Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best strain for chronic pain?
Blue Dream, OG Kush, and White Widow are commonly explored for pain-related discovery. Strains high in caryophyllene and myrcene are often researched for body-forward, relaxing profiles, but results vary by person and batch.
Is CBD or THC better for pain?
Both help with pain through different mechanisms. THC reduces pain perception while CBD reduces inflammation. A combination (1:1 ratio) often works best.
