharmaceuticals in order to maintain even partial functional and quality living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s worse is that pain management pharmaceuticals are at high risk of leading to many adverse effects on organ function and dependence. Fortunately, cannabis offers better benefits at less cost to the wallet and health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannabis is able to alleviate chronic pain because of the plant&#8217;s cannabinoids\u2019 unique ability to bind with the receptors of our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/cannabinoids-and-the-endocannabinoid-system-a-match-made-in-heaven\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">endocannabinoid system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> located throughout the body.\u00a0 The central and peripheral nerves which locate pain in the body contain an abundance of receptors for endocannabinoids and some cannabis plant cannabinoids (such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/uncovering-thc-the-cannabis-plants-most-famous-cannabinoid\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">THC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-intoxicating cannabinoids like CBD and<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/what-you-should-know-about-cbg-and-its-health-benefits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBG<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also help block pain by boosting endocannabinoids and targeting non-ECS receptors like serotonin and dopamine receptors.

Purchasing cannabis flower will be optimal because it allows you to benefit from the terpenes and all the cannabinoids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you consume the buds, you are<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/cbd\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">getting the full-spectrum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which boosts the benefits due to what is known as<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/what-does-new-cannabis-research-tell-us-about-the-entourage-effect\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the entourage effect.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you purchase cannabis distillates, isolates, broad-spectrum, or certain <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/concentrates\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">concentrates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you lose out on certain cannabinoids and terpenes due to the extraction process involved in making the products. However they may still be helpful and beneficial to some degree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your chosen cannabis for consumption will need to contain at least tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) in order to receive optimum pain relief. The THC is intoxicating but is vital for pain management alongside CBD. If you do not want to be intoxicated by the THC, you can find strains that are low in THC and higher in CBD but the strain should still contain both. Full-spectrum hemp extracts and tinctures have less than 0.3% THC and are best here if you are sensitive to THC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD and THC can assist each other to combat pain, stimulate appetite, and reduce inflammation. CBD and THC can assist with improving sleep, reducing nausea, boosting mood, and alleviating stress and anxiety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Terpene Profile<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terpenes and cannabinoids share the fact that they&#8217;re organic compounds and are beneficial, however, the terpenes are aromatic.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terpenes are most well-known for contributing to the scent of the cannabis plant<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but they also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/terpenes\/\">contribute their own benefits<\/a>. Most cannabis concentrates and some tinctures (unless full-spectrum) may not contain terpenes because of the way they are processed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when considering cannabis for your chronic pain, it is important to consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/terpenes\/pain-inflammation-relief\/\">terpenes<\/a> in the plant.
