I watched my mom succumb to the throes of arthritis as she hit her mid 50’s. And like most people at that point, she went all in on depending on pharmaceuticals to help her. Those meds did help her ease the pain and gain a modicum of mobility that she likely wouldn’t have had. But she didn’t do anything else to address all that inflammation. I’m in my mid 50’s now and experiencing arthritis pain. But I’m treating medical cannabis as part of a holistic approach to inflammation and what we call arthritis. Cannabis products have been used therapeutically for thousands and thousands of years. So why it was just abandoned for pharmaceuticals is curious. But that’s another story. What is true is that medical marijuana benefits are real when it comes to joint and connective tissue inflammation. There are numerous studies that show improvement in mobility and inflammation mitigation as a result of treating with medical marijuana. I’m not going the terrile route my mom took with this. I live healthy and clean. My diet is centered around non processed, natural foods. Exercise is a big component of my life as well. Adding cannabis flower products to that mix has simply amplified the benefits of my lifestyle. My inflammation is so much less and more manageable using cannabis products and living clean and healthy. I see the medical marijuana benefits in particular when it comes to stretching my body. The range of motion is greatly extended and I don’t suffer afterward with spasm or added inflammation. With medical marijuana on my side, I’m not afraid of what the future holds when it comes to arthritis pain.
