Cannabis and Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a condition with chronic, widespread pain, fatigue and sleep issues. An Italian study researched patients who had tried other medications, without much relief. Scientists found that cannabis doses with more CBD than THC provided the best results for pain alleviation. In addition, one third of the participants benefited from better sleep and over half noticed a decrease in anxiety and depression. Many patients were able to decrease other medications or even eliminate them. Cannabis does not have the negative side effects of those other drugs. Although there is no cure for fibromyalgia, cannabis can be a pretty amazingly effective, natural alternative to other prescription drugs.
