Muscle relaxation
Muscle relaxation can be described as the experience of muscles their losing rigidity or tenseness while becoming relaxed and comfortable. This effect is particularly useful for those who are currently suffering from muscle spasms, pain, and hyperreflexia.
Muscle relaxation is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as sedation and anxiety suppression. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of depressant compounds, such as various benzodiazepines, GABAergics and opioids. However, it can also occur to a lesser extent under the influence of cannabinoids.
