Medical patients reported high symptom relief when using THC
Often in the media, general conversations about marijuana’s medicinal benefits reduce the plant’s 100-plus cannabinoids to a focus of one — cannabidiol, or CBD, as it’s commonly referred. CBD is non-psychoactive, presenting an easier entry point for new users while THC includes the intoxicating “high” cannabis is known for.
The researchers studied the “largest database of real-time measurements of the effects of cannabis in the United States,” via the ReLeaf app. In using the app, medical patients reported the effects of their cannabis use—which strains they were using, what their medical ailment was, what their consumption method was, and more. They found that patients who used cannabis strains with higher ratios of THC to CBD reported greater symptom relief versus those who used CBD-dominant strains.
