Although research continues, it is believed that an abnormal response to certain stress-generating factors can trigger these types of conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, lower levels of serotonin have been detected in the nervous system of people with fibromyalgia, which could<\/span><b> explain problems with pain regulation.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cannabis_and_fibromyalgia\"><\/span><b>Cannabis and fibromyalgia<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been various studies on the relationship between cannabis and fibromyalgia.

Nevertheless, statistics show that <\/span><b>varieties with a significant THC content<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are more effective than those with CBD, preferably Indica-dominant varieties.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Effects_of_cannabis_on_fibromyalgia\"><\/span><b>Effects of cannabis on fibromyalgia<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The different cannabinoids in marijuana plants interact with the body&#8217;s Endocannabinoid System, which regulates functions such as sleep and pain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, the <\/span><b>anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, and antidepressant properties<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of certain cannabinoids like CBD, CBN, CBG, and THC make it perfect for this type of condition. Besides, terpenes offer some sedative potential, helping reduce inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, it can be <\/span><b>very effective in treating fibromyalgia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, improving the quality of life for those who suffer from it.
