Using Cannabis Capsules for Pain Relief

Cannabis capsules are ideal for pain relief. The medication is absorbed into the bloodstream through the capsule.

Capsules can also work well for fast-acting relief. If you’re experiencing pain or another condition, such as nausea, that needs to be treated right away, then capsules might be a better option than edible oils and other edibles.

Using Cannabis Capsules for Nausea

Many people turn to cannabis when they’re experiencing nausea and vomiting, especially during chemotherapy. The high doses of anti-nausea medication that people receive can leave them feeling more nauseous than they were before taking the drugs. Although there are many medications on the market for treating nausea (including cannabis), not all of them work as well as others.

The most common routes of administration used today are smoking, vaporizing, oral ingestion ,and sublingual absorption.  What is the best way to get your cannabis? Well, both vaporizing and smoking provide quick delivery of cannabinoids to the bloodstream. This means a fast onset of action.   The problem with this method is that it also delivers harmful hydrocarbons from the combustion process.  Also may leave large amounts of carbon monoxide if not used properly.

Vaping versus Capsules

Vaporizing provides an inhalable mist containing cannabinoid vapors. This allows a patient to dose gradually with a relatively low dosage. This allows you to ease into a comfortable level of medication over time.   Oral ingestion requires longer for activation but allows more precise dosing. It may take 60 to 90 minutes for full effects to be felt when ingesting cannabis orally. Sublingual absorption is also a valid option.  The mucus membranes under the tongue are full of capillaries which are very effective in absorbing cannabinoids.

Cannabis capsules are an excellent delivery system for many reasons. The capsule is discrete, easy to swallow, socially acceptable, and provides accurate dosing.  If you have difficulty swallowing cannabis oil by itself or with food, cannabis capsules could be your answer. If you have nausea, cannabis capsules may allow you to ingest small amounts of cannabinoids at a time until it becomes manageable for your individual needs. Because dosage can be accurately controlled, cannabis capsules provide medical benefits without the risk of over-medicating .

Individuals who use medical marijuana usually fall into one of three camps. They may find the psychoactive effects of cannabis enjoyable. They also use it for symptom management with minimal intoxication. Or quite simply they need a strong sleep aid.  If you are one of these people, oral ingestion is your best option. It provides the quickest relief and longest duration of effects. The downside to this method is that there is generally more material required to achieve desired medical effects due to inefficient absorption in the digestive tract. If you are looking for medical benefits without any “high”, vaporizing may be an option for you as well.

Cannabis Oil FTW!
