Cannabis as Effective as Ibuprofen for Chronic Pain, OHSU Study Finds

A review led by OHSU found that some cannabis products, particularly those containing THC, can slightly reduce chronic pain, similar to traditional painkillers like ibuprofen, but the effect is small and may come with side effects. CBD alone showed little to no impact on pain, and the findings suggest caution in using cannabis for pain management, emphasizing the need for further research and personalized medical advice.
