Medical marijuana and pain management

This plant grows easily in many conditions. Described simply, its fibrous stems are used to make rope, paper, and cloth, its seeds and oil provide nourishment, and its flowers create a controversial drug.

Chronic low back pain
Due to varied clinical diagnoses of chronic low back pain (CLBP) in previous literature, findings about epidemiological features of CLBP are inconsistent. However, there is a wide range of prevalence of CLBP recorded thus far. Rising prevalence of chronic low back pain is attributed to the increased disability rates and healthcare costs.1 Individuals who are at risk for low back pain (LBP) are those who are over the age of 30 years, obese or have a high body mass index (BMI) (BMI> 30kg/m2), pregnant, do minimal exercise, and have other psychosocial factors (i.e., stress, anxiety, and depression).
