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.
This industry relies on innuendo and bots to fill comments on Reddit, anything but actual clinical trials with placebo controls. Same thing with terpene sleep aids.
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.
Hey welcome to the internet friend, I hope you enjoy your first day!
Sounds shit. Gimme both tx
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.
I’d use it, if it were legal and wouldn’t threaten my job. I have no interest in getting high.
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.
Weed smells like pine trees because they both have the chemical in this “study”.

It’s way easier and basically free if you have any sort of access to a pine tree.
Which is why no one pays for studies about that method.
who told you weed smells like pine? am i the only one who thinks that’s crazy?
If you haven’t noticed, there’s a shit kind of different weeds.
That is mainly due to varying terepens.
Some weed, smells like pine tree to various degrees.
neat thanks
You know some people can’t smell pine?
Because god forbid anyone ever feel a high that doesnt benefit corporate cartels.
And then it gets patented and costs $10,000 a dose.
Currently happening with kratom and psylocibin as well.
Yeah, the most legit meds come from a gas station.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. There are multiple patents pending on modified kratom alkaloids.

I’ve read about others but that was the first one I came across in development.
Psilocin pro-drugs are another category with multiple patents pending, Mindset Pharma holding a few.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSP-1014?wprov=sfla1
Here is another patented by Reunion Neuroscience.
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.
Slam it to the left if you’re havin’ a good time, shake it to the right If ya know that you feel fine
Chicas to the front! Ha! Ha!
Man, I always thought that line was a reference to 90’s sci fi show Space above and beyond…
But like, the buzz cures pain too. Or is no one else dealing with depression?
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
:(
Devil weed, everyone involved should be killed and the research burned.
That’s why they are finding out about this now and not 1950. Witch hunts are so great, everyone benefits (not).
Gettingbhigh is very important to me, and I stand by my statement.
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
Dunno. Sounds they were clear enough
without the high, double blind human trials will be relatively easy. looking forward to that.
Is it a noose made of hemp
