Chronic pain is a common symptom associated with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). There are a variety of treatments to relieve this pain, including cannabis. However, not all cannabis products are created equal.
Some are better for treating chronic pain than others.

One of the best cannabis strains for chronic pain is high-CBD, low-THC cannabis. CBD and THC are two different cannabinoids found in marijuana. It's important to choose a product that only contains these two cannabinoids. These products have been shown to have the greatest benefit for people with chronic pain.

It is important to note, however, that there are no guarantees when purchasing high-CBD, low-THC cannabis. Some companies may choose to add additional cannabinoids to their products.
The best way to find the cannabis that works for you is to try different strains and products until you find one that provides relief. You may also want to consult a cannabis specialist who can help you find the right product and dosage.

For Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, oral administration is the best form. The oral route of administration provides immediate relief and allows the patient to take small amounts at a time.
