Hello,
A paper published by the University of South Carolina, School of Medicine, stated that "the fact that both Cannabinoid-1 and Cannabinoid-2 receptors have been found on immune cells suggests that cannabinoids play an important role in the regulation of the immune system." They found that when THC was administered, immune cell activity was reduced, which is to say that inflammation was reduced.

And while cannabis research has historically focused on THC, synthetic cannabinoids, or our own naturally occurring cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), there is an evergrowing body of research regarding the anti-inflammatory effects of CBD. In a study with very exciting implications — this time performed on mice with artificially induced arthritis — researchers concluded that, similar to THC, "CBD, through its combined immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory actions, has a potent anti-arthritic effect" which may even "block the progression of arthritis."

Further, a very recently published study concluded that "topical CBD application has therapeutic potential for relief of arthritis pain-related behaviors and inflammation without evident side-effects."

When treating chronic back pain patients, I often recommend a high CBD:low THC, such as the 18:1 products by Care By Design. I also recommend topicl creams with both CBD and THC; when applied topically, the THC will not cause psychoactive effects.
Some products to consider:
- https://www.cbd.org/products/ – 18:1 products
- https://sensiproducts.com/product/sensi-caps-cbd-softgels-full-spectrum-251/
- https://jettyextracts.com/collections/pax-era-pods – Cannatonic CBD
