People hearing for the first time that Marijuana can help you in pain and injuries do not seem to believe their ears. Cannabis, despite becoming legal in many states of the US, is still linked to getting high and enjoying.

But it is possible to consume marijuana and do not get high. It is no special kind of marijuana but the common weed that everyone is anxious about.   It contains pain relieving and anti-anxiety effects which are free of the traditional presumption of this weed.

Sobriety, as defined and popular among masses, means staying free of "mood-altering" substances. And the drug has those effects; this fact many have experienced. The user stays absent from the reality and stays "high."

But cannabis is a medicinal drug also. It has potential benefits for people trying to live sober. The people having suffered from addiction and trying to get sober for the rest of their life can consider medical marijuana for medicinal purposes, reports Rolling Stone.

The past ten years had been a decade of great events in the history of cannabis. New researches and studies have helped to bring to light the positive side of the drug and this has eventually led to the legalization of cannabis.

According to a 2016 Quinnipiac poll, 89% of the US citizens are in favor of medicinal use of marijuana. And almost all of them have the experience of recreational marijuana. But the sober community is not concerned about medical marijuana.

Cannabis has more than 100 extracts and two are the top famous ones:  (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The former is fully free from psychoactive effects and offers pure medicinal benefits. While THC has psychoactive effects but the combination of both is preferred in pain relieving purposes.

CBD provides incredible relief from pain symptoms without any side effects. Children and adults can easily take it for a number of pains and disorders.  

CBD is the better substitute of benzodiazepines widely used for anxiety relief but is highly addictive. CBD is non-addictive, pain relieving, more efficient and non-psychoactive writes Al Chemia Web.

So, marijuana is not only for getting high. The recovery community must take practical steps and join the progressive way of living in real life.
