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.
Damn that’s rough and sounds expensive!
It’s funny, the first few times I smoked a joint with a friend, it barely did anything at all to me. Never had any more for many years, and the next time I was completely couch locked and was hallucinating while watching TV. Either my tolerance changed drastically or my friend’s weed was weak as hell.
