Which Marijuana Strain is Best for Migraines 2019?
Most of us suffer every now or then from a headache, but when a migraine attacks, it's an entirely different ball game.

It can completely wreck your day, disabling you from doing anything.
Sure, migraines won't kill you. Instead, they'll just torture you enough to wish they did. According to some migraine sufferers, "A migraine has a life of its own." - The only problem is that it takes your life along for the ride.
Migraines and Marijuana
A recent study found "the active compounds in cannabis are more effective at reducing the frequency of acute migraine pain than prescription migraine meds." The results of the study go on to add that the marijuana even had fewer side effects.
How marijuana helps headaches?
It comes down to the two areas cannabis continuously seems to effectively help: inflammation and the endocannabinoid system.
Your ECS acts as your network of receptors for the active chemical compounds in cannabis. This means your body has a system to receive the two major compounds found in marijuana: THC and CBD. These compounds work together (as well as separately if you want CBD without the psychoactive effects) to regulate pain and inflammation.
Most notably, marijuana is less risky than prescriptions or strong pain meds, leading to less likeliness to opioid addictions.
