Best Cannabis Strains for Dealing with Pain

Medical marijuana is quickly becoming more and more popular all across the United States of America. There are currently 36 out of the 50 states that have legalized the use of medical marijuana, and 14 of those that have legalized the use of cannabis for all adults over the age of 21, even without a medical card! This is great news for people that may be dealing with chronic pain. Sure, we have all experienced pain in our lives from time to time. Maybe we twisted our back while unloading the van yesterday and are taking it easy, or perhaps you’ve experienced a sprained ankle in your younger years that kept you off your feet for a couple days.

Chronic pain is something completely different, and it is often hard to actually imagine what dealing with this sort of pain is like unless you or someone close to you has experienced it for themselves. People with chronic pain often are diagnosed with some sort of disease or condition that makes it very hard for them to function from day to day, and are often kept awake at night by their pain that only seems to worsen during that time. One of the biggest problems facing these patients is that their treatment options are very limited.

When it comes to painkillers and prescription medications, it seems that there are not healthy alternatives to using things like opioids, which are actually very harmful themselves. That is why many people with chronic pain conditions end up with crippling opioid and alcohol addictions. They simply need more and more to be able to control their pain and can no longer function without it. Hopefully, people with chronic pain can use medical marijuana as a natural and more risk free alternative to manage their symptoms.

Today we are going to talk about some of the best marijuana strains for dealing with chronic pain. Not only does cannabis provide a nice relaxing high for your body and mind, but marijuana also reduces levels of inflammation and irritation on a cellular level, making it much easier to escape from chronic pain symptoms during the day and at night. To start off the list, we are going to be talking about the all-time classic - Sour Diesel. Sour Diesel is one of the more popular and well-liked marijuana strains that is out on the market right now. This strain is great for smoking or consuming during the day due to the fact that it is a Sativa cannabis strain.

Not only will you find some pain relief, but you will also feel more energized and uplifted in order to do things during the day that your pain normally keeps you from. This makes it perfect for people who want relief from their symptoms but still have stuff to do. Another strain is called White Widow, which is generally not for beginners because of it’s very potent THC content. White Widow is an indica dominant hybrid strain, meaning that it will help to reduce your aches and pains while it also helps you drift off to sleep at night.

This is perfect for medical marijuana patients who struggle to sleep at night due to the amount of pain that they are experiencing. By using White Widow an hour or so before you plan on going to bed, you can be sure that you’ll feel nice and tired when the time comes to slip into bed. You will also find surprising relief from your pain and will feel wholesome and uplifted as you drift off to sleep.
