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
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.
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!
Not* sure how that's possible because the high is what relieves the pain for me. Not thinking about pain when I'm stoned off my ass.
We'd just have to try it and find out, I guess.
Surely couldn't hurt, especially if it doesn't affect your tolerance for THC. Cause I really need to take a tolerance break, but I need pain relief and sleep more.
What about CBD-based sleep aid gummies?
Unfortunately I've been there, done that. I feel nothing from CBD whatsoever. No pain relief, no appetite, no sleep. Feels like eating a snack
Nope, I need my THC, so it'll be interesting to see how this discovery plays out. Maybe I can finally get the relief I need without worrying about needing t-breaks.
Is it a noose made of hemp
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.

Of course they did, god forbid anyone should have any fun. Fucking puritans.
Ok, but now imagine being in chronic pain and wanting relief without getting high?
That'll be $10,000
Pharma company extracting novel compounds to sell? Ya look at the insulin fiasco?
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
