Medical Cannabis for Fibromyalgia — Switzerland 2026
Fibromyalgia is notoriously treatment-resistant — cannabinoids are one of the few options with real benefit on pain, sleep and fatigue. A fraction of the price for members.
In fibromyalgia, THC:CBD preparations (RCTs Skrabek 2008, van de Donk 2019) improve pain, sleep and quality of life. Endocannabinoid deficit is a plausible mechanism. Typical: Bediol flower or low-dose dronabinol + CBD 25–50 mg. CannabisClub members: 50 CHF flat instead of 190 — free signup.
What the studies show
Skrabek 2008 (RCT): nabilone 0.5–1 mg at night lowers pain VAS and improves sleep.
van de Donk 2019 (RCT, n=20): Bedrocan (THC 22 %) reduces pressure-pain threshold sensitivity; CBD alone no significant effect.
Preparations & dosing
Bediol 6/8 vaporised, 0.05–0.15 g at night. Gentle entry.
Dronabinol 2.5–5 mg twice daily; higher in the evening for sleep.

Does insurance cover cannabis for fibromyalgia?
