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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
