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 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

      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.

        so they have these gummy bears with a shitton of capsaican, like 9,000,000 scovilles or something. you’re supposed to chew them for 5 minutes, and they say it’s like getting maced in the mouth. maybe a 6/10 of pain or something, it’s intense but it’s over fast. also you can make it easier with milk, that’d probably drop it down to a 4/10 or something. But 5 minutes and it’s over.

        if you want a pain russian roulette, use those.

      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.
