Chronic Pain

Medical cannabis has been identified as a popular alternative to several pain medications, including opioids.  While chronic pain has often been linked to cancer, it may be additionally related to other conditions, including diabetes, non-migraine headaches, spasticity, joint pain, and heart disease.  At present, the FDA has not approved the use of cannabis-based products to relieve pain.  Additionally, various strains have been shown to be more effective. Prospectively, research will later examine the differing effects of cannabis Indica, cannabis Sativa, and hybrids.
