Why use cannabis?
There are different ways to consume cannabis, smoking the plant is just one of them.
Different types of extraction processes result in oils, tinctures and isolated elements, which are processed to develop high quality medicines with specific concentrations and doses, following clinical guidelines and scientific evidence derived from multiple studies conducted by universities and medical institutions in different countries over the last 10 years.
One of the most studied properties of cannabis is its effect in terms of pain interpretation, potentially representing a cheaper and less toxic alternative to traditional opioid-derived medications.
