CBD has become a popular alternative for pain relief, and Franny’s Farmacy offers a variety of CBD products to help alleviate different types of pain. Marc Hughes, Pharmacist at Franny’s Farmacy, explains that full-spectrum CBD has anti-inflammatory effects and activates the endocannabinoid system, which releases substances like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine that can potentially relieve pain.
When it comes to treating pain, Hughes suggests identifying the type of pain first. For constant pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia, he recommends taking the tincture twice a day to find the right dosage for pain relief. For occasional pain, Hughes suggests the gummy as a convenient and easy-to-take alternative. For sore joints or muscle aches, the healing lotion or staff can be applied externally for relief. Franny’s Farmacy controls the entire process from hemp growth to product sale, and their customers have reported positive results with their products.

Understanding CBD and Pain Relief
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. It is known for its potential therapeutic benefits, including pain relief. Full-spectrum CBD contains all the compounds found in the cannabis plant, including THC, which is responsible for the psychoactive effects associated with marijuana. However, the amount of THC in full-spectrum CBD is very low, typically less than 0.3%.
CBD has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help with inflammation and pain. When the endocannabinoid system is activated by CBD, substances like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine are released downstream, potentially giving the effect of pain relief from full-spectrum CBD.
When it comes to treating pain, it is important to consider the type of pain being experienced. For constant pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia, a daily dose of CBD is recommended. The tincture is a popular product for this purpose because it can be titrated up to find the optimal dosage. It is suggested to take it twice a day, starting at a low dose and increasing it slowly.
For occasional pain, such as aches or soreness, the gummy is a convenient and easy-to-take alternative. It is suggested to take it as needed.
For localized pain, such as sore joints or muscle aches, the healing lotion or healing staff are recommended. The healing lotion is a smoother option that can be spread out more evenly, while the healing staff sticks to the skin and provides quick relief. These products contain full-spectrum CBD as well as other herbs that help with inflammation and pain.
Franny’s Farmacy offers a wide range of CBD products, including edibles, tinctures, oils, and topicals, to suit different needs. Franny’s controls the process from where the hemp is grown until the product is sold off the shelf, ensuring quality and consistency.
Customers have reported positive experiences with Franny’s products, with some saying they cannot function without their daily tincture and others finding relief from using the healing staff on their knee.
Whether in-store or online, Franny’s Farmacy offers a variety of CBD products to help with pain relief and promote overall health and wellness.
