Phoenix's active outdoor lifestyle — from hiking Camelback Mountain to desert trail running — means many residents deal with muscle soreness, joint pain, and chronic conditions. Cannabis has become a popular natural alternative to traditional pain medication in the Phoenix metro. For pain relief, indica-dominant strains with high THC and moderate CBD tend to be most effective. Strains rich in the terpene caryophyllene, which has anti-inflammatory properties, are particularly useful. Topical cannabis products — creams, balms, and patches — are also popular for targeted pain relief and are available at most Phoenix dispensaries without psychoactive effects.
