The best analgesic marijuana strains
Many medical patients use cannabis for its pain-relieving properties. Initially, these properties were used in patients in more severe cases, i.e. in multiple sclerosis, or, for example, to alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy. Currently, more and more often, patients themselves indicate to their doctors that they want to use marijuana, e.g. migraine, muscle or post-traumatic pain. Compared to other painkillers available in pharmacies, marijuana causes significantly fewer side effects. Besides, chronic pains (e.g. headaches or muscle pains) are not everything. Many people, together with oppressive pain, also struggle with inflammation, fatigue, nervousness or depression, in which marijuana can also be very helpful, and in which other painkillers do not help.
What marijuana produces an analgesic effect?
There are cannabis genetics that we immediately associate with pain-relieving effects. Legendary genes include: Jack Herer and/ or OG Kush. However, on the medical marijuana market, we can meet a much greater variety of medicinal genes, including those that work primarily as an analgesic. In Germany, at the momentthere are over 100 medical varieties marijuana! In order to obtain even better medical effects, new crosses are created, such as OG kush x Wedding Cake; White Russian Black Domina or, for example, G13 x Afghani. Some say it really is all varieties of marijuana are medical, although some genetics cause definitely more effects conducive to the therapeutic effect of cannabis. But are there any dependencies in the content of cannabinoids or other phytochemicals that make marijuana more medical, e.g. in terms of pain relief?
Analgesic Marijuana.
Which Cannabis Relieves Pain? This question can be answered in a more general way. Cannabis, or marijuana in other words, are plants that contain hundreds of unique compounds that together affect the final effect (synergy effect) on the human body. The most studied hemp cannabinoid compounds to date are THC and CBD. In all hemp, both compounds are present, however, e.g. in hemp, which is legal in Poland, THC can be present at a level of up to max. 0,3%, and in illegal cannabis CBD may be present in trace amounts.

What compounds in cannabis have an analgesic effect?
Both listed cannabinoids (THC and CBD) significantly affect the analgesic effect of marijuana. THC directly affects the receptors in the human endocannabinoid system. Cannabidiol, or CBD, affects these receptors indirectly, regulating the work taking place in the system responsible for the internal balance of the body. Lesser known cannabinoids that may also contribute to the analgesic effect of cannabis are CBC (Cannabichromene) and THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin).
However, as we mentioned, in addition to THC and CBD, hemp contains a huge amount of other cannabinoids in various proportions, as well as terpenes and other chemical compounds. Hence, there is no exact "recipe" for the best analgesic marijuana, and there are only varieties that have been tested for pain relief and those that contain a large amount of analgesic cannabinoids, i.e. THC and / or CBD, as well as terpenes and phytochemicals with analgesic potential .

Analgesic terpenes in cannabis
For cannabis terpenes with analgesic potential include, among others:
- Beta-caryophyllene – anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic effect. It stimulates the endogenous secretion of β-endorphin peptide precursors, which produce an analgesic effect. It is of the greatest importance in reducing neuralgia.
- linalool – the use of linalool results in a local anesthetic effect. Linalool may exert an analgesic effect by activating the opioidergic system, the same as that of, for example, morphine.
- myrcene - increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, has an anesthetic and anti-inflammatory effect. It stimulates the body to produce natural painkillers. Its analgesic effect is enhanced by the presence of other terpenes, i.e. citral and/or beta-caryophyllene.
- pinene – blocks inflammation and has a potential neuropathic and inflammatory analgesic effect.
