Cannabis is very versatile, in that there isn’t just one kind of weed, nor is there one kind of pain. 

You have three types, which are: 

• Neuropathic pain due to injury of a specific nerve, and usually anti inflammatory meds won’t be effective 
• Central pain which is a mystery pain not associated with physical injury, with fibromyalgia being one of the best examples 
• Nociceptive pain: pain that’s something simple to understand, and also is treated with anti-inflammatory medications 

The thing with pain is that opioids and other such additions might not work in every single case, which is why some may turn to weed as a solution. While not perfect for everyone, it can help with a variety of concerns. 

We’ll go over the best strains to help with pain here. 

Nociceptive Pain 

For those who have nociceptive pain, anti-inflammatory strains are good with this. THC and CBD are both great for this, and usually, a good portion of both is important. 

Cannabinoids aren’t the only thing that are fighting pain though. Terpenes are also good since they do have natural analgesic (fights pain) and helps with the anti-inflammatory receptors within the body. it’s also got flavonoids too. 

ACDC is one of the best for this, since it is very heavy in CBD, and this is great for treating pain. 

White widow is another one, since it doe shave a lot of CBD despite there being a lot of THC. This is great as well since you can have it both at night, and during the day. 

Neuropathic Pain 

THC is really good for this one, since it does help to stimulate the CB1 receptors and offer euphoria and relief. 

While there isn’t a bunch of documentation, CBD as well has been effective against some kinds of neuropathic pain. 

CBD sour cyclone is one of the best ones, since it does have 2:1 CBD to THC in terms of ratio, and you won’t feel as many psychoactive effects, and it’s got a sweet along with sour flavor too. 

Then there is shurman, which is good for both daytime and nighttime pain, great for reducing anxiety, while also helping with focus and motivation. 

Central Pain 

Because central pain is still new, there are still many questions about this. For a bit, a lot of doctors did not think that fibromyalgia was even real.  

It’s hard to find good treatment, but according to a study done of 26 patients, it was found that cannabis helped with reducing medications, and other people were able to replace medications with cannabis too. 

Two of the best strains include CBD critical mass, which is amazing for inflammatory and muscle pain, stresses and spasms. It’s medicinal, woody, earthy, and sweet, while also being happy, delicious and uplifting. 

There is also harlequin, which is a high CBD strain, and this is great for PMS, chronic pain, anxiety, and cramps as well, among other things. This is a good one for also bringing a more clear-headed and better focus as well, while also uplifting the body and spirit. 

The thing with pain is that there are so many strains that can help, and these are but many of the ones that are out there. You can as well talk to your doctor in order to see what they can offer you, and also to talk to the budtender at the dispensary to help you not only find the strain that’s perfect for you, but also to help you make sur that you take the correct dosage in almost every single situation too.
