New cannabis medication found effective in treating chronic back pain.

An experimental cannabis-based medication has shown promising results in reducing chronic back pain, according to a new study involving 800 patients. Developed by German drugmaker Vertanical, the treatment provided significant relief without the risks of addiction, withdrawal, or abuse often linked to stronger painkillers. Unlike typical cannabis products, the formula contains only microdoses of THC — the chemical that causes a high — making it a controlled and safe option for patients.
