Pain
Patients may be prescribed powerful painkillers but still find that they are ineffective in treating their pain. These drugs can be incredibly strong and can have far-reaching side effects. This can lead to patients exploring other avenues of pain relief, such as medical cannabis. Cannabis can help ease pain felt from migraines and headaches, joint and back pain, the pain felt from injuries, and pain felt during surgery recovery, as well as many more afflictions. Medical cannabis is often considered as effective for pain relief as strong opioid painkillers such as Codeine.

Discover how medical cannabis can provide effective pain relief
Patients may be prescribed painkillers but find that they are ineffective in treating their pain. These drugs can be incredibly strong painkillers, with far-reaching side effects. Sometimes, even these cannot help patients to manage pain, leading them to explore other avenues. For example, medical cannabis can be used to modulate pain through the use of phytocannabinoids, which are a class of lipophilic molecules that interact with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS). The endocannabinoid system is a network which interacts with the body's central nervous and peripheral nervous system. In short, this means that phytocannabinoids hold incredible pharmacological potential.
Symptoms of chronic pain include:
- Fatigue
- Joint pain
- Sleeping problems
- Constant pain
- Lack of relief from over-the-counter painkillers
- Burning sensations
