Various researches have been done on people with Fibromyalgia and the effectiveness of medical marijuana. Many reported their symptoms lessened and they were able to get back into routines as their quality of life greatly improved.

Various studies have explored the implications of cannabis in the management of pain. Studies have proven that there are valuable analgesic properties with cannabis use. Medical marijuana is ideally suited as a component of a pain management strategy as it does not lead to harmful interactions with conventional pharmaceuticals used in pain management.
With respect to Fibromyalgia patients cannabis has demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pain and stiffness, as well as enhanced relaxation and increased feelings of well being. The anti-inflammatory properties of certain cannabinoids may be responsible for the down regulation of imbalanced inflammatory pathways associated with the pain of Fibromyalgia.
