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.
So cannabis and alcohol bad, caffeine fine?
Caffeine and nicotine are problematic for various reasons, but they are not significantly mind-altering. Because of that, chronic use of caffeine and nicotine is not problematic with regard to being able to perform most tasks.
Oh wait, you’re serious.
Are you implying that it’s dangerous to drive or inadvisable to do your taxes after drinking coffee?
