With the developing understanding that chronic pain is not well managed, and even aggravated by opioid medications, this presentation attempts to explain why many conventional medications aggravate pain, via the mechanism of glial cell activation and central sensitization. With the goal of better pain management, and possibly the avoidance of other neurodegenerative conditions, cannabis and other botanical medicines are explored for their well-documented CNS protection and benefit.
