Benefits of CBD & THC For Pain Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both CBD<\/a> and THC<\/a> are incredible and innovative pain treatments backed by science. When this powerful duo is taken in conjunction, you get the benefits of both compounds \u2014 plus, they help each other be more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entourage effect<\/a> is the phenomenon where the effects of some cannabinoids are enhanced when they\u2019re accompanied by other cannabinoids that occur naturally in the cannabis plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marijuana plants contain a lot of THC, whereas hemp plants contain a lot of CBD. Although there may be trace amounts of THC in some CBD products, it\u2019s not enough to get you high \u2014 or to harness the pain-relieving effects of THC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where CBD:THC ratios come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By combining CBD and THC, whether in a pre-measured product or on your own at home, you can enjoy a pain-relieving THC high while the CBD reduces inflammation in your body, relaxes tense muscles, and lowers anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The THC binds to your CB1 receptor while the CBD binds to your CB2 receptor, allowing you to get the benefits of both compounds. The CBD also blocks some THC from binding with CB1, reducing the strong psychoactive effects of THC [1<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD also helps reduce the anxiety and paranoia some people experience after having THC. CBD is anxiety-reducing in its own right, so it helps calm the psychological side effects you get from THC while still letting you enjoy the pain-relief, muscle relaxation, and reduction of spasms [2<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Benefits of CBD & THC For Chronic Pain Sufferers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most clinical studies examining CBD as a treatment for chronic pain use at least 1:1 CBD:THC ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The science shows that patients\u2019 mean pain scores were reduced in chronic pain sufferers with various afflictions, including multiple sclerosis, advanced cancer, and neuropathic pain [3<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is huge for chronic pain sufferers because most pain relief medicine strong enough to get the job done is addictive \u2014 not to mention the host of side effects like poor sleep, depression, weight gain, and more [4<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you live in a state with medical marijuana and you\u2019re a diagnosed chronic pain sufferer, odds are your doctor has already recommended CBD and THC as a treatment. Make sure to check for any interactions with other medications<\/a> you take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Best CBD:THC Ratio & How To Dose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The best CBD:THC ratio for pain exceeds 1:9<\/strong>, meaning a lot more THC than CBD. However, if you\u2019re anxious about getting high, it\u2019ll still help your pain to take both compounds in any amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re making your own CBD-THC blend at home, it can be tough to get a precise dose of either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, use our dosage calculator<\/a> to determine how much CBD you should take. Then, determine which ratio you\u2019d like to use \u2014 probably over 1:9 for pain management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use CBD and THC gummies<\/a> or tinctures for precise measurements. You don\u2019t have to combine the CBD and THC first \u2014 just take them in conjunction or one after the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also purchase products that are already mixed at the right ratio for you. This is especially common at medical marijuana dispensaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Other CBD:THC Ratios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBD and THC have a lot of synergy when used in combination with each other. There\u2019s been a growing interest in recent years to identify the perfect ratio of each cannabinoid for managing various health conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even large pharmaceutical companies have entered the ring with their own CBD:THC ratios<\/a> for combatting specific health disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the other ratios to consider based on the current evidence available:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
