What symptoms can Cannabis relieve?

Although Tetrahydrocannabinol or “THC” is the most known of the compounds in marijuana, at least 66 cannabinoids have been isolated from this plant. The effects of most of these compounds is still unknown and it is widely believed that it is the combination of these chemicals which creates the diverse range of medical benefits including, but not limited to, pain relief.

The effects of marijuana based drugs on fibromyalgia has been studied a few times, showing a marked reduction in pain.

    do the plants differ in what helps to releave pains due to the natual chemicals in the plant itself,as some being strong then others.or is it all about the thc level.are there any other chemical benefits from the plant.
