Fibromyalgia is a very poorly understood condition. It’s even less clear how to treat it, but if you ask cannabis enthusiasts, many will say that it helps relieve the pain during a flare-up and also takes care of other fibromyalgia symptoms, such as fatigue and depression. A scientific literature review suggested that cannabis is indeed effective for fibromyalgia, and one theory why it does provide relief is that people with this condition have deficits in their endocannabinoid system. That’s why they self-medicate with cannabinoids found in weed and get a respite from this painful condition. CBD is an especially interesting option for fibromyalgia, as it isn’t psychoactive and may help without making us high. It also reduces inflammation and lowers anxiety, thereby promoting good sleep. However, THC is an even better sleep medicine and quite effective for pain and depression. This means that any strain can be potentially effective for fibromyalgia. Choose one that works for you among the list of the strains that other users have found helpful.
