MIGRAINES

Migraines can be annoying and can also damage the bodies of those affected.

For years, cannabis has been studied as a possible medical solution for migraine control and pain relief for patients.

In 2016, a study carried out by different researchers was published in the journal Pharmacotherapy. This analysis was developed between 2012 and 2014, following more than 120 adults with constant migraines.

The research result showed that migraine attacks decreased from 10.4 to only 4.6 per month with the use of medical cannabis.

39% of the patients used medical cannabis preventively to avoid migraines, 19% of the patients felt that they controlled their migraines when using medical cannabis, 11% of the patients reported that they smoked cannabis and felt pain relief when inhaling marijuana.

The adverse effects of this cannabis treatment were drowsiness, which was experienced by 11% of the patients, and difficulties in controlling the effects of cannabis to the dose of consumption (1% of the patients)

Here, we share 10 of the best varieties that will help you fight against the annoying migraine and relieve those pains that you are suffering from.

1. Chemdawg 4

Due to the high potency of this strain and also to its effect that is mental, relaxing, and also physical, cannabis users recommend Chemdawg #4 for the control of migraines.

All these properties of Chemdawg 4 are inherited from its ancestors that go back to some Skunk and Afghan varieties, originating from the high mountains.
