// Definition
The use of cannabis and cannabis concentrates to manage Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic neurological condition causing severe, persistent pain typically in a limb. CRPS patients have reported significant pain relief and reduced dependence on pharmaceutical opioids and benzodiazepines through cannabis therapy.
// From the Episode
Special guest Preston shared his CRPS patient story in Ep 052. He broke his arm at age 12 and was subsequently diagnosed with CRPS. He was placed on opiates and benzodiazepines and later became a patient at Harborside Health Center before moving to Colorado. His testimony illustrated how cannabis, particularly concentrates, provided pain management that allowed him to reduce pharmaceutical dependency. The panel discussed diet and cannabinoid ratios specifically for CRPS patients.
