Scientists found a cannabis compound that relieves pain without the high

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.

      Call me when they develop weed that gives all the pain and none of the relief!

      Let’s spice things up, russian roulette with weed instead of bullets.

      I hate the pain relief/numbing aspect of some strains, it makes me get comfortable in positions that don’t make me feel bad til the nexy day and then I feel bad for a week

      Maybe you and I can go splits. You can have my share of the stone if I can have the pain relief part.

      Ngl that just sounds like my normal weed for years. Originally took it for foot pain after work and it did nothing, but I was high as fuck and didn’t care that much

        that’s kind of how it works though. The first time i took weed I was doing 12 hour shifts in kitchen work, and i noted how it didn’t remove the pain, it just made me stop careing about it.

          Smoke enough of the right kinds, and it will make your skin numb.

          Definitely still couldn’t walk properly because of pain, seems a bit pointless, but that’s just me

            TBF foot/leg pain to a 20 something, is not the same as chronic pain due to an injury, so i’m not discounting you, just voicing my experience.

            also, i was smoking 'mersh not the medical grade stuff, so…
