But today’s hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) products offer relief from multiple kinds of pain. And they do it without the side effects and risk of addiction that often accompany drug-based pain remedies. \n\nPlus, hemp-derived CBD products are available to anyone, anywhere because they contain only trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient that makes cannabis a restricted substance.  \n\nLet’s look at the different kinds of pain, along with five of the newest hemp CBD products for easing aches and pains from a variety of causes.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### How Pain Works\n\nWhen you’re in pain, for whatever reason, the fact that it hurts is all you care about. But your body and brain process pain-related messages differently, depending on what caused the pain in the first place. \n\nNociceptive pain is the pain that you feel after an injury. When an event causes damage to the body’s tissues or bones, local cells release chemicals that activate receptors on nerves, sending messages to the spinal cord and then to the brain.  \n\nBut pain can also arise from damage to the nervous system itself. This kind of pain, called neuropathic pain, happens when the protective insulation around nerves breaks down. This is what happens in conditions like Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and diabetes.  \n\nOther kinds of pain appear to arise from dysfunctions in the nervous system itself, so that pain signals between the nervous system and the brain aren’t processed correctly. This is the case with systemwide, or central pain disorders like fibromyalgia, which appears to have no clear cause.\n\n### CBD Targets Pain Mechanisms \n\nBecause the mechanism of pain signaling can depend on the cause, numerous drugs have been developed to target and interrupt these pain-signaling processes like: \n\n* Opioids\n* Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \n* Analgesics like aspirin and acetaminophen \n\nBut recent research shows—and pain patients who take cannabis agree—that for many kinds of pain, [cannabis can replace or reduce the use of these kinds of drugs](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/news/20180420/can-marijuana-be-the-answer-for-pain), thanks mainly to CBD.\n\nCBD and THC are the most common and abundant of the many compounds contained in the _Cannabis sativa_ plant. And [both CBD and THC can play a role in pain control](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18035205).\n\nBut CBD, which has no psychoactive effects at all, is the key to reducing the inflammatory response that’s at the root of pain signaling, whether from a:\n\n* Sudden injury\n* Headache\n* Chronic neurological disease \n\nStudies reveal that CBD can block inflammatory responses in cells that are activated at the site of a trauma to the body and switch them to an anti-inflammatory mode that reduces the intensity of pain signals sent to the brain. \n\nMore than that though, CBD also affects pain signaling in the central nervous system itself. It does this by increasing the production of [anandamide, a cannabinoid chemical that’s naturally produced by the body](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5a949d06f24d1300077ccb66/eating-anandamide-the-bliss-molecule). Anandamide acts like serotonin and dopamine to promote feelings of relaxation and well-being. \n\nCBD may also boost natural levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits the intense signaling activity that accompanies pain.\n\n### Why Get Your CBD From Hemp?\n\nThere are many varieties of the _Cannabis sativa_ plant. Some are rich in THC, and these are the varieties used to make the products available to people in states with medical marijuana programs and legal recreational cannabis. These products aren’t legal for people outside of these particular states or who aren’t a part of their state’s medical marijuana program.\n\nBut products made from hemp are available to everyone nationwide. This is because hemp has only trace amounts of THC. In fact, any company producing hemp-derived CBD products must have their products and plants tested. And as long as they come in at 0.3% THC or lower, they can be sold to anyone in all 50 states. \n\nThis is wonderful news for folks who live in states where there’s no legal medical or adult-use cannabis. Hemp CBD can also be the best option for those who want to try cannabis, but don’t want to have a psychoactive experience—no matter which state they live in. \n\nThe CBD molecule is the same no matter what kind of _Cannabis sativa_ it comes from, so hemp CBD products have the potential to be as therapeutic as other CBD-rich marijuana products. You just have to take the time to do your research to identify hemp companies that use quality plants, extraction techniques and processing methods.\n\nRELATED: [WHAT IS HEMP CBD?](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/55f6ea9c65393944020d0000/what-is-hemp-cbd) \n\n### 5 Hemp CBD Products That Can Ease Your Aches & Pains\n\nAnd like cannabis CBD, hemp CBD acts on multiple pain-signaling processes to provide relief from a wide range of aches and pains.

With little or no THC to trigger legal concerns, CBD hemp products make the pain-relieving benefits of CBD available to anyone who wants to combat pain in a natural, non-addictive way.\n\nPhoto credit: [Romina Farias](https://unsplash.com/@rominafa) (main image); [Wildflower](https://www.instagram.com/wildflower_plantsheal/) (product image); [PureRatios](https://www.instagram.com/pureratioscbd/) (product image)\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.5037593984962405,"src":"/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/14b42/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.jpg","srcSet":"/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/f836f/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.jpg 200w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/2244e/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.jpg 400w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/14b42/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.jpg 800w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/47498/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.jpg 1200w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/0e329/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.jpg 1600w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/20896/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.jpg 3480w","srcWebp":"/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/58556/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/61e93/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.webp 200w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/1f5c5/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.webp 400w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/58556/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.webp 800w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/99238/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.webp 1200w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/7c22d/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.webp 1600w,\n/static/1546fcfe7377e2ef11df91844fec914f/1939d/e370399b836383bd11e84195aad33c7c.webp 3480w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Article_2719-markdown","title":"Father’s Day Cannabis Gift Guide","slug":"fathers-day-cannabis-gift-guide","content":"PSA: Father’s Day is on June 17. Does Dad need help sleeping at night? Has he been complaining about an old injury? Does he have a hard time unwinding and getting to bed at night? Consider a marijuana product for Father’s Day. The gift of cannabis can be a unique, high-quality consumable and a curatable experience available in a variety of delivery methods. \n\nThese days, you can find anything from marijuana extracts and cannabis flower to infused edibles and cannabis topicals from lots of different brands. It can be a little confusing. So we’ve previewed dozens of products to create our Father’s Day gift guide that will hopefully help point you in the right direction. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\n### Introduce Dad to Vaping With a Jetty Gold Vape Cartridge\n\n![Jetty Extracts Do-Si-Dos](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-fc6a6b5c-f895-43aa-8b56-978c59f02574/original.png)\n\nExtracted from premium cannabis flowers grown in the Santa Cruz mountains, [Jetty Gold Do-Si-Dos vaporizer cartridge](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5abc15431bb06d0008614084/gold-dos-si-dos) is perfect for the urban mountain man. Rendered by three careful stages of refinement—primary extraction, filtration and polishing, Jetty blends cannabis-derived terpenes are put back into the final product to enhance the extract’s natural flavor. \n\nEach vape cartridge in Jetty’s new Gold line is marijuana strain-specific, so you can select Dad’s favorite or choose a new experience you know he’ll enjoy. For a traditional high that’s steady and euphoric, we recommend this cartridge featuring the Do-Si-Dos strain. Do-Si-Dos is a great choice if Dad needs some help relaxing and eventually falling asleep. It’s pretty high on the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) meter, clocking in at 86.9%. If the man in your house is a seasoned cannabis veteran, this rugged and stylish vape cartridge may just be his favorite gift. \n\n### If Dad Likes to Smoke Cannabis, Gift Him Premium Cannabis Flower From BeKind\n\n![BeKind Chemdawg Flower](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-2b1ee494-6ab7-4e86-b391-1bad6674c255/original.png)\n\nCombining the mastery of Northern California cannabis cultivators and the technology of nitrogen-sealed packaging, BeKind is offering up some of the freshest marijuana flowers in the state. For Dad, we recommend [BeKind’s Chemdawg flowers](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5af63e661bf83e0007fdd9d1/chemdawg). This strain is a powerful hybrid that [imparts a strong head high and full body relaxation](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7cc81ad520d60009f4f4a7/chemdawg). It’s a great choice for those suffering from:\n\n* PTSD\n* Anxiety\n* Insomnia\n* Chronic pain\n\nThe revolutionary packaging and sealing process uses nitrogen to replace air and moisture, thereby extending the product’s shelf life. It also lessens the possibility of contamination from mold, microorganisms or oxygen. BeKind’s high-quality products prove that guys like flowers, too. \n\n### For the Coffee- & Cannabis-Loving Dad, Go for Kiva’s Cannabis-Infused Espresso Beans\n\n![Kiva Espresso Terra Bites](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-ec590fac-3c43-4fee-8f97-2811deb4264a/original.png)\n\nFor the father that’s on the go, Kiva has whipped up a chocolate confection that blends the magical powers of caffeine and cannabis in one tiny bite. Each resealable package of [Kiva’s Espresso Terra Bites](https://www.hellomd.com/products/5748ac79a7ccb6000800007c/terra-bites-espresso)\ncontains 100 mg of THC distributed equally among 20 micro-roasted Tanzanian coffee beans coated in marijuana-infused dark chocolate. \n\nWith 5 mg of THC in each bean, Kiva’s espresso beans offer a safe entry point for many new marijuana consumers. It’s also perfect if Dad is interested in microdosing or wants to make sure he can tightly control his cannabis dose. Dad will love having this secret weapon in his pocket to discreetly relax and refuel throughout the day. \n\nRELATED: [3 POPULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT CANNABIS & MICRODOSING ANSWERED](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5ab47f4ef24d1300077ccb98/3-popular-questions-about-marijuana-and-microdosing-answered)\n\n### Help Dad Feel His Best With a Cannabis Topical from Pure Ratios\n\n![Pure Ratios 4:1 Patch](https://hellomd-development.s3.amazonaws.com/markdown-image-injector-b2de5011-b3fc-4f1d-b7ee-5e08156a360f/original.png)\n\nFor the apprehensive, athletic or aging dad in the family, wrap up a box of [Pure Ratios 4:1 Topical Patches](https://www.hellomd.com/products/58e41ce35b0b9a181f4f2c47/41-topical-patch). With a high percentage of healing cannabidiol (CBD), these patches were created to alleviate the pain and inflammation of sore muscles and joints. Naturally pure and free of additives, the patches are water resistant and designed to wear for three to four days at a time. \n\nMade from whole-plant, CO2-extracted oil, the Pure Ratios 4:1 Patch provides fast and effective medicine delivery, ensuring the undiluted absorption of cannabinoids directly into the bloodstream. Because of the delivery method and cannabinoid ratio, this patch won’t produce any psychoactive effects for most, though Dad might feel a bit altered if he’s particularly sensitive to THC.\n\nIf an old shoulder injury is giving your dad trouble, he can discreetly sport the patch on his shoulder while at work or playing tennis with his buddies. The gift of good health never goes out of style. \n\nPhoto credit: [Morgan David de Lossy](https://unsplash.com/@morganddl)\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101]( https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56201c206430320006bb0000/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to feel the effects of a cannabis edible, while sublinguals can offer relief in as little as 15 minutes.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nFor folks who want to medicate while on the go, here’s a roundup of marijuana edibles and sublinguals that are compact in size and super discreet.
