Hey, that’s cool! This seems promising for enabling people dealing with chronic pain to have more options for ways to control pain without needing to potentially compromise mental function when they need it. Now to scroll through the comment section to see everyone’s completely reasonable and measured takes.
I love as this news spread, all the “but i need it for my pain/depression/etc/etc!, its the only thing that helps!” types are now just straight up basically saying they don’t give a fuck about anything it does but the high.
I knew this was gonna happen.
Just like I know the type of responses I’m gonna get from the outed potheads and addicts.
Yeah… Maybe they like getting high too. What’s the problem? The only issue I see with cannabis is that people smoke it.
Potheads and addicts? Holy shit, is it still 1990 and you’ve got some weird fucking prejudice against how other people choose to spend their time or how they medicate themselves? Oh boy…

You invite the circus when you put the clown mask on.

I dont care what you do in your own home.
But potheads, like vegans, cant just contain it to their own home and shut up about it. They gotta make sure everyone, everywhere, in every fucking conversation, knows about what they do.
And for the longest time, they all tried to hide behind pot being the magical medicine that cured all woes, and now we have science actually isolating beneficial components without hte high, and the overwhelming response is “NO, I DONT WANT THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS, I WANT THE HIGH”, which is exactly what addicts would say.
You are the one who brought up vegens in a conversation about pot. But sure, keep telling that yourself.
What kind of naïve person makes grandiose claims of others, while also unfairly aggregating them to the grouping of your own subjective, unflattering, and inaccurate images of them? You’re basically inventing these people, potheads and vegan, to make a dumb point about how some people like to talk about their personal choices a lot. Whoopty doo, you dweeb.
You know what’s funny? Aside from the fact that I’m mentioning it now, I consume a grotesque volume of cannabis. Truly grotesque, I promise more than whatever you’re thinking. I don’t bring it up, though, ever. Why? Because I’m an actual human being, as opposed to whatever fantasy you’ve got going on up there.

No it’s not. Please, for the love of god, do good research and get that stuff. That’s great for children, people who don’t want to be high, and people who can’t be high (e.g., on the clock) but still need the medicine.
I still want to get high, though. There’s nothing wrong with that. The issue is with you, if you have a problem with that.
sure buddy.
Well, at least your username checks out…
Sure buddy.
Never met someone smoking weed who acts like a militant vegan about it.
Used one without the high. Worked beautifully. Too expensive in the long run. But really appreciated it. Dont want the high at all. It had no side effects. Just gentle pain relief. Bliss.
@Timonesaysno I love the high from cannabis, but that doesn’t mean that I want it necessarily in all situations. Like for instance, on Friday night I randomly got nauseous, and the only thing I had was my THC vape. Well, I didn’t care, because we were having fun anyway, I may not have been able to get away with that is easily outside of a chill situation, such as a softball game, which is where I was last night.
Rage bait.
If I’m in chronic pain then I’m going to want to be high too. Nothing wrong with being high in your own house.
-I don’t even like weed. The high just feels like taking benedryl to me.
It would be better to have both as an option.
This is so stupid. Just more pointless research to make you look the wrong way. Like Cannabis is this miracle plant that could offer us things we didn’t have access to before.
I love Cannabis, she has been one of my best friends for over 25 years but let’s not kid ourselves. These terpenes aren’t unique to Cannabis, you shouldn’t be getting them from Cannabis, you should be getting them from your food.
Unfortunately the food you are sold is dead and empty. Not only are processed foods stripped of all you actually need to support a healthy body, the fruits and veggies you buy are mostly dead strains that are grown in dead soil. It’s cheaper upfront, but then you have to pay for it in supplements, taxes and hospital bills.
Geraniol: Citronella, rose, lemongrass
Linalool: Lavender, mints, citrus, coriander, basil
Beta-caryophyllene: Black pepper, rosemary, cloves, hops
Alpha-humulene: Sage, hops, ginseng, ginger, mints
Terpenes are the key. Spice up your lives.
Slam it to the left if you’re havin’ a good time, shake it to the right If ya know that you feel fine
Chicas to the front! Ha! Ha!
Yall are fuckin wierd lol. I absolutely love cannabis, both recreationally and medically. But if there’s an additional choice to isolate the pain relief aspect without the psychoactive effects of THC, that would be amazing as well. It’s not an either/or choice - there are absolutely use cases for both. Regardless, I’m pretty skeptical that terpenes are any more useful for pain control than essential oils are.
This industry relies on innuendo and bots to fill comments on Reddit, anything but actual clinical trials with placebo controls. Same thing with terpene sleep aids.
Thing is, this is strain that’s gonna be legalized if any. So any fun use would still be illegal.
The states in the US that have already legalized weed are not going to let go of that tax revenue anytime soon.
If I’m not wrong, essential oils are rich in terpenes and maybe that’s what makes them useful as a pain treatment.
Essential oils are not useful as pain treatment.
They made it suck.
They already did this a long time ago, with Marinol, a course of which costed like 20k, while a 50 dollar baggie of weed would better do the job.
Because god forbid anyone ever feel a high that doesnt benefit corporate cartels.
I mean, i don’t want to feel high while i try to relieve some pain yk
ITT: a lot of people who don’t suffer from chronic pain.

My dad his disautonomia so he has to smoke weed in order to cope with the pain from his nervous system.
He’d rather not use pain killers aka morphine aka opiates for risk of getting addicted to those.
Hopefully this compound will help his pain tolerance without giving him the high
Pass.
Call me when they develop weed without pain relief that only gets you high as giraffe balls.
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
Huh…I’ve always heard “giraffe pussy.” Lol I never thought about it the other way.
It takes 2 giraffes.
Maybe you and I can go splits. You can have my share of the stone if I can have the pain relief part.
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.
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…
Now that’s the idea.
But like, the buzz cures pain too. Or is no one else dealing with depression?
Depression isn’t real, now back to rowing your oar, slave.
Fuck that.
And then it gets patented and costs $10,000 a dose.
Currently happening with kratom and psylocibin as well.
Yeah, the most legit meds come from a gas station.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. There are multiple patents pending on modified kratom alkaloids.

I’ve read about others but that was the first one I came across in development.
Psilocin pro-drugs are another category with multiple patents pending, Mindset Pharma holding a few.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSP-1014?wprov=sfla1
Here is another patented by Reunion Neuroscience.
:(
Well where’s there fun in that!?
Your comment may be read as serious or jocose, and both work.
My serious thought is that if I’m fucked, I might as well use any means at my disposal to lessen my suffering.
Sounds shit. Gimme both tx
