Evidence is limited and largely preclinical. CB2 receptors and CBD show anti-inflammatory activity in the lab and early studies, but robust clinical proof for rheumatoid or osteoarthritis is lacking.

Safety & cautions

Help us build this responsibly

This page reflects the cited published clinical evidence, and it is a work in progress. Areto is committed to expanding and refining it as new research emerges — so it can genuinely help medical patients make informed choices. If you are a clinician, researcher, or patient with peer-reviewed sources to add, email us at genetics@areto.tech.

Areto Genetics is an educational cannabis catalog. Nothing here is medical advice, and no strain is proven to treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Cannabis affects people differently and carries real risks. Talk to a qualified healthcare provider before using cannabis for any condition — especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, an adolescent, taking other medications, or have a heart, liver, or psychiatric condition.
