These compounds interact with the body&#8217;s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain, mood, and other physiological and cognitive processes. THC, for example, is known for its psychoactive effects but also has pain-relieving properties. CBD, on the other hand, does not produce psychoactive effects and is researched for its potential in reducing inflammation and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/understand-pain-and-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/understand-pain-and-cannabis-post-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/understand-pain-and-cannabis-post-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/understand-pain-and-cannabis-post-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/understand-pain-and-cannabis-post.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-354619d9e8faa7e1550979bd8ef977c2\">CBD for Pain Relief:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound in cannabis that has gained attention for its potential in managing pain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Studies suggest CBD may help reduce inflammation and pain without the psychoactive effects associated with THC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlike THC, CBD does not produce a &#8220;high,&#8221; making it an appealing option for individuals seeking pain relief without altered mental states.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-759eced2f0b79dcb0af0a9dc2a309d97\">Terpenes and Pain Management:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants, contributing to their flavor, scent, and color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain terpenes, such as myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, are believed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For example, myrcene is known for its sedative and muscle relaxant effects, while beta-caryophyllene is noted for its anti-inflammatory properties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b48e1cd2b21ae15303f6334ad9b284ec\">The Entourage Effect:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The entourage effect refers to the theory that all compounds in cannabis (cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids) work together synergistically, enhancing their therapeutic effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This effect suggests that whole-plant cannabis products may be more effective for pain management than isolated cannabinoids.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The interaction between CBD, THC, and terpenes may enhance pain relief, reduce inflammation, and mitigate side effects, offering a holistic approach to pain management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/senior-cannabis-clinical-research-post-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/senior-cannabis-clinical-research-post-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/senior-cannabis-clinical-research-post-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/senior-cannabis-clinical-research-post-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/senior-cannabis-clinical-research-post.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e7f1fe88d8ca479fb0d15dab485f9b6a\">Clinical Research and Evidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the body of research is growing, it is crucial to reference scientific studies when discussing the efficacy of cannabis for pain relief. For instance, a review published in the Journal of Pain Research highlights the potential of cannabinoids to alleviate chronic pain, suggesting that they can interact with pain receptors in the brain and potentially reduce pain sensation [Source: &#8220;Cannabinoids in the management of difficult to treat pain,&#8221; Journal of Pain Research, 2008].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another study, conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, concluded that there is substantial evidence that cannabis is an effective treatment for chronic pain in adults [Source: &#8220;The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids,&#8221; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2017].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-70a8d2fecf25186139f5116b5ea92391\">Marijuana Risks for Seniors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When considering cannabis for pain management, it&#8217;s important to consult healthcare providers to understand the potential benefits and marijuana risks for seniors based on their health profile. It&#8217;s important to start with low doses and go slow, especially if they are new to cannabis. Different strains and products have varying effects, so finding the right fit is key to managing pain effectively while minimizing potential side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-global-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-92dbd050d37f0af6a903271991cd4b30\">Practical Considerations for Seniors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While seniors increasingly find relief in cannabis for various age-related conditions, it&#8217;s important to be mindful of marijuana risks, particularly for those with heart conditions. Smoking cannabis may elevate heart rate and blood pressure &#8211; just as seniors might moderate coffee intake to manage caffeine effects, they should consider cannabis use carefully, balancing potential benefits with awareness of cardiovascular risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cannabis offers a potential alternative for seniors seeking to manage chronic pain, with scientific research supporting its use in pain relief. However, it is essential to approach this option with caution, informed knowledge, and professional guidance. Bloom Medicinals is committed to providing seniors with the information and support they need to explore cannabis responsibly and effectively, always prioritizing safety and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-base-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-base-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-135006c4e67bf17eb93c946775b755ac\">Shop Online for the Best Cannabis Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cannabis-products-for-seniors-post-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cannabis-products-for-seniors-post-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cannabis-products-for-seniors-post-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cannabis-products-for-seniors-post-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.bloommarijuana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cannabis-products-for-seniors-post.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color\">Ohio Bloom Dispensaries:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohio boasts a selection of top-notch medical dispensaries, and Bloom proudly operates in 5 convenient locations across the state.
