As of 2021, a total of 36 states have legalized marijuana for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK574562\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medical purposes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, South Dakota being one of them. Despite the hurdles of research on the effectiveness of cannabis since the U.S. still considers marijuana a Schedule 1 drug (even though it is legal for medical use in more than half of the U.S.), numerous research on the effectiveness of medicinal cannabis in treating chronic pain has been conducted over the years. Various studies have looked at how cannabis has reduced the use of opioids to treat chronic pain, how cannabis has decreased pain in those suffering from neuropathic pain, back pain, arthritis, post-surgical pain, headaches, and abdominal pain, and how cannabis can be dosed correctly to treat chronic pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Cannabis_Works_In_The_Body_To_Treat_Chronic_Pain\"><\/span><b>How Cannabis Works In The Body To Treat Chronic Pain<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that Chronic Pain was the primary symptom for which the evidence supporting the use of cannabis medicines was rated as \u2018strong\u2019 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/news\/2017\/01\/health-effects-of-marijuana-and-cannabis-derived-products-presented-in-new-report\">2017 National Academics report<\/a>?

The ECS works by using the cannabinoid receptors found in select tissues. There are at least two types of cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are found in the central nervous system (brain and nerves of the spinal cord), while CB2 receptors are found in the peripheral nervous system (nerves in your limbs), the digestive system, and specific immune cells. Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) are the receptors that govern the behavioral consequences of cannabis when taken.CB1 receptors are found in the brain and throughout the body, but CB2 receptors are predominantly found in the immunological and gastrointestinal systems; although CB2 receptors are found in the brain as well, they are not as densely expressed as CB1 receptors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common naturally occurring cannabinoids you need to know about are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC (the psychoactive component of cannabis) binds to the CB1 receptor more tightly than the CB2 receptor. When patients feel \u2018high\u2019 it is because their body\u2019s CB1 receptors are bonding to the THC, activating psychoactive effects. Meanwhile, CBD works differently in the body and does not leave patients feeling the psychoactive effects of cannabis, although still delivering desirable results. CBD can work well to treat inflammation, which is often associated with chronic or debilitating pain. As you can see, medical marijuana products are obvious targets for possible treatments such as chronic pain, since they promote ECS activity. Cannabis works differently for everyone, as no one ESC is the same so it is important to explore different options with your physician during your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymarijuanacards.com\/south-dakota\/how-to-qualify\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medical marijuana card evaluation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as mixed ratio products, for treating pain relief.
