A Controlled Release Cannabis Pill or a "CRCP" is an oral medication that releases cannabis in the body over time. CRCPs are available as capsules, tablets, and gels. These products provide accurate dosing with less risk of side effects such as dependency on opioids and fatalities from an overdose compared to other medications like fentanyl. CRCPs are used to treat chronic pain, muscle spasms, and nausea.

On the basis of type, the global controlled release cannabis pills market is segmented into high THC capsules, balanced THC/CBD capsules, and high CBD capsules.

High THC Capsules

High THC capsules are the type of capsule with high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive component in marijuana. The amount of THC in these pills varies depending on a person’s preferred level, but they typically range from 50-75%. High THC capsules are typically prescribed for people who have severe chronic pain, nausea, and vomiting, or loss of appetite. They can also be used to alleviate the symptoms associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients.

Balanced THC/CBD Capsules

Balanced THC/CBD capsules are a type of Controlled Release Cannabis Pills. Balance is the keyword in this product, as it can offer therapeutic effects without an overpowering sense of euphoria or anxiety. This makes them more suitable for those who need to function while being medicated rather than using cannabis recreationally. Patients with both high and low levels of CBD have found these pills helpful due to the balance they provide.

High CBD Capsules

High CBD capsules are cannabis pills that contain a high concentration of cannabidiol. They have higher concentrations of the non-psychoactive cannabinoid than THC and this type is used to relieve pain, inflammation, or other conditions without any psychoactive effects. High CBD capsules are often used to treat cancer, epilepsy, and other conditions.

On the basis of application, the global controlled release cannabis pills market is segmented into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, drug stores, and online sales.

Hospital Pharmacies

Retail pharmacies are more likely to carry controlled release cannabis pills because they do not need a prescription. These types of dispensaries may have CBD products and THC, but the former can be sold without restriction in all 50 states and online sales.

Drug Stores

The demand for controlled release cannabis pills in drug stores is increasing, as these pills can be used to treat conditions such as chronic pain and chemotherapy-induced nausea. This is because of the non-psychoactive effect, which enables chronic pain patients to regulate their intake and avoid dependency.
