Example Cannabis Protocol: Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis patients are plagued with nagging joint pain and inflammation that can limit their energy, while taking a toll on their mental health and quality of life. Products that are high in CBD and low in THC are a good choice to address the pain, and are particularly good for daytime use. At night, a strain with more THC may be appropriate along with a CBD oil/tincture. During a consultation appointment, we review the various cannabis products – edibles, tinctures, RSOs, smokeable vapes and more – that are best suited for the individual’s needs.

Products that are often beneficial to RA patients include:

• • Enlighten CBD
  • Daytime: Sweet Pea, Harlequin, Pineapple Express
  • Night: Pennywise, Thunderstruck, Otto, Black Mountain Kush, Grape God

• PTSD
• Cancer (pain, nausea)
• Parkinson’s
• PCS/Traumatic Brain Injury
• Fibromyalgia
• Crohn’s Disease/IBS
• MS
• Spinal Stenosis
• Migraines
