Dabbing rosin is a great way to get a fast-acting, highly concentrated dose of cannabinoids and terpenes For many medical cannabis patients, one of the most powerful advantages of concentrates like rosin is their effectiveness in pain relief. So what are the best strains to use if you’re pressing rosin to help manage pain?

There are several strains that are known to contain an effective blend of cannabinoids and terpenes for pain relief. Below we’ll cover three of them, one primarily THC-dominant, one primarily CBD-dominant, and one with an even blend of the two.

Blackberry Kush

Blackberry Kush is an indica-dominant strain that’s high in THC and provides a heavy, stoney body effect that is known to help with generalized pain. It also expresses a terpene profile that features a sweetness of berries with a fuel-soaked hashish aroma, which comes out clearly in the rosin.

Compared to Blackberry Kush, Harlequin is a much more functional form of pain relief, as it allows users to maintain a clear head combined with a relaxed sedation.

A mix of CBD and THC is a recurring theme in strains that are especially effective in dealing with pain. There are countless strains to experiment with, while taking note of the THC:CBD ratio and unique blend of terpenes. Experimentation over time is the best way to find the strain that’s best for you. 

As cannabis research continues to advance we will undoubtedly have better idea of how cannabis impacts pain and which cannabis genetics are most conducive to pain relief. The industry will also continue to develop strains that are specifically bred for pain relief.
