Multiple Sclerosis: Is THC better than CBD for pain control?

On Oct 19, 2020

CBD has many benefits for MS, but pain control may be better with combining 11 hydroxy THC and Delta 9 THC. Of course, some CBD should be added too. B-Myrcene, D-Limonene, and Phytol may also be some of the best terpenes for MS!
