I suffer from a fairly mild case of arthritis in my hands. Every now and then, my fingers swell up and become stiff and painful. It’s not severe enough that I’m willing to go to the doctor or risk taking medication that might have harmful consequences. I prefer to handle the symptoms with cannabis. Using a plant-based remedy provides relief without side-effects. I’m fortunate to live in my location where recreational weed is legal. I’m able to shop at any of the local dispensaries simply by showing my identification. There are lots of cannabis products available that work well in treating arthritis. CBD, in particular, has proven effective in lessening pain, inflammation and stiffness. I have found that full-spectrum CBD products are the most beneficial. Unlike CBD isolate, full-spectrum options contain trace amounts of multiple cannabinoids, including THC. They work together to enhance curative properties. For almost immediate effects, I often choose a full-spectrum tincture. Tinctures are made by stripping away excess plant matter and leaving behind the desired cannabinoids and terpenes. For this reason, a very small dose goes a long way. I simply place a couple of drops under my tongue and wait for the liquid to dissolve. I feel the effects within a couple of minutes. I like that the compact packaging fits into a pocket and includes a handy dropper for precise dosing. There is no smoke or odors. Consumption doesn’t require any extra gear or special skills. When stored properly, tinctures offer an especially long shelf-life. I can keep a bottle available for whenever my arthritis flares up and gives me problems.
