Researchers at The University of New Mexico have found that cannabis flower can effectively reduce fatigue.
Their study, published in Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids, provides new insights into how cannabis may help people struggling with low energy, particularly those with chronic illnesses.
The study, led by Jacob Miguel Vigil, found that over 91% of users reported feeling less fatigued after using cannabis. On average, participants experienced a 3.5-point improvement on a 0–10 fatigue scale.
Among the different methods of consumption, smoking cannabis in the form of joints provided the most relief, compared to using pipes or vaporizers.
However, the researchers found that cannabis reduced fatigue across different product types, regardless of whether they contained higher levels of THC or CBD.
People with conditions such as chronic pain, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis reported increased energy levels after using cannabis. This suggests that cannabis could be an alternative to traditional fatigue treatments, including prescription medications, energy drinks, and supplements.
The study analyzed data from 3,922 cannabis self-administration sessions from 1,224 individuals, using a mobile app to track real-time effects. The findings highlight the potential of cannabis as a natural option for managing fatigue and improving energy levels.
While the results are promising, researchers believe further studies are needed to explore how cannabis could be used in medical treatments and commercial health products. This study adds to growing evidence that cannabis may have benefits beyond pain relief, offering a possible solution for those struggling with persistent fatigue.
