"At this time, we cannot recommend herbal cannabis for arthritis pain management given the lack of efficacy data, potential harm from the drug, and availability of other therapies for managing pain," concludes Dr. Fitzcharles. "Physicians should discourage rheumatology patients from using medical marijuana as a therapy."Rheumatological diseases are autoimmune diseases, mostly to strep bacteria.
The cannabinoid system affects digestion and metabolism.
Smoking weed probably doesn't really affect inflammatory symptoms that much. Dental care and infection control work better.
Cannabis affects energy balance and mood issues. Heals guts, reduces insulin resistance.
So I wouldn't recommend it as rheumatology therapy- but it is better than feeling like crap while doctors continue to give you useless steroids.
