There is a lot of interest in how medical marijuana might help reduce inflammation. Scientists actively study how different compounds in cannabis, called cannabinoids, affect inflammation in the body. It turned out that THC by itself doesn’t affect inflammation, but together with CBD, does. CBD also works alone, and so does CBG, another cannabinoid. This means that the best strains for inflammation should be rich in CBD and CBG, and there are plenty of those to choose from on this page.
