Using Medical Cannabis as a Performance Enhancer
Cannabis is being used across the country to improve the quality of life, restore balance, and increase performance for millions of Americans battling conditions of anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, and arthritis.
Anxiety
In healthy amounts, anxiety is a useful and healthy emotion. Categorized as a mental health condition, the symptoms of anxiety include nervousness, worry, fear, and apprehension.
When people experience disproportionate amounts of anxiety it is recognized as a medical disorder and can be treated with medical cannabis to restore balance.
Studies have shown that cannabis can help promote an increased sense of calm, improve relaxation, increase healthy sleep, and reduce stress, which is one of the most common causes of anxiety.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is different from ‘typical’ pain in that it persists for weeks, months, or even years and significantly impacts your life, disrupting both your professional and social life and wreaking havoc on your mental health.
Thousands of people have and continue to use cannabis to successfully treat chronic pain and reduce dependency or potential dependence on opioid-based pharmaceuticals.
The distinct advantage of using cannabis over other pharmaceutical opioid-based medications is that it has no effect on your breathing modulation, therefore making it impossible to overdose.
Insomnia
Insomnia affects millions of Americans and can make it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, and also cause you to wake up much earlier than you should.
People that have insomnia often suffer from common impairments including fatigue and malaise, memory and concentration difficulties, mood disturbances and irritability, and behavioral problems such as hyperactivity and aggression.
There are a number of studies that provide information on the ability of medical cannabis to help people restore natural sleep cycles and improve their quality of life.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a joint condition that causes swelling and tenderness in one or more of your joints.
As we age, pain and stiffness typically worsen and can seriously affect our quality of life. The two predominant types of arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
The body’s natural response to muscle and joint injuries is to flood the area with inflammatory bodies.
Cannabis is a natural anti-inflammatory, and patients have praised and continue to use cannabis for its ability to reduce pain and swelling in both joints and muscles.
