Compounds responsible for the aroma of cannabis and many other plants may offer a surprising new way to relieve chronic pain. Researchers found that several cannabis-derived terpenes significantly reduced pain in mouse models of fibromyalgia and post-surgical pain, with one terpene, geraniol, showing especially strong effects. Unlike THC, these compounds are not associated with psychoactive effects, making them a potentially attractive alternative for pain treatment.
codeine is an opiate. you’re not allowed to drive on that.
let me literally tell you what my pain management MD told me. “Practice doing the sobriety tests on opioids until you can pass” i think i had the worst doctor.
was his last name zuckerkorn?
i wish i was joking
In UK you can if it doesn’t affect your driving.
and how do you tell if it has? imagine if the standard for alcohol was the same…
If you can drive safely then go ahead but if you’re impaired by too much of anything that you would drive poorly then don’t. I thought this was common sense.
the uk sticks out in the statistics of legal limits for alcohol in europe at 0.8‰ BAC; most countries are at 0.2 with some having a zero-tolerance policy, because it affects people so differently and it’s hard to tell.
Interesting, if other countries have less driving accidents then it may be worth considering lowering our legal limit. That is, if we can actually detect something is affecting them. Unless the driver is already driving erratically then we must presume the effects of any drink or other drugs isn’t affecting them. Mandatory testing or randomly pulling people over to test them would be a gross over-reach. We trust people to change their own break pads, I trust them to know if they can drive on painkillers.
that’s… the standard in all of europe.
By the government? That is sincerly horrifying if so.
interesting take from the country with 95% of europe’s surveillance cameras.
I am here
I take one tablet, if I need to
“Take opioids instead of non-psychoactive cannabinoids for pain” is a wild take my guy
I once had a social worker tell me I should stop smoking weed and get on opiates. I told him he could go fuck himself.
There was an injection of tongue in cheek with the first comment as well, but that seemed to have missed most
There’s a big difference between one Panadeine forte and the opioids you might be thinking of. Sometimes it’s just a paracetamol
…paracetamol is not an opioid.
Correct
i think you may need to do a second pass on your sentence structure, a lot of people seem to be misunderstanding your posts.
They didn’t originally, I was five up at one point. Then the people who hang out in the kitchen came out
To be honest I don’t really care.
