Chronic pain comes from many sources and affects people in different ways, but it's often tough to treat. \n\nConventional approaches to treating chronic pain range from lifestyle changes and natural remedies to potent prescription pain medications that can become addictive. But many people are finding relief from [chronic pain with cannabis](https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n1942), thanks to its many compounds that work with the body's natural systems for managing pain, stress, and anxiety. Now, [qualified medical marijuana cardholders in Missouri](https://hellomd.com/get-started/missouri/) can choose from a variety of cannabis products designed to relieve chronic pain.\n\n![Untitledval132.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitledval132_e8b079430d.png)\n\n### What Is Chronic Pain?\n\n**Chronic pain** is a general term for a condition that can have [many causes](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4798-chronic-pain). It can include pain that persists after recovery from an injury or surgery or the ongoing pain of chronic health conditions like arthritis. Chronic pain can also arise from stress and trauma that put the nervous system on high alert, leading to painful sensations from tight muscles, digestive issues, and conditions such as migraine or fibromyalgia.\n\nWhatever the cause, chronic pain can compromise a person's ability to work, socialize, or get through the day. Living with pain can impact relationships and interfere with self-care. Chronic pain can affect just about any part of the body, and it can vary from day to day or in response to changing circumstances. Because chronic pain affects everyone differently, treatments also vary widely and can include:\n\n- Physical therapy\n- Talk therapy\n- Wellness approaches like meditation\n- An array of over-the-counter and prescription medications, including highly addictive opioids.  \n\n![Untitled59-min.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitled59_min_bd3e1111c2.png)\n\n### Cannabis Can Relieve Chronic Pain Naturally\n\nAn extensive body of research reveals that [cannabis may be able to relieve chronic pain](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29637590/#:~:text=The%20National%20Academies%20of%20Sciences,sleep%20disturbances%20in%20chronic%20pain.) as effectively as pharmaceuticals, without the risk of addiction and severe side effects. The **cannabis Sativa** plant contains over a hundred [compounds](https://hellomd.com/tag/cannabinoids) and [terpenes](https://hellomd.com/articles/what-are-terpenes-and-what-is-their-effect) that interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, a network of cell receptors found throughout the body and brain that help to maintain [homeostasis, or balance](https://hellomd.com/articles/marijuana-cannabinoids-and-homeostasis-a-balancing-act), among numerous subsystems, including pain signaling.\n\n[Endocannabinoid receptors](https://hellomd.com/articles/what-is-the-endocannabinoid-system) respond to natural cannabinoid substances produced by the body's tissues, and they respond in similar ways to cannabis compounds such as **THC** (delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol) and **CBD** (cannabidiol). In that way, cannabis can help [moderate pain signaling](https://hellomd.com/articles/new-research-proves-marijuana-effectively-controls-chronic-pain) and provide significant relief for chronic pain from a variety of causes. Now, chronic pain sufferers can choose from various ways to consume cannabis for pain relief, from traditional smoking to topical creams that deliver cannabis compounds to endocannabinoid receptors in the skin.\n\n### The 5 Best Cannabis Products for Chronic Pain in Missouri\n\nCannabis [became legal in Missouri](https://www.mpp.org/states/missouri/) for medical use in 2018, so adults can now visit dispensaries throughout the state with [a valid medical card](https://hellomd.com/get-started/missouri/).

It's a natural response to uncertainty and unpleasant circumstances. For many people, anxiety passes once the situation causing it resolves. But for others, anxiety becomes a part of daily life. Common anxiety disorders include:\n\n- Generalized anxiety disorder, characterized by persistent, excessive worry and anticipation of disaster or unpleasant outcomes\n- Panic disorder, which consists of sudden and spontaneous attacks of extreme anxiety\n- Social anxiety, is extreme anxiety about being judged or rejected in social situations\n- Phobias, or severe anxiety reactions about specific things or circumstances such as flying, snakes or blood\n- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a constellation of anxiety-related symptoms that arise after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event\n- Depressive disorders \n- Obsessive-compulsive disorder\n\nAnxiety disorders can also occur along with many other health conditions such as ADHD, migraine, chronic pain, and gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease. Anxiety and stress can also affect anyone diagnosed with a serious or chronic condition like heart disease, cancer, or diabetes.\n\nTreatments for anxiety and anxiety disorders range from lifestyle and diet changes to talk therapy and a variety of prescription anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications. But the compounds in cannabis work with the body's systems to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation without the side effects of common medications.\n\n![Untitledval127.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Untitledval127_49017f6bf1.png)\n\n### Cannabis Can Relieve Anxiety Naturally\n\nRecreational cannabis users have always enjoyed the relaxation and good mood that comes from smoking weed.

Whether you're having a few sleepless nights or a chronic struggle to get the recommended seven-plus hours of steady sleep, insomnia can disrupt daily life and contribute to long-term health issues. Standard treatments for insomnia include holistic remedies, lifestyle changes, and a variety of prescription and over-the-counter sleep medications.\n\n![What does healthy sleep look like?](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_6_12_47_PM_108495d9b6.png)\n\nNow, a growing body of research reveals that cannabis can offer safe and effective relief from insomnia without the side effects of common sleep medications. And today, adults in Missouri with a qualifying medical condition can choose from a variety of quality cannabis products designed to promote a good night's sleep.\n\n### Insomnia is a Common Problem \n\nInsomnia is a broad term that describes a persistent problem with falling asleep or staying asleep. It's one of several recognized sleep disorders, and because it has many causes, it can be difficult to treat. [Common causes of insomnia](https://www.sleepfoundation.org/insomnia/what-causes-insomnia) include:\n\n- Chronic pain\n- Anxiety\n- Depression\n- Medication\n- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)\n- Shift work or other causes of irregular and interrupted sleep schedules\n- Foods and beverages\n- Lifestyle factors - such as distracting surroundings or habits \n\nFor many people, lifestyle changes that promote better conditions for sleep can resolve simple insomnia, and so can adopting healthier routines that include changes in diet and drinking habits. But some of the most common contributors to insomnia may call for other interventions.\n\n![Cannabis can help you sleep better.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_07_01_PM_caace57c88.png)\n\n\nChronic pain from conditions such as arthritis, migraine, and cancer can cause nighttime discomforts that interfere with sleep. Anxiety also contributes to sleeplessness, and it's on the rise thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rates of depression and other mental health issues are rising in the US and worldwide, which can also contribute to disrupted sleep.\n\nPeople with Insomnia can turn to a variety of non-prescription sleep aids or get a prescription for pharmaceuticals. These medications can have side effects that range from dizziness and a \"hungover\" feeling to engaging in sleepwalking and other daytime activities such as driving while under the influence of sleep medication. \n\n![Sweet Chem flower is a relaxing Indica](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_30_at_11_59_48_AM_90d80c94aa.png)\n\nA more natural approach to alleviating sleepless nights is the use of cannabis. The many compounds and terpenes in [cannabis work with the body's regulatory systems](https://hellomd.com/articles/5-sleep-disorders-cannabis-can-help-alleviate) to relieve pain, anxiety, and other issues that may interfere with sleep. Plus, cannabis does not have the same unwanted side effects that other sleep medications are known to create.\n\n### Cannabis: A Natural Sleep Aid\n\nIn addition to helping people sleep better, cannabis has many [science-backed health benefits](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/medical-marijuana-faq). Cannabis contains more than a hundred known cannabinoids that work with the body's endocannabinoid system or ECS. The ECS is an extensive network of cell receptors that respond similarly to the natural cannabinoid chemicals our body produces and those produced by plant sources such as cannabis.\n\n![Vaping cannabis may help you sleep better.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_08_39_PM_7669193817.png)\n\nThe endocannabinoid system plays a significant role in keeping the body's many subsystems in balance and moderating brain pathways related to mood and pain signaling. Cannabis cannabinoids such as THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), along with many other compounds and terpenes, affect ECS receptors throughout the body and brain to provide pain relief and promote feelings of calm and relaxation. In that way, cannabis [can make it easier to get and stay asleep](https://hellomd.com/articles/finding-relief-from-insomnia-with-cannabis) without the risks and side effects of popular sleep aids.  \n\n![Your cannabis can contain THC which can turn into CBN over time.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_6_29_36_PM_05e85fb683.png)\n\nCannabis products for sleep come in various forms for smoking, vaping, or consuming, so there's an option for everyone in Missouri with a valid medical cannabis card.\n\n### Medical Cannabis is Legal in Missouri\n\nCannabis [became legal in Missouri](https://www.mpp.org/states/missouri/) for medical use in 2018, so adults can now visit dispensaries throughout the state with a valid medical card.
