A recent study found that when treating migraine attacks, a vaporized combination of THC and CBD worked better than THC alone, CBD alone, or a placebo. THC alone helped with pain, but not other symptoms, while CBD alone did not show any benefit. Study participants who used the THC/CBD combination also saw improvements in light and sound sensitivity, but not nausea or vomiting. No serious adverse events were reported. In an interview with MedScape, one researcher noted that people experienced benefits without using higher, recreational doses of cannabis.
