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.

      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.

          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…
