The University of New Mexico has developed a mobile app to track the impact of several forms of commercially accessible Cannabis flower on users' levels of weariness. Over ninety-one percent of the participants who took Cannabis flower for tiredness relief reported an improvement in their symptoms, according to the study. Smoking the flower in a cigarette or "joint" seemed to provide more relief from symptoms than did inhaling it through a pipe or vaporizer.

Many medical conditions are characterized by exhaustion, however medical cannabis has been demonstrated in multiple studies to enhance energy levels for patients with chronic pain, cancer, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Other studies have shown that people would rather use medical cannabis as a complementary treatment or as a replacement for their conventional pharmaceutical prescription drugs.

The effects of using cannabis to treat fatigue were recently examined by UNM researchers and published in the journal Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids under the title "The Effects of Consuming Cannabis Flower for Treatment of Fatigue." The results of this ...
... first large-scale study reveal that smoking Cannabis buds, often known as flower, can reduce weariness by an average of 3.5 points on a scale from 0 to 10.

Despite the widespread idea that regular cannabis usage might lead to a decline in behavioral activity, goal-pursuit, and competitiveness (what researchers have termed "amotivational syndrome"), most people report feeling more energized right after using the drug.

Data for the study came from 3,922 self-administration sessions of cannabis recorded by 1,224 individuals using the Releaf App, a patented mobile software application with a high rating that is designed to help users record different aspects of the cannabis they purchase and monitor real-time shifts in the severity of their symptoms and the occurrence of any adverse effects. Since cannabis plants vary widely in their chemical compositions, consumers face the constant challenge of locating strain-specific batches of plants. The Releaf App solves this problem by allowing users to keep an electronic diary of session-specific effects, allowing for self-monitoring and self-directed cannabis use.

It is one of the most interesting findings of this study that cannabis, in general, rather than just a subset of products (those with higher THC or CBD levels or those categorized as sativa rather than indica), improved symptoms of exhaustion.

While tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) were not significantly connected with changes in fatigue, the presence of other minor cannabinoids and phytochemicals such terpenes may have a greater impact on the consequences of using cannabis than was previously thought. It is hoped that in the not-too-distant future, patients would have easier access to cannabis products tailored to their personal requirements and preferences, including items with unique chemical profiles.

It's encouraging to learn that cannabis has been shown to be effective in helping people control their weariness and increase their energy levels in studies and real-world settings. Of course, this has consequences for patients who experience weariness as a side effect of their medical condition, but we also believe it can lead to better alternatives to the present energy drink and supplement market.
