CBD for Chronic Back Pain

Perhaps you do not want the “high” feeling that THC provides. Now is the time for you to try CBD for chronic pain. CBD may reduce pain and inflammation and that overall feeling of discomfort.

CBD stops the body from absorbing another compound in the endocannabinoid system. This compound is associated with regulating pain in the body. So, increased levels of this compound Anandamidemay reduce the amount of pain that you feel.

Finding the correct dose of CBD oil is a process. Everyone's endocannabinoid system is different. No two person have the same reaction to medical marijuana.

Methods to Administer Your Medical Marijuana

The method that you choose to administer your medical marijuana is important. It will have a direct effect on the outcome.

Smoking is the fastest method of getting THC into the body. THC enters through the lungs then goes directly into the bloodstream. Too bad, it is also the most damaging. Vaping although similar to smoking does not involve burning, it involves heating the herb. This is healthier for the lungs and throat.

Edibles are another way to control back pain. You must keep in mind that edibles although healthier than some other means of cannabis use, take longer to kick in. They also will last longer. I can not stress enough to start slow with edibles and increase as needed responsibly — you do not want to be dealing with chronic back pain and the feelings of overindulging.

So, are you ready for your afternoon tea? Let's indulge. The THC and CBD in the afternoon cookie will be delicious and great for the back pain. Enjoy!
