Sore wrist, predominantly left from muay thai (yes properly strapped etc). Been sore for weeks now. It's been x-rayed and allk good, soft tissue damage. Just doesn't seem to be getting any better. GP said rest / RICE and gave me a script for celecoxib but it's not helping all that much at all, if any. So I'm looking into proper CBD oil as a) I'm a bit of a hippy and like the think the answer to everything isn't a little white tablet from big pharma with heaps of side effects and b) it actually sounds like it's effective. I know the question has cropped up in various guises so just thought I'd ask here. Any one use CBD oil for pain management?
BTW if you are just going to bang on about getting stoned or something like that, just step away from the keyboard eh?
Ta
Ok, this may help or it may not.
ive been in Switzerland for the past couple of years and was taking cbd oil just to try it. I have trouble sleeping from time to time ( been awake since 2am , now it’s 6am )
i also happened to be riding around 9,000 miles a year so pretty much full on and putting pressure on my body.
the Swiss oil was 1% thc where as the max in the uk and Europe is 0.2% max. Basically you aren’t going to get stoned off it but the Swiss stuff does give the hint of a tickle 🙂.
obvioulsy the key part was the cbd content which is really down to you trusting the seller and manufacturers not to bull crap you. It isn’t regulated so they can say what they like about % content and get away with it.
i found a lab that produced proper 20% oil which was about £70 for 30 ml . It helped me ,greatly. I found I slept well for the first time in ages. This made me a nicer person to be around and also helped with my general mood.
Most of my niggling pain issues eased but this could simply be down to the sleeep.
who knows. But I do know that it helped me,directly or indirectly and now I’m living in Dublin I find it nearly impossible to get anything like the quality that I could get from the Swiss.
im summery. If you can get good stuff it’s worth a try. If you can’t trace the lab for test results it could well be hemp seed cooking oil.
we bought some for our boxer dog, Cooper. he started getting arthritis in his front leg. so we got some from holland and barratt, and even bean freaks. it takes about a month, to notice any changes, but his limping has gone. obviously he can't tell us, but he walks fine now. having spoke to other dog owners, they use it too. give it a go.
No idea about the oil but.....
I solved my wrist pain by cutting my bars down from 760 to 710.
Mine was wrist pain plus tingling in the arms, and it mainly came on when I was riding. Initially I was ok with 760 and did a couple of 12 hour days riding without any such pain, but after a year or so it was getting me every time I rode and staying with me for a while post-ride. I twigged what was causing it when I rode an older bike with 680 bars and experienced no pain.
I've no axe to grind either way but I'm not sure that even its greatest fans would suggest that CBD oil is a good answer for short term soft-tissue injury - or do they ??
Muay Thai wrist injury here too.
Had it for years. Nothing helped. Couldn't even handle one press-up because of the pain
Started on CBD oil for anxiety but the biggest impact has been on my wrist. Pain completely gone.
I ran out of CBD when I was on holiday for 3 weeks in the summer and the wrist pain came back. Took a couple of big doses of CBD when I got some and it disappeared in a day.
Wonder stuff. I also get zero doms or post training pain. Big bike rides no longer wipe me out for days.
I get mine from LoveCBD.org. I use the 300mg oil
"The answer to everything isn't a little white pill from big pharma"
Much of the CBD oil you buy in Europe is generic white Chinese CBD powder stirred into food oil. Go on Alibaba, you can buy it by the kilo.
You know what, i'm going to buy a bottle to try some, for some post injury related pain.
I made a real mess of my shoulder just over 18 months ago, and despite all the rehab, and endless appointments with various specialists, threats of surgery, etc i'm left with something that is probably 90%, but hurts, most of the time & have basically been told that's as good as it will get. Combined with a knackered wrist & thumb from another accident from years ago - I figure what the hell. If it works, great, if it doesn't, then i've lost a little bit of money.
it's got to be healthier than taking painkillers to ride my bike, if it does help.
Seriously tempted myself. Had pain issues on-off for over 6 years - one post operative pain, then got my spine mangled by a car driver. Still in pain, and having tried the stuff the GP's prescribe (horrible side effects and horrendous coming off them when you realise the side effects are bad and outweigh the pain).
Main issues are sleep - tried OTC sleeping pills, and on Etoricoxib anti-inflamatory only now - I'm on a big dose, no side effects noticable, but I'd rather try something else.
How long does 300mg spray last ?
The Holland and b stuff is shite. Too low level to really do anything in my experience. Aim for 10% as a minimum.
I'm tempted too, I've been given diclofenac in the past and now naproxen from the GP for my pinned and plated left wrist.
It's worse in winter, but it's basically 365 days a year low-level chronic plain with bouts of acute pain, enough to make me wince and this is coming from someone who has a note on his NHS file along the lines of "Patient has high tolerance for pain and discomfort that may mask symptoms".
I'm struggling to get my head around what I actually need though, on one hand my local pharmacy has a sign in the window offering 20% something, on the other I read about the stuff that Women and her Kid got stopped at Heathrow with the other month and needed a Home Office licence to get back, I assume they're not the same thing.
Remember that oil is now available with a prescription from your doc. This is the high lever cbd - the good stuff.
P-jay. They were arrested as the THC content was higher than the 0.2% legal limit for the uk.
I am going to try cbd oil. for arthritis. just need to know what to buy.
anyone point me it the right direction.
Lovecbd entourage oil helped a lot with my back pain, which isn't why I bought it but a welcome bonus.
Aim for 10% as a minimum.
Well I made the commitment (having looked on & off for probably the last few months) & just went for some & that's what I picked - it seems to be about the lowest level 'decent' stuff you can get. Now is the time of year my wrist starts to play up & i'm training to get my shoulder stronger anyway, went for the oil, so will see what happens I guess.
Nothing ventured & all that.
anyone point me it the right direction

The £18.99 bottle
Just ordered summa that. Sposed to help sleep, I heard. Bloody need that at the mo.
I've been tempted to try some for various MS related ailments. I was listening to a Podcast today about it as it happens, however it was US based. It bought up issues around regulation, in that there isn't any in the states so companies can put whatever they want on the lab results really, I'm unsure how much this holds true here? The evidence on it working is lacking and largely anecdotal (it's rather illegal at federal level in the US for a start so difficult to get studies), but it does seem to work really well for some people although likely some placebo effect for some other people too.
I think I'll try some of that above from lovecbd.
Lovecbd. I personally wouldn’t bother buying that. It’s no better than Holland and b.
https://www.fortheageless.com/collections/cbd-oil/products/10-cbd-oil-organic-1000mg-10ml
Looks ok but higher cost. They reccomend 2 drops a day. I took around 5 drops 3 times a day. What worked for me an others on here may not work for you.
Some excellent replies, thanks!
BoardinBob - we do push ups on knuckles (wrapped hands of course) which is meant to help build wrist strength. I've never been all that good at push ups but this doesn't seem to cause me much of a problem. I really notice it doing left crosses and sometimes it prevents me putting effort in just in case I get that twinge of pain. Got a bag at home and spend time on my technique as there's sod all point going full on if the technique isn't there. I find the more tired I am, the less I pivot on my front left and turn my hip.
Yesterday morning my wrist was killing me, but class last night was fine and I don't feel too bad today (apart from my shin as I forgot my shin pads and I paired up with another guy who also forgot pads - serves me right!)
Might add I'm in Australia and I figured the Holland and Barrett stuff was possibly not the better kind. Hard to find a supplier that looks trustworthy as I'm not entirely sure how regulated this is in Oz. If you believe the marketing hype then it's all good stuff. It's not all that expensive but I don't want to buy crap that won't work.
I found this place which appears to be local and I've sent an email to see if I can blag a sample. Will talk to my GP and see what she says, she's pretty good..
If you Google "hemp products office of drug control" it will tell you what is legal in Australia
There are experimental crops being grown for high THC medications but they're not allowed to be sold on the open market obviously
I can get high THC products no drama. ... Wasn't quite what I was looking for though. I accept there are certain benefits to THC but I'm looking at reputable cbd products either otc or prescription if need be.
Chvck said "I’ve been tempted to try some for various MS related ailments"
Chvck, is you haven't already, it would be great for you to talk to Andy McKenna from Go where Scotland
Have a look at his website www.stokedonms.org.uk
Lovecbd. I personally wouldn’t bother buying that
They do stronger stuff than the one i linked to. Personally I’ve had great results with the 300mg stuff. Tried the 500mg one month and felt no additional benefit. It’s significantly better than the H&B stuff which I’ve also tried.
Love CBD have their lab results up
https://www.lovecbd.org/lab-results/
Yes, there will be very little difference between 3 or 5%. 10 is the sweet spot for cost I think. I used 20% just because it’s was the strongest reliability available from a tracked source and thought if I didn’t feel anything from the highest strength it was probably not worth persevering. After experimenting for two years I think 10% is worth taking but anything less not so due to the cost vs benefit.
obviously in just I’m my opinion.
Anyone think it’s ironic that there’s an advert for Voltarol Pain Relif Gel at the end of this thread....
CBD oil as a) I’m a bit of a hippy and like the think the answer to everything isn’t a little white tablet from big pharma with heaps of side effects
Get this, anything that has a pharmacological effect has sides - including CBD oil - just because it's not produced by western big pharma doesn't mean it won't have any.
Some research indicates that the use of CBD oil may trigger a number of side effects, including:
Anxiety
Changes in appetite
Changes in mood
Diarrhea
Dizziness
Drowsiness
Dry mouth
Nausea
VomitingThere’s also some concern that use of CBD oil may lead to increased levels of liver enzymes (a marker of liver damage or inflammation).
Interesting...
Pre- CBD oil
Anxiety - yep, caused by TIA, AF, TIA meds
Changes in appetite - see above
Changes in mood - see above.
Diarrhea - see above
Dizziness - AF
Drowsiness - constantly after TIA meds
Dry mouth - no, will see
Nausea - no
Vomiting - no
See if there's much difference!
Ray I'd rather take cbd oil than nurofen. Hands down. No problem. Every medication has a side effect for someone. Wonder who funded the research into all of these cbd side effects.....?

Epidolex who market it as an FDA regulated drug - you have to perform clinical trials and document and investigate side effects before you can get market approval.
But yeah, something something big pharma - **** the man, am I right?
Oh and that lovecbd lab testing - I wouldn't trust it. The lab is some shitty Czech lab without any kinds of accreditation or external auditing.
Have fun putting shit in your body that you don't even know what it is or whether it's been produced to a quality that is safe for human use.
Are any of these produced under license to GMP standards or at least QC'd by GMP compliant labs?
https://bedrocan.com/products-services/healthcare/cannabis-oil/
These cannabinoid-rich extracts can pose risks to patients who consume them. The exact composition of different available oils is frequently unknown. They are not checked for quality by external certified laboratories for the presence of residual solvents, or contaminants such as microbes, pesticides, heavy metals or mycotoxins. The lack of standardisation of both the cannabis starting material and oils makes it impossible to fully evaluate their therapeutic effects over time and, hence, their medicinal value.
Don't hold back now Tom!

The Swiss ones are but I’m yet to find anything in the uk.
i worked with one of the big pharma companies in the uk on Qc, so am fussier than most when it comes to things I consume.
Seems a bit unfair - look at how clean and white it is: https://m.alibaba.com/product/60794970032/Best-price-cannabidiol-isolate-cannabidiol-CBD.html?s=p
yeah, something something big pharma – **** the man, am I right?
No. Absolutely wrong. As someone who has relied on insulin for the best part of 30 years, I quite like big pharma. Also as someone who has helped people with mental health issues for 15 years, big pharma works for me in that sense. What I don't like is pain relief meds that mess up my stomach. I do like pain medication that works with comparatively fewer horrible side effects.
It’s staggering that we’ve sleepwalked into this culture where there is so much mistrust of experts that people would rather buy untested, unregulated drugs on the internet than do what their doctor recommends.
People are recommending that others bulk buy pharmaceuticals from AliBaBa. Just let that sink in. Mindboggling.
Noone was suggesting ordering a 25kg drum of dubious white powder from alibaba. We are talking about cbd oils which are not untested and do have some very positive reports when compared to prescribed pain relief. No medication or remedy is utterly free from side effects but as I said, I personally would rather take a reputable cbd oil over nurofen, celebrex or diclofrnac. I'm not about to import kilos of powder from China, but I would give a good quad lity cbd oil or spray a try.
You do have to wonder why certain big pharma are against the benefits of cannabis based products yet working on synthetic cannabis alternatives.....
Had a spray yesterday eve. Same shit night’s sleep as ever, just with a gob that tasted like an ashtray 😏

They are untested. They are not produced to GMP standards and are therefore not QC'd properly or produced to a high quality standard that can be evidenced through a paper trail.
Do you know why GMP was introduced? Because a long time ago, well meaning pharmaceutical companies killed a lot of people on multiple occasions through relatively minor mistakes or shortcuts during manufacturing.
I work in QA, my life is basically spent looking out for mistakes or idiots taking shortcuts that might kill patients. You'd be surprised at how many mistakes competent professionals make.
Now do you think that Mr Jakub Novak who couldn't be bothered setting up a proper pharmaceutical manufacturing company but couldn't quite be arsed to deal with the risks of illicit drug manufacture and smuggling, can be arsed to produce your material to a high standard - that is free from contamination?
You do have to wonder why certain big pharma are against the benefits of cannabis based products yet working on synthetic cannabis alternatives…..
No you don't, pharmaceutical companies are marketing CBD oil that is manufactured under license - just not in the UK yet. Did you ever notice how many pharmaceutical drugs are actually derived from natural occurring compounds?
a good quad lity cbd oil or spray a try.
What defines good quality?
"A reputable CBD oil"
How do you know your CBD oil isn't one of the ones being made from the alibaba powder?
A lot of cheap ones are. Cbd powder and hemp seed cooking oil for that authentic Marijuana flavour.
If i wanted some id probably be looking at making some myself.. ive made tinctures and butters and stuff dead easy. its basically the same process.. I think youd just have to bake off the thc if you didnt want to get high.
Most of the stuff you can buy in the uk will be shit imo. You need really high concentrations for real results. We're lacking regulation as others have mentioned atm.

That's true Superficial but we're not talking about high blood pressure here - pain is not something science / medicine has cracked yet, and in a lot of cases the Doctor just doesn't really have anything decent to recommend. Our current best pain drug was discovered by Ug the caveman 20,000 years ago and we've not made a really significant advance since - it is a bastardly difficult problem.
So I agree with you and raybanwomble that buying jarg pharmaceuticals online is a joke, CBD is probably bollox anyway, and most people do not understand how GMP is a pillar of civilisation - but you also have to appreciate the problem at hand. This is not neccessarily herb-tards thumbing their nose at big pharma - long term neuropathic pain is crippling for quality of life and there often just isn't a good pharmaceutical solution. It's hardly mindboggling that people will look to alternatives.
I’ve been using CBD from The Herb Kingdom for a while, it’s a great product and has helped greatly.
Does efficacy factor into QA or are you just looking at the quality of the product, how it's made and it's components? As with most things there will be strong for and against arguments which is why I'm asking people here for their experiences, good and bad.
I am not about to blindly buy a potion off the internet without first doing some fact finding and as I said, no medication is free from side effects be it herbal, synthetic or combination of the two. Someone somewhere will have had a problem. You've only got to looks the the pages of side effects listed in every medication box.
@ Hopeforthebest
How would I know they weren't using alibaba powder?
"Little Green Pharma is leading the Australian medicinal cannabis industry with Australia’s first locally produced product available now for approved patients. We are the only company in Australia with locally-grown products that have passed all the mandatory and rigorous testing required. Our products are natural and pesticide-free."
I'd be willing to trust them. That took all of 5 seconds to Google.
I'd rather try CBD than some of the drugs that are given for pain.
Ones I won't try again, Amitriptyline, Gabapentin, Pregablin and finally Duloxetine - farkin awful drugs. Duloxetine has been the worse so far, and I'm still suffering bad side effects nearly two months after stopping (after trailing off). It helped with my back pain, but side effects were, no appetite - massive weight loss/unable to ride as not eaten, really bad tinnitus (I have it already but it was like turned to 10 and it's still bothering me), nerve twitches, unable to sleep, dizzy and feeling sick, problems 'getting it up', unable to go to the toilet etc etc.). Terrible stuff.
I can't even get a regular prescription for codeine - I'm just allowed etoricoxib, which is a long acting anti-inflamatory, and whilst OK on the stomach, there are some potential 'nasties' lurking with risk or heart attack and stroke being high on the list, given I'm on the highest 'sustainable' dose.
These 'legal' options are quite horrible, so I'm choosing to live in pain (broken spine 3 years ago caused by a 'blind' driver).
(broken spine 3 years ago caused by a ‘blind’ driver).
Horrendous mate, best of luck.
My good lady is an Opthalmic nurse, folk coming in for procedures on their eyes, most of them have shit eyesight even before they get needles stuck into them, you wouldn't believe the amount of them that drive there and back, and staff are powerless, the onus is on the driver to put hands up.
Crazy.
Driver wasn't 'blind' just couldn't be ar$ed to look - turned right across my path, in daylight, despite 3 front lights (2 x Hope 1 and a C&B Seen City Slicker on 'Pulse'. Back is still very painful, but I'm doing my best with stretches and keeping it moving.
Does efficacy factor into QA or are you just looking at the quality of the product
Aphex, efficacy is based on two things - clinical trials that demonstrate statistically significant clinical effect - secondly without quality, efficacy that has been demonstrated in clinical trials can be compromised, so that is something we look at. I am on the manufacturing side, GCP QA are involved with the clinical trials side.
If you are going to do this, please see if you can get any kind of paper trail from them, as long as the starting material has been washed pesticides that are designed for food production wouldn't worry me too much for something that is taken orally - ask them about their manufacturing practice instead, do they send off random batch samples to reputable QC labs for analysis - if so can you see the paperwork? Remember that the process used during manufacturing can lead to contamination of a batch.
If I was you, I'd rather just grow weed at home and get high. It sucks that there aren't more reputable options open to you guys, I do think that the market and government regulation is slowly responding to the demand though.
I've seen a fair amount of stupidity in my relatively short time in QA and that is in an industry that is so heavily regulated that the FDA pay us random visits and treat us like criminals or guilty until proven innocent, so I hate to think what goes on without that kind of oversight.
Aphex - derp. You can't buy any of Little Green Pharma's products in the UK because they're too high in THC. It's not the low-THC CBD oil that's been discussed on this thread. Understanding that took all of five seconds too...
hopeforthebest - derp, as previously mentioned, I'm not in the UK, I'm in Australia.

Another poor night's sleep, an extremely [i]Dry mouth – [/i][s] no, will see[/s] and throat. Woke up around midnight completely unable to swallow.
Waste of money, won't be touching it again.
It usually takes weeks for it to work so I think you’re probably expecting a bit much.
True, however, it tastes vile (smokers might not notice), the 2 times I've used it I've actually slept worse and I can just take a Nytol without any side effects. Why would I keep trying just in case it starts to help (apart from having spent the money on it)?
Why does it taste like an ashtray? Did you pick a manky ashtray flavour?
It takes days/weeks to build up from what I have read, so using it twice and declaring it rubbish isn't exactly conducive to a fair trial.
Aphex - derp derp - you still can't buy any of their products! They're prescription only. And they're still not the CBD oil that's being discussed here - they're too high in THC.
By referring to a prescription-only drug in a heavily regulated market, without realising it, you've actually proved the point being made by others on here: properly manufactured medical products will have a traceable supply chain. The vast majority of CBD oil that's being sold in "health shops" doesn't.

Look you! It tastes like an ashtray, I guess because it's a mixture of cannabis oil and olive oil and together they taste like ashtray!
And! I didn't declare it "rubbish". It was a [i]waste of money[/i] for me, because I'm not prepared to go through the downsides I've experienced so far to give it a fair trial.
I'm not saying it won't work for other people or that they won't enjoy the feeling of licking a pub garden table, just giving my experience with it.
OK?!

Also - from a trained medical professional - wrong, drug doesn't stay in the system, so will be instant or nothing. Ha!

It was just the first one that came up in my Google search bud, never said that was the one I was going for, merely an example. If I need a script, I'll get one. Not sure why you think I can't buy that particular brand, if I wanted it but do appreciate your input.
Anybody know if this will help with sleep? Suffered for years with shit sleep, anxiety etc. Docs have always recommended commercial over the counter stuff but i become immune to it after a while so it stops working.
What sort of strength would be needed?
Read the 2nd post.
There was an interview on the radio t'other day with a doctor who has done proper medical trials in the UK with CBD oil.His verdict...there are benefits with few side effects for anxiety,sleep and arthritis IIRC but the over the counter stuff is too weak compared to the proper stuff they trialled at comparatively high, measured, unadulterated doses.Here's a link to a totally unrelated item 🙂

Has anyone tried the CBD oil in the link below and if so what are your thoughts? It gets a very good review on Google but are there better options?
Thanks
Just caught up with this thread, no one seems to have mentioned the modern godfather of cannabis oil, Rick Simpson. His web site is pretty much the oracle on all things relating to cannabis oil in medicinal form.
Incidentally, he’s Canadian and lives in exile due to his practices, I wonder if he is now allowed back?

Try these guys. George Kruis and Dominic Day set the company up. Regualr starters in Saracens scrum, and International players. 6 Nations, World Cup and all that. They seem to know what they are talking about, and with the drug testing they have to go through their stuff should be OK.
I tried CBD oil drops some time ago to help with arthritis pain in my knee (now replaced) . Can't remember the brand or strength, but it was a strong one and I took a bit more than the full dose for about 2 months. Cost a fortune and did nothing for me despite me being desperate for it too work.
Also did nothing for my wrist pain (arthritis and old break) but an annual shot of cortisone in it has worked wonders for 6 months before it starts wearing off. Get it around easter for a easier summers cycling.
Just dont smoke the bloody stuff, had two lads put it in their vape over the last few weeks, fainted straight away and suffered head injuries on the way down. The ramblings from what was going on when they were "out" dont sound like fun.
How's everyone getting on with their Ganga Juice then?
I'd forgotten about this, but my wrist is killing me today so I'm back on it.
Seems to me the sale of CBD oil is a bit shady at the moment as every man and his dog tries to jump on the bandwagon!
Who knew you needed a calculator to work it all out!
Seems that LoveCBD £18 oil is around 1.5%, if everyone is after 10% that seems a bit of a waste of time to me?
Also, like booze I assume if you take twice the dose of 5% stuff you'll get the same effect of taking a dose of 10%?
After much Googling and frankly trying to find some shady high-THC supplier who'll ship to the UK I've rightly or wrongly settled on Celtic Winds from Lloyds pharmacy, because we'll I'm Welsh so "Celtic" sounds good and I suspect Lloyds would be far more wary of being sued / getting bad PR than some quickly knocked up WordPress website without a physical address.
(also, it's currently 50% off) which leads me to another thing, there's discount codes for CBD oil around in a lot of places that leads me to think as the market grows, prices are falling which has to be good news. After all, there's no real practical reason why it should cost more than Sunflower oil to produce (currently £1.30 a litre in my local supermarket for 100%) other than the whole legality issues. There are already massive legal cannabis fields in the UK, it's all high CBD low THC stuff for hemp production (Farmer said you'd need to smoke a joint the size of a telegraph pole to get high apparently)

Possibly, I’ve got a bit of a thick head this morning after watching the Rugby yesterday.
But, forgot the illicit nature of the plant - we already grow Hemp/Canabis in the UK for loads of non-drug reasons. I’ve just discovered that the UK is actually the worlds largest grower of legal Cannabis
There are strains of Cannabis (I’ve read) that produce little or no THC, there’s fields of the stuff in the UK, no special tents or lights, just grow it like any other crop. Okay it might not yield as much oil per tonne as Sunflowers or whatever, but with one crop they can sell litre of the stuff for £1.30 and the other they’re selling 300mg for £30.
That’s a big difference over ‘regulation’.
Just caught up with this thread, no one seems to have mentioned the modern godfather of cannabis oil, Rick Simpson. His web site is pretty much the oracle on all things relating to cannabis oil in medicinal form.
A friend approaching end stage cancer has been following Simpson and imported some fairly expensive seeds from the Netherlands. Unfortunately, despite much care and attention, they failed to thrive in their greenhouse.
There's a few folk in my Lyme group that use CBD oil, some are paying around £150 per bottle. It's something that I may try as the pain I'm in from Lyme and another condition sometimes reduces me to tears as well and affects my sleep too.
I've not managed to get my arse in gear and get any yet either. Any my wrist still hurts! I've not been back to muay thai for a couple of months. Tried a few sessions on the bag at home and it's still giving me $hit. Even got work to supply a mouse pad with a padded bit for my wrist which helps a little.
Seems to be the inch or so on the outside of my left wrist just above my watch bracelet (and no, it's not too tight!). Will get back to the docs and see what she suggests. Wonder if it's carpal tunnel or something arthritic based?
How does CBD oil help tackle inflammation?
Works on CB1 and CB2 endocannabinoid receptors to reduce pain and inflammation.
