This session focuses on one of the most common reasons seniors turn to cannabis: managing chronic pain. We’ll explore how cannabis may offer relief for conditions like arthritis, neuropathy, and inflammation. Topics include the science of pain modulation with respect to cannabis and the endocannabinoid system, how to use a tailored approach when managing pain (ex using cannabis as a tool in combination with other lifestyle behaviours), product selection guidelines, safe dosing guidelines and safety considerations to manage side effects and how to recognize when cannabis may not be a suitable therapy.
