Ever since, this has brought opportunities for residents to find relief from a long different of different conditions - one of the most prominent being **PTSD** (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).\n\nAround [15 million adults struggle](https://www.ptsd.va.gov/understand/common/common_adults.asp#:~:text=The%20following%20statistics%20are%20based,PTSD%20during%20a%20given%20year) with PTSD every year in the United States alone. However, this is merely a tiny portion compared to those that have gone through a traumatic experience.\n\n[A person with PTSD](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967) is someone who deals with difficulty recovering after experiencing a terrifying event. This condition can last many months or even years, with triggers that bring up trauma memories shared with intense emotional and physical reactions. Symptoms can typically include unwanted memories of the trauma, nightmares, avoiding situations that may cause triggers, anxiety, or a depressed mood.\n\nBut cannabis can help reduce and relieve symptoms of PTSD. So for those [seeking relief in Pennsylvania](https://hellomd.com/get-started/pennsylvania/), look to medical marijuana for some help.\n\n![How to roll a joint](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2022_03_11_at_2_39_15_PM_43e0445151.png)\n \n### Cannabis and PTSD\n\nCannabis contains **cannabidiol** (CBD) and **tetrahydrocannabinol** (THC), both being naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Over the years, it has been studied how cannabis, and specifically CBD and THC, affects those searching for relief for symptoms related to PSTD. \n\nIn 2014, a study was published in the [Journal of Psychoactive Drugs](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24830188/). They examined the efficacy of medical marijuana in reducing symptoms of PTSD. The results found that patients with PTSD experienced a 75 percent decrease in their symptoms upon using medical cannabis.\n\n**So how can marijuana consumption relate to alieving symptoms of PTSD?**\n\n[Studies have shown](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6319597/) that consuming cannabinoids, such as CBD, up the level of joy neurotransmitter — [anandamide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anandamide). Cannabis can also help consumers experience changes in body chemicals that allow their body and nerves to relax.\n\n[Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilyearlenbaugh/2020/09/17/new-research-reveals-why-cannabis-helps-ptsd-sufferers/?sh=6c6f68da179a) magazine reported on two studies that show promise with the treatment of PTSD with medical marijuana, specifically with the cannabinoid THC. The first study concluded that [cannabis reduced activity in a person's amygdala](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32162103/) which is the area of the brain that responds to stress and fear. The second study suggests that [cannabinoids within cannabis could play a role in extinguishing traumatic memories](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32842985/). \n\n![Untitled67.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled67_59b013191e.png)\n\n### The Best Marijuana Products for PTSD in Pennsylvania\n\n[Finding the right marijuana products](https://hellomd.com/articles/how-to-get-a-medical-marijuana-card-online-in-pennsylvania) for PTSD can be challenging.

But in order to find the right treatment, you must first understand that migraines are different for everyone, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. \n\n**Some risk factors associated with migraines include**:\n\n- Gender — Women have migraines three times more often than men.\n- Age — Usually, people start experiencing migraines between ages 10 and 40. \n- Genetics — Four out of five people with migraines have other family members who get them.\n- Other medical conditions — Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and sleep disorders increase risk of migraine.\n\nWhile migraine is a common condition, it’s causes are still not well understood, meaning there are other risk factors that may be unknown. \n\n![Untitled42-min.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled42_min_c89b55c099.png)\n\n### What are Migraines\n\nA [migraine](https://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/migraines-headaches-migraines) is a common neurological disease that causes a variety of symptoms. The most notable of symptoms is a throbbing, pulsing headache. Migraines are different for everyone. In many people, they happen in stages. \n\n### **Prodrome**\n\nA common stage that happens hours or days before a migraine is a prodrome. Symptoms include light sensitivity, fatigue, mood changes, severe thirst, and bloating. About 60% of migraine sufferers experience this. \n\n### **Aura**\n\nThe Aura stage of a migraine usually starts gradually and lasts for under an hour. These symptoms mostly affect vision and include things like tunnel vision, seeing black dots, ringing in the ears, and tingling in the body. \n\n### **Migraine Attack**\n\nThe dreaded [migraine attack](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/migraine-headache/symptoms-causes/syc-20360201) typically lasts around 4 hours and is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Symptoms can be exacerbated by physical activity and the pain can move from one side of the head to the other — or be felt across the entire head. \n\n### **Postdrome**\n\nFollowing the migraine attack, a postdrome stage can last around a day. The symptoms usually include a feeling of exhaustion, crankiness, and muscle pain or weakness. \n\n![Untitled43-min.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled43_min_8bdc160193.png)\n\n### How Marijuana Helps with Migraines\n\nExperiencing migraines comes with a long list of painful symptoms. But marijuana has been found to alleviate these ailments. \n\n[Research has been found](https://www.ajmc.com/view/prolonged-medical-cannabis-use-reduces-migraine-frequency-study-finds) that cannabis can reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. In the study, researchers explained that “Mechanistically, endocannabinoids have been shown to have an inhibitory effect on serotonin receptors in vivo, which is shown to modulate pain and emetic responses.”\n\nBoth CBD and THC [have pain-relieving properties](https://hellomd.com/articles/studies-support-cannabis-as-an-effective-painkiller). As this is the most prevalent symptom associated with migraines, it’s a great option for quick relief. Marijuana also [helps with nausea](https://hellomd.com/articles/5-marijuana-strains-to-ease-nausea) which often goes hand-in-hand with migraine headaches. \n\nAny form of cannabis can play a part in reducing or eliminating migraines. While some consumers consider inhalants like vapes or flower to be faster acting, others prefer edibles because they have been found to last much longer. Either way, it’s a viable alternative to many painkillers and over-the-counter medications that often leave you sicker than you started out. \n\n### Cannabis Products for Migraines in Pennsylvania\n\nWhen looking for a great cannabis product for migraines, be sure to consult with a practitioner for additional insight before coming to any decisions. At the very least, you can talk with a budtender at the dispensary you’re shopping at as they have a wide variety of knowledge and can help you pick out the perfect marijuana product. \n\n![Untitled8.jpeg](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled8_1bec6e6441.jpeg)\n\n### Terrapin iRest Capsules\n\n[1:1 iRest Capsules]( https://products.beyond-hello.com/products/48746/irest-11-cbd/thc-20pk-terrapin-capsules/) contain equal parts THC and CBD in a fast-acting capsule.

Chronic pain is something that can keep you from doing what you love. Developing good coping strategies and healthy routines can mitigate the effects this condition has on a person’s life.\n\nWhat is chronic pain? It’s an unpleasant sensation, lasting longer than 3 months. The sensation is different for everyone but can produce burning, sharp or dull, and aching throughout the body. The cause can be either an injury or illness. There are many medical options for patients that can help, like over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription drugs. Other treatments include physiotherapy, massage therapy, stress management, meditation, [holistic therapy](https://hellomd.com/articles/holistic-therapies-to-relieve-chronic-pain), and so on.\n\n![Untitled45.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled45_ab14e64274.png)\n\n### Medical Cannabis Overview\n\nPain, nausea and vomiting, spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), sleep disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and other illnesses can all be treated with medical cannabis, according to the [National Library of Medicine](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29325791/#affiliation-1). Many sectors of society are becoming more comfortable with these medicinal compounds, making cannabis consumption mainstream.\n\nThere are several different medicinal properties found in the cannabis plant, including components like cannabinoids, [terpenes, and flavonoids](YouTube). These chemical compounds interact with the endocannabinoid system, activating specific receptors to produce therapeutic effects throughout the body. Cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the two major chemicals present in cannabis. Providing therapeutic benefits for those who suffer from conditions such as chronic pain.\n\nAfter decades of intense crossbreeding, most cannabis cultivars are classified as being hybrid. There are very few strains that are available today that are pure Indica or Sativa. This is something producers and regulators are trying to move away from, teaching consumers to focus more on the cannabinoids and terpenes. Each consumer can have a different experience. This is due to the diversity of compounds in each product as well as individual biology.\n\n![Untitled17.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled17_7a62b89867.png)\n\n### Information For Patients And Caregivers In Pennsylvania: \n\nIndividuals living in Pennsylvania with an approved [medical condition](https://www.health.pa.gov/topics/programs/Medical%20Marijuana/Pages/Patients.aspx), who have been certified by a doctor, can purchase medical cannabis.

There are plenty of services that offer virtual visits, providing patients with an easy and safe method of getting their medical marijuana ID card.

Selecting a product depends on your lifestyle and what outcome or experience you hope to achieve. The formats include a variety of inhaled options like whole flower and vapes, to discrete products like edibles and topicals. Inhaled formats provide immediate, short-term relief and ingestible products provide more long-term effects.\n\n### Pennsylvania’s Top 5 Cannabis Products For Chronic Pain:\n\n![Untitled27.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled27_8423897f05.png)\n\n\n[Bliss Tablets 1:1](https://1906newhighs.com/products/bliss/) (20pk]) with 100mg THC and 100mg CBD (5mg of THC and CBD per tab) by [1906 NEW HIGHS](https://1906newhighs.com/products/bliss/), for $35.00 per tin.\n\n![Untitled39.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled39_4a08acd3d3.png)\n\n### [Rescue Hybrid Tincture](https://www.doctorsolomons.com/products/drops#top)\n\nRescue Hybrid Tincture (15ml per bottle) by Terrapin with 400mg of THC in total, for $55.00 USD. \n\n![Untitled40.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled40_cc8fc6b205.png)\n\n### [1:1 Balance Capsules](https://www.crescolabs.com/brands/)\n\n1:1 Balance Capsules (20pk) from Cresco Labs., has a total of 100mg of THC and 100mg of CBD per bottle for $50.00.\n\n![Untitled41.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled41_a5037b75ac.png)\n\n### [1:1 Topical (4oz) from Organic Remedies](https://organicremediespa.com/our-products/)\n\n1:1 Topical (4oz) from Organic Remedies, which contains 250mg of THC and 250mg of CBD per jar for $55.00 USD.\n\n![Untitled42.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled42_21d0d7dbc0.png)\n\n### Golden Goat Full Spectrum Disposable Vape Pen (300mg) by [Rythm](https://rythm.com/products/vape)\n\nGolden Goat Full Spectrum Disposable Vape Pen (300mg) by Rythm with 77.41% THC for $35.00.\n\n[Find medical marijuana dispensaries in Pennsylvania](https://www.health.pa.gov/topics/Documents/Programs/Medical%20Marijuana/Medical%20Marijuana%20Dispensaries%20in%20Pennsylvania%20with%20Product.pdf).
