Cannabis for chronic pain… shouldn’t be a pain
According to a 2021 survey of nearly 20,000 people, pain relief is the #1 consumer-reported reason for cannabis use. If you suffer from chronic pain and are curious about cannabis, ask your doctor or dispensary about CANNACEUTICA.
Why CANNACEUTICA
Cannabis has been used for thousands (yes, thousands) of years. Despite all the ancient and emerging evidence, there aren’t clear guidelines on what to take, or how much to take.
That’s where CANNACEUTICA comes in. CANNACEUTICA is a lab-tested formulation of broad-spectrum cannabis oil in a capsule. Every bottle comes with an Easy Dose Chart that makes it easy for you to find the dose that’s right for you.
It’s cannabis with evidence.
The CANNACEUTICA formulation
The CANNACEUTICA formulation was developed by a team of PhD scientists. Each of the cannabinoids (cannabis ingredients) has been studied in a growing body of evidence in the treatment of chronic pain. Research is also being conducted to understand how these cannabinoids behave synergistically (known as the entourage effect) in pain management.
The four key cannabinoids in CANNACEUTICA
- THC
- CBD
- CBC
- CBG
Our capsules also contain terpenes, which give plants their distinctive aroma, flavor, and therapeutic effects. The terpenes in CANNACEUTICA are beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, alpha-pinene, linalool, limonene, alpha-bisabolol, and cymene.
CANNACEUTICA is now available. Find it at a dispensary near you.

Possible side effects
Possible side effects of cannabis products containing THC include euphoria (feeling “high”), feeling anxious, dry mouth, sleepiness, weakness, and nausea. If you feel high while finding your daily dose, drink plenty of fluids and take deep breaths to help you relax.
At the next dose, go down to the previous dose that did not cause side effects. Stay there for 3 days. If this dose is working for you, it is your daily dose. If you would like to increase your dose, add 2.5 mg every third day until you find the dose that works for you.
