Cannabis possesses a complex profile of biologically active compounds that have been studied for their potential role in supporting the body’s regulation of inflammation, pain, and stress responses, among other functions. These effects are thought to arise from interactions with the endocannabinoid system, a regulatory network involved in maintaining physiological balance. In addition to inflammation, research has explored potential benefits related to pain modulation, muscle tension, nausea, appetite regulation, and sleep quality. Importantly, cannabis is not a single compound but a diverse plant whose effects vary based on genetics, chemistry, and individual response. When considered carefully and responsibly, cannabis may serve as a complementary, plant-based option in certain therapeutic contexts, particularly when conventional approaches are limited or poorly tolerated. Ongoing research continues to refine our understanding of where cannabis may be appropriate within evidence-based care.
