What This Study Teaches Us The study suggests that among adults who self-select a recreational edible cannabis product for chronic low back pain, THC-dominant and balanced THC+CBD products are associated with lower same-day and next-day pain intensity compared with days of non-use, that higher THC doses track with lower next-day pain, and that increasing CBD dose appears to blunt that THC-associated benefit
Our patients consistently outperform that benchmark, because protein, resistance training, and body composition tracking are part of every plan from day one
