Dr. Ari Greis and Richard Zwicky discussed the efficacy of medical cannabis as an alternative treatment for chronic orthopedic pain, particularly among the aging patient population, and its role in reducing reliance on opioids.
Dr. Greis, a leading clinical voice in the field, shared their experience finding that non-inhalable cannabis products with a mix of cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG, CBN) offer mild to moderate pain relief comparable to opioids for general arthritic pain, and are notably more effective for neuropathic pain. They highlighted a study where half of the medical cannabis users denied intoxication while 80% reported symptom relief, suggesting a therapeutic window without psychoactive side effects.
