Pass.

Call me when they develop weed without pain relief that only gets you high as giraffe balls.

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.

Sounds shit. Gimme both tx

Because you’re not allowed to feel good with any medical treatment.

No.

Hey, that's cool! This seems promising for enabling people dealing with chronic pain to have more options for ways to control pain without needing to potentially compromise mental function when they need it. Now to scroll through the comment section to see everyone's completely reasonable and measured takes.

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.

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’d use it, if it were legal and wouldn’t threaten my job. I have no interest in getting high.

And then it gets patented and costs $10,000 a dose.

Because god forbid anyone ever feel a high that doesnt benefit corporate cartels.

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.

But like, the buzz cures pain too. Or is no one else dealing with depression?

They made it suck.

:(

Booooringg.

Devil weed, everyone involved should be killed and the research burned.

My dad his disautonomia so he has to smoke weed in order to cope with the pain from his nervous system.

He'd rather not use pain killers aka morphine aka opiates for risk of getting addicted to those.

Hopefully this compound will help his pain tolerance without giving him the high

without the high, double blind human trials will be relatively easy. looking forward to that.
