Cannabis is known to ease certain types of pain, including discomfort from nerve damage and inflammation. In today’s time, chronic pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. It is the leading cause of disability and a major contributor to health care costs. With cannabis becoming more recognizable as medicine, many states are now legalizing the plant for patients to use as a treatment option.

I found it interesting that you state that cannabis is becoming more popular as a pain reliever than opioids. My brother was recently in an accident and wants to find a way to reduce his pain without heavy drugs. I will send him this information so he can look for a recreational dispensary near him.
We are terribly sorry to hear about your brother’s accident, Benjamin. We appreciate you sharing this article with him! We do hope he was able to find relief naturally. Take care!
Thanks for pointing out that cannabis is known to ease certain types of pain, including discomfort from nerve damage and inflammation. My sister is thinking about getting a medical marijuana card because she has really bad arthritis, especially in the cooler months. I think that since it helps reduce pain and inflammation it would really help her feel better and be able to live her life more.
Thank you for sharing, Steele! We hope your sister is able to find relief. Arthritis is known for causing severe joint pain, along with a number of uncomfortable symptoms. Medical marijuana has been a powerful treatment plan for many who suffer from this disease. We highly encourage applying for a medical marijuana card if she resides in a state where medicinal cannabis is legal.
It’s interesting that marijuana can help with chronic pain! I’ve been suffering with chronic arm pains for a large amount of my life, so it would be nice to be able to see if I can finally get some relief. I’ll have to try it out.
You will have to keep us posted, Braden! We encourage those who live in a state with legal medical marijuana to seek treatment for relief. We hope you are able to do so.
