Cannabis-based therapeutics have been used historically as an analgesic for various types of pains including chronic, central, peripheral, nociceptive, inflammatory, pathological as well as mental and emotional types.
Mounting evidence is beginning to explain the underlying mechanisms of how modulating components of the endocannabinoid system activates a number of mechanisms involved in realizing effective pain relief.
More than a dozen published papers including 4 clinical trials have directly examined the impact of cannabinoids on cancer-induced pain. All clinical trials conducted on humans suggest a positive therapeutic potential in alleviating cancer pain.
All three cannabis chemotypes (type I=high THC, type II=1:1 balanced CBD & THC, type III=high CBD) may produce analgesic effects in this patient population albeit by different mechanisms thus offering patients a choice about what kind of cannabis experience they wish to have. For instance, those wishing to avoid changes in cognition may wish to utilize a chemotype III (high CBD).
