Arthritis is a widespread condition that causes inflammation in the joints or tendons, leading to severe pain and limited mobility. Although there is currently no cure, treatments such as physiotherapy, painkillers, and NSAIDs are commonly used to manage symptoms. In recent years, however, medical cannabis has gained popularity among UK patients for its effectiveness in reducing pain and inflammation.

When used to manage arthritis symptoms, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, THC, binds to receptors in the brain to reduce the perception of pain, while its counterpart, CBD, helps regulate inflammation, decrease swelling, and may slow the cartilage deterioration linked to the disease.
