One of the most common uses for cannabis is for pain management. Whether it is chronic pain due to illness or injury or conditions such as fibromyalgia or multiple sclerosis, cannabis has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe pain from the inside and promote mobility and comfort. In fact, THC was found to be 20x the inflammatory power of Aspirin with twice the anti-inflammatory potency of hydrocortisone.
