Yall are fuckin wierd lol. I absolutely love cannabis, both recreationally and medically. But if there’s an additional choice to isolate the pain relief aspect without the psychoactive effects of THC, that would be amazing as well. It’s not an either/or choice - there are absolutely use cases for both. Regardless, I’m pretty skeptical that terpenes are any more useful for pain control than essential oils are.
Thing is, this is the strain that’s gonna be legalized if any. So any fun use would still be illegal.
The states in the US that have already legalized weed are not going to let go of that tax revenue anytime soon.
If I’m not wrong, essential oils are rich in terpenes and maybe that’s what makes them useful as a pain treatment.
Sounds shit. Gimme both tx
Because you’re not allowed to feel good with any medical treatment.
No.
Or because plenty of people want medicine without unwanted side effects.
Yah the mental haze isn’t a fun trap to fall into. (young me as source)
On one hand, it sounds like Puritanical bullshit, but on the other hand, I’d like the option.
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.
I’m going to run with a little cynicism.
I live somewhere where cannabis is not legal. There’s pressure, sure, but there’s resistance too.
One of the factors that helped it legalized in western countries like Canada and the US is the notion of health. Pain relief. Treatment for some chronic illnesses.
That’s cool. But imagine a pharmaceutical company isolates those health things.
No need to legalized cannabis anymore.
This stuff supports the anti-lefalisation movement by taking the benefits from it.
Damned if we want to use if recreationally.
What do you think happened to cocaine and heroine? Hell, alcohol some places.
What happened to them? I really don’t know the history behind these hard drugs.
They started as medicines and were concentrated, distilled, and extracted to the point where the medicine it became was deadlier than the cure it provided.
Coca leaves are still consumed medicinally/recreationally in some parts of south america.
Poppy seeds have a whole history of being abused and weaponized through the silk road.
Marijuana has faced a similar story, though without the deaths. This hasn’t stopped governments around the world from conflating the deaths caused by other things with the use of medicines that in no way cause death.
I have to point out that in medicine we use the derivatives from cocaine, novacaine, lidocaine, benzocaine etc as potent short/medium term anaesthetics. Drugs like these make dental extractions for example relatively painless today. Pure cocaine was used previously but was far more toxic to the liver and had a much higher incidence of allergic reaction than its modern derivatives.
And then it gets patented and costs $10,000 a dose.
Because god forbid anyone ever feel a high that doesnt benefit corporate cartels.
I mean, i don’t want to feel high while i try to relieve some pain yk
ITT: a lot of people who don’t suffer from chronic pain.
But like, the buzz cures pain too. Or is no one else dealing with depression?
Depression isn’t real, now back to rowing your oar, slave.
Has science gone too far?
This is so stupid. Just more pointless research to make you look the wrong way. Like Cannabis is this miracle plant that could offer us things we didn’t have access to before.
I love Cannabis, she has been one of my best friends for over 25 years but let’s not kid ourselves. These terpenes aren’t unique to Cannabis, you shouldn’t be getting them from Cannabis, you should be getting them from your food.
Unfortunately the food you are sold is dead and empty. Not only are processed foods stripped of all you actually need to support a healthy body, the fruits and veggies you buy are mostly dead strains that are grown in dead soil. It’s cheaper upfront, but then you have to pay for it in supplements, taxes and hospital bills.
Geraniol: Citronella, rose, lemongrass
Linalool: Lavender, mints, citrus, coriander, basil
Beta-caryophyllene: Black pepper, rosemary, cloves, hops
Alpha-humulene: Sage, hops, ginseng, ginger, mints
Terpenes are the key. Spice up your lives.
Devil weed, everyone involved should be killed and the research burned.
Publically. Bonfire style. In the middle of city square.
Instructions unclear, now someone’s hosting an execution-themed costume party downtown while blasting Childish Gambino Bonfire mashups
I’m… actually OK with this
They made it suck.
They already did this a long time ago, with Marinol, a course of which costed like 20k, while a 50 dollar baggie of weed would better do the job.
Booooringg.
without the high, double blind human trials will be relatively easy. looking forward to that.
Pass.
Call me when they develop weed without pain relief that only gets you high as giraffe balls.
Huh…I’ve always heard “giraffe pussy.” Lol I never thought about it the other way.
It takes 2 giraffes.
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.
