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.
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.
Didn’t that shit also have tons of side effects? I vaguely remember someone I knew took it and it made them nauseous
