WHAT can cannabis help with:
-
Pain + Insomnia
Many struggle with chronic pain and insomnia and have difficulty managing these conditions while fulfilling the demanding roles they play in our modern stressful world. Western medicine can often leave individuals feeling misunderstood and with their needs unmet. Cannabis can help manage pain and insomnia while increasing a person’s capacity to manage these roles with energy and ease.
-
PMS + Menopause
95% of women experience PMS symptoms while 85% experience menopause symptoms. Symptoms range from mild to debilitating. Western medicine offers ways to mask these symptoms but they often do not address the root causes. Cannabis can be extremely beneficial in managing these symptoms related to women’s health: pelvic pain, migraines, temperature changes, mood swings, etc.
-
Mental Health
Many individuals are struggling to feel themselves and are facing mental health challenges. This has been exacerbated by rising costs of living and still feeling the effects of the COVID pandemic. Often mental health issues can leave a person feeling alone and unsure of what to do. Cannabis can help with many symptoms related to mental health issues, resulting in a better quality of life.
-
Pills. Pills. Pills.
Sick and tired of taking pills? People often feel like taking medications is their only option. Medications can be useful and definitely have a purpose but are not the be all end all solution. Many come with unwanted side effects or are just. not. working. Cannabis can be an effective alternative or adjunct to help you manage various conditions and symptoms.

ANCIENT MEDICINAL USES
The medicinal uses of cannabis have been documented for over 6000 years to treat many undesirable symptoms and conditions: pain, mood disorders (including anxiety and depression), insomnia, hemorrhage, epilepsy, tumours, wounds, inflammation, migraines, menopause and MANY others.
Nature’s REgulator
The natural chemicals in the cannabis plant (phytocannabinoids) interact directly with the master regulator of the body, the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). When properly nourished, the ECS seeks to achieve homeostasis within nearly all bodily functions; sleep, mood, appetite, pain sensation, digestion, etc. Bringing balance to these functions through cannabis can effectively reduce many unwanted symptoms associated with a variety of illnesses.
MODERN MEDICINAL USES
A recent survey by Health Canada (2022) determined the main reason for individuals turning to medicinal cannabis was a preference for natural treatments and dissatisfaction with the effectiveness or side effects of their current treatments. The survey also identified the primary symptoms and conditions for which people were using cannabis; issues with sleep, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, migraines, and PTSD.
