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.
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 shadowboxing lol. I see orders of magnitude more people complaining about vegans with little to no prompting than I see any vegans saying they are vegan.
I could just be a shit listener, but it’s more often that I find out someone’s vegan by assuming they aren’t and getting corrected by my wife. Or someone.
Seriously though, I understand it can be pretty difficult to maintain a healthy and completely vegan diet. If you’re dedicating yourself to something, you usually talk about it. That’s how our communication works—we talk about the things occupying our attention. You hear similar complaints about all kinds of groups: military, religious, body builders, tech bros, … Calling any one group out for it is to put a negative framing of a natural human tendency onto a minority, which is just cheap. Usually so too, like now, on loosely defined groups that are easier to apply arbitrarily.
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.
Wow…
You are the one who brought up vegens in a conversation about pot. But sure, keep telling that yourself.
Sure buddy.
I bet you’re a riot at parties, huh.
If you’re going to go for the personal attack, could you at least be entertaining with it? This is something a 14 year old would regurgitate 30 years ago.
Oh sorry, I thought I’d try for something a moron would understand. I didn’t want to use too many big words and confuse you.
Next time try lowering the bar to something a moron can actually produce instead of worrying about other people 👍
So you want me to reduce my not-so-complex insult to something a moron would produce so you can think you’re winning an arguing with a moron?
Fuck, you’re smart hey.
Never met someone smoking weed who acts like a militant vegan about it.
