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.

    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.

      Weed smells like pine trees because they both have the chemical in this “study”.

      It’s way easier and basically free if you have any sort of access to a pine tree.

      Which is why no one pays for studies about that method.

          If you haven’t noticed, there’s a shit kind of different weeds.

          That is mainly due to varying terepens.

          Some weed, smells like pine tree to various degrees.
