10 Types of Marijuana Perfect for Pain Relief and Better Than Opioids
31 July 2017
Physical pain can come from any source, like from the aftermath of a very intense workout or from that time where you fell down the stairs like an idiot. Marijuana has many properties that do wonders for muscle relaxation and pain relief without the scary side effects some prescription drugs are known for.
There are multiple ways to consume marijuana. You can eat or drink it, rub it into your skin, vape, smoke and much more. Ask the budtenders at your local dispensary which products have the strains listed and then pick how you want to put it into your body.
