Why THC may be a powerful ally when seeking relief.
With a high-THC content, these strains are known for their powerful effects.
The commonly held belief is that CBD is the only medicinal component of the cannabis plant, and THC is the recreational component. While THC is responsible for the intoxicating effects of the plant, when used properly (usually in smaller amounts), THC may be beneficial for those suffering from migraines, nausea, or lack of appetite. It can be stimulating and help motivate you to get housework and chores done, and of course can be the perfect thing to help unwind at the end of the day.
While we place a great amount of focus on CBD at The Novel Tree Medical, there are times when we’ll recommend strains and products with a higher THC content if the person is experienced with cannabis and familiar with the effects. As always, we recommend to start low and go slow. With these powerful strains, a little goes a long way.
Here Are 6 Of Our Favorite High THC Strains
AK-47
By Puffin Farms
THC interacts with receptors primarily in the brain and in the gut. We’ve gotten consistent feedback that Sativas with moderate levels of THC, usually 15%-18%, help a lot of people with their migraines. Try AK-47 from Puffin Farms. This slightly stimulating Sativa with just enough THC should hit all the right places to provide relief from migraines.
Cakewalk
