      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.

            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…

    Can I get the high without the pain relief? I don’t like risking overdose on too many marijuanas

                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

          Codeine can still make people sleepy and sluggish. It’s still an opioid that can lead to dependence and withdrawal. It still has negative GI side effects causing constipation. It’s not a good idea for driving while under the influence. If this can help people in pain without side effect that can cause impairment, why not. Getting high off of cannabis can still be allowed.

            the first time i took Hydrocodone was after I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I slept a full 8 hours, got up, took my next dose, and then proceeded to pass out for ANOTHER full 8 hours. I put two and two together pretty quickly and just decided to deal with the pain.

              You don’t need to argue. You just need to accept that every time you do that you put your life, and the lives of the people around you, in danger. And that’s simply a fact.

                Yeah look I think there might be a difference between one Panadeine forte and hard core opiates that have people nodding off.

                Certainly, it’s a lot better than vaping two caps before driving and nine times out of ten it’s just a paracetamol anyway

              But if you have cannabis without the high, you could use that instead and be safer.

              I’d love to have the option as a medical marijuana user. Not as punishment for having pain, but for having more options.

                  Your parent comment resonated with me, I get that knee jerk reaction about punishing pain. But yeah I can begrudgingly admit that I would use this if it was available for driving and such.

      Idk some people like going to work without pain.

      For me cannabis is an incredibly strong depressant. I can feel suicidal for free with pain, thanks.

    I miss my MJ, but it fucks with my heart so it’s a no go for me. It was critical to my recovery after a head on collision and the after effects. Doc was prescribing dilaudid, and that shit is something like sythentic heroin and his nurse i calling like every week to find out why i never filled the rx.

    Nooo thanks. I hope this proves to be viable.

      It’s a nice way of saying:

      We gave mice _____ to see if we could cure them of ____!

      https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8621025/

      Explains it more in depth:

      Understanding and treating human diseases requires thorough knowledge of disease-causing molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms. Despite the recent advances in induced pluripotent stem cell techniques, many of these aspects remain challenging to study, especially under physiological conditions in patient-derived material [1,2]. In order to be reliable and valuable, the disease model should recapitulate if not the entire human disease phenotype, then at least the key features of each specific disease under study [3]. For precision medicine, a good understanding of the genetic bases of variation in phenotypes and their interaction with the environment in health and disease are required [4,5]. Thus, animal models, and especially genetically modified (GM) mice, offer great potential to serve as precious preclinical models that facilitate basic understanding of disease pathomechanisms and provide clues for the development of treatment options and novel strategies to follow a treatment’s response.
