Inhaling marijuana is losing traction to easier-to-use alternatives

After more studies have confirmed the use of cannabis to treat health conditions such as inflammation, chronic pain, skin conditions and many more, a new study confirms that a longer cannabis treatment can improve the quality of life for those who suffer from fibromyalgia. With an increased number of chronic pain patients to try cannabis as an alternative treatment to their fibromyalgia, a new product focused on this group, is available in the market in the form of chewing gum.

The common treatment for people diagnosed with fibromyalgia is a dose of pain relievers, antidepressants and antiseizure medications. Now, more patients are willing to try another option that promises less hassle when it comes to administering it. MedChewRx is coming to the market as a marijuana gum specifically made for fibromyalgia patients. The main ingredients will be 5 mg of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and 5 mg of CBD (cannabidiol), which are the two main active compounds in the cannabis plant. This alternative comes to tackle the struggle between smoking cannabis, which can potentially hurt the lungs, and edibles that can take more time to have an effect. Chewing gum makes the tissues in the mouth absorb some of the compounds quickly and deliver them directly to the bloodstream, bypassing the liver, promising lesser time needed for the effects to occur.

Fibromyalgia is a health disorder that causes general pain in patients and which can lead to life-challenging consequences such as sleep deprivation, fatigue, digestive issues, just to name a few. On top of treating this condition, chewing marijuana gum can also add extra benefits, including relieving stress, act as a neurostimulator and protect the mind, and it will be clearly more socially accepted that carrying a vaporizer with CBD oil.
