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.
Well where’s there fun in that!?
Your comment may be read as serious or jocose, and both work.
My serious thought is that if I’m fucked, I might as well use any means at my disposal to lessen my suffering.
