is marijuana good for arthritis
<|assistant|>
There is no clear answer on whether or not marijuana is effective for treating arthritis. Studies suggest that THC, one of the main active compounds in marijuana, can relieve some of the inflammation and pain of arthritis symptoms. At the same time, smoking marijuana can increase inflammation, which can worsen arthritis symptoms. It is recommended to speak with a doctor before using marijuana for arthritis, as the potential benefits and risks may vary from person to person.
