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.

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.

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

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago

Sounds shit. Gimme both tx

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 45 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

No.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 122 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or because plenty of people want medicine without unwanted side effects.

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

[–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 7 points 1 day ago

Depression isn't real, now back to rowing your oar, slave.

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

[–] Captain_Patchy@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

Of course they did, god forbid anyone should have any fun. Fucking puritans.

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.
