Living with joint pain can be a daily challenge, disrupting even the simplest of tasks and impacting quality of life.

Fortunately, the ever-growing world of CBD (cannabidiol) products offers a promising alternative for pain relief, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

CEO and Founder of cannabis clinic Mamedica, Jon Robson, says: “We recommend choosing products made from organically grown hemp, ideally sourced from reputable regions with stringent agricultural standards. Transparent labelling, which clearly states the CBD content, and a reputable brand with positive customer feedback, are also essential in selecting a product that is both safe and effective for your health needs.”

“There is no one-size-fits-all dosage and should be tailored to meet individual needs”, Robson explains. “For example, to relieve anxiety, the ideal dosage will depend on the strength of the CBD, how it’s administered and personal health factors, like body weight. We strongly advise that patients consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate and effective dosage for their specific condition.”

According to the cannabis expert, “Similarly to when looking for a high-quality CBD product, consumers should check the label for things such as CBD content, whether the product is derived from organically grown hemp and if possible, check customer reviews of the brand of the product. ”

“One of the most prevalent is the belief that CBD provides immediate results. However, it typically requires consistent use over time to achieve full effectiveness, especially for chronic pain”, Robson says. “Many people are also of the belief that CBD and THC are the same, when in fact, they are far from. Another common misconception is that all CBD products are the same, but the reality is that quality and potency can differ significantly depending on factors such as extraction methods and the presence of other cannabinoids and terpenes.”
