I watched my uncle succumb to the horribleness of arthritis as he hit his mid 50’s.
And like everyone at that point, he went all in on depending on pharmaceuticals to help him.
Those meds did help his ease with the pain and receive a modicum of mobility that he likely wouldn’t have gotten. But he didn’t do anything else to address all that addiction. I’m in my mid 50’s now plus experiencing arthritis pain. But I’m treating medical cannabis as a space of a holistic approach to inflammation and what every one of us call arthritis. Cannabis products have been used well into the years and will still be used. So why it was just abandoned for pharmaceuticals is curious. But that’s another case. What is true is that medical marijuana benefits are real when it comes to joint and connective tissue inflammation. There are many cases that show improvement in mobility and inflammation mitigation as a result of treating with medical marijuana. I’m not going the sad route my uncle took with this. I live healthy plus clean. My diet is centered around non processed, organic foods. Exercise is a large component of my life as well. Adding cannabis flower products to that combo has simply amplified the pros of my lifestyle. My inflammation is so much less and more manageable using cannabis products plus living clean plus fresh. I see the medical marijuana benefits in particular when it comes to stretching my body. The range of motion is greatly increased plus I don’t suffer afterward with spasm or added pain. With medical marijuana on my side, I’m not afraid of what the future holds when it comes to arthritis pain.
