NOT INTENDED AS MEDICAL ADVICE: Wellness recommendations only. Further research is warranted on the benefits of combining low doses of THC with other cannabinoids like CBD. While current studies indicate several therapeutic benefits such as neuroprotection, cardio protection, enhanced pain relief, and improved management of anxiety and mood disorders, more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms, optimize dosages, and confirm long-term safety and efficacy.
