The cannabis industry is growing, and studies are showing that this super-plant can help to cure a multitude of aches and pains, from the relief of irritable bowel syndrome to minimizing pain caused by fibromyalgia. Of course, not all users want to use smoking marijuana in order to get that relief. Fortunately, now there’s a pleasant solution that will benefit everyone: marijuana-infused chewing gum.

The active ingredient in marijuana, CBD, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, which means that you won’t get “high”, but you’ll still receive the pain relief from the CBD. How does it work? Peripheral nerves in the body are what detect pain sensations, and cannabinoids have been proven to block peripheral nerve pain, both chronic and acute, leaving you feeling happy and pain-free.

Axim Biotechnologies has created a chewing gum containing CBD called MedChewRx and is currently conducting medical trials. It’s set to be released in 2018. It will be the first official medical cannabis chewing gum, approved by the FDA[2]. Soon the gum will be sold in dispensaries, so you won’t need to wait long for that sweet, sweet relief.

Marijuana has been used to treat those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, with symptoms like chronic cramping, bloating, abdominal pain, and constipation[3]. For them, news of this new product is life-changing, and there are many more chronic pains that can be relieved with new mint-flavored gum.
