Terepenes from weed are pretty much pseudo science, and the furthest this goes is "may be beneficial"...
Chocolate is also beneficial, "beneficial" is a very low bar. It doesn't mean the stuff in them doesn't work, it means it's a very inefficient way to get that stuff. Like drinking expensive wine instead of just eating some grapes.
If you actually want to try terepenes, you do what people across the planet have done for thousands of years and make pine tea. A single pine tree provides limitless fresh ingredients year round and you can get a much higher dose with zero other stuff.
Weeds cool and all, but it's always so stupid when people talk about the expensive chemical way and not the free and natural way.
technically all weed is just weed and really the only difference is the terpenes and maybe the THC versus CBD ratio. I used to think people who said the strains were different were ignorant and just experiencing a placebo effect until I smoked regularly and understood that the effects are indeed completely different and must be influenced by terpenes or other chemicals in the plant, cuz otherwise how are they so different?
and maybe the THC versus CBD ratio.
Bruh, it's not just two, there's a shit ton of different kinds of both main types, and a few others.
That's why "delta 9" and the original "spice" shit started out close to real weed, they used the closest chemicals to the main ones. Then those also got outlawed and they used worse ones, to now where I'd assume it's just bathsalts and kratom.
That's the maine difference.
Unless you're smoking insane amounts of flower, like Willie Nelson levels, terepens are just flavor. And by that point you're too stoned to notice.
Circling back to other methods of terepen consumption.
This is being pushed because it can be stripped from hemp when they make delta 9 shit.
As I've said a pine tree is all the terepen a community could ever need.
Im saying thc and cbd likely have the most profound effect. I said there were other chemicals. Also delta 9 is regular thc no? delta 8 and delta 10 and HHC and THCa and all that are the "legal" derivatives that aren't spice.
Also delta 9 is regular thc no? delta 8 and delta 10 and HHC and THCa and all that are the “legal” derivatives that aren’t spice.
Yes...
That's what I'm saying. It's not a binary ratio. Even with the same percentage of THC or CBD, that is many different types of THC and many different types of CBD.
And then there are others, which similarly have a lot of variations.
It's only complicated if you still have simplified Mendelian view of variation. Real life ain't 6th grade science man, shits fucking complicated.
The same plant will have variation on itself, even clones have variation.
Don't we literally already have this? Medically prescribed cannabis is pretty weak sauce already I wasn't aware that this required further research really it's just a breeding problem.
I thought we knew how to do that for decades already
Reduces pain in mouse models?
It's a nice way of saying:
We gave mice _____ to see if we could cure them of ____!

Explains it more in depth:
Understanding and treating human diseases requires thorough knowledge of disease-causing molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms. Despite the recent advances in induced pluripotent stem cell techniques, many of these aspects remain challenging to study, especially under physiological conditions in patient-derived material [1,2]. In order to be reliable and valuable, the disease model should recapitulate if not the entire human disease phenotype, then at least the key features of each specific disease under study [3]. For precision medicine, a good understanding of the genetic bases of variation in phenotypes and their interaction with the environment in health and disease are required [4,5]. Thus, animal models, and especially genetically modified (GM) mice, offer great potential to serve as precious preclinical models that facilitate basic understanding of disease pathomechanisms and provide clues for the development of treatment options and novel strategies to follow a treatment’s response.
Could be a motive to disallow the sale of cannabis seeds.
Fuck that.
I'm sure it has it's uses, not for me lol
What sort of goof ball wants to take cannabis but doesn't want to get high?. You could choose from several other pain killers that already do that. Theres no need to ruin perfectly good weed.
