I love as this news spread, all the "but i need it for my pain/depression/etc/etc!, its the only thing that helps!" types are now just straight up basically saying they don't give a fuck about anything it does but the high.

I knew this was gonna happen.

Just like I know the type of responses I'm gonna get from the outed potheads and addicts.

Potheads and addicts? Holy shit, is it still 1990 and you’ve got some weird fucking prejudice against how other people choose to spend their time or how they medicate themselves? Oh boy…

Just like I know the type of responses I'm gonna get

You invite the circus when you put the clown mask on.

I dont care what you do in your own home.

But potheads, like vegans, cant just contain it to their own home and shut up about it. They gotta make sure everyone, everywhere, in every fucking conversation, knows about what they do.

And for the longest time, they all tried to hide behind pot being the magical medicine that cured all woes, and now we have science actually isolating beneficial components without hte high, and the overwhelming response is "NO, I DONT WANT THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS, I WANT THE HIGH", which is exactly what addicts would say.

Used one without the high. Worked beautifully. Too expensive in the long run. But really appreciated it. Dont want the high at all. It had no side effects. Just gentle pain relief. Bliss.

If I'm in chronic pain then I'm going to want to be high too. Nothing wrong with being high in your own house.

-I don't even like weed. The high just feels like taking benedryl to me.

This is so stupid. Just more pointless research to make you look the wrong way. Like Cannabis is this miracle plant that could offer us things we didn't have access to before.

I love Cannabis, she has been one of my best friends for over 25 years but let's not kid ourselves. These terpenes aren't unique to Cannabis, you shouldn't be getting them from Cannabis, you should be getting them from your food.

Unfortunately the food you are sold is dead and empty. Not only are processed foods stripped of all you actually need to support a healthy body, the fruits and veggies you buy are mostly dead strains that are grown in dead soil. It's cheaper upfront, but then you have to pay for it in supplements, taxes and hospital bills.

Geraniol: Citronella, rose, lemongrass

Linalool: Lavender, mints, citrus, coriander, basil

Beta-caryophyllene: Black pepper, rosemary, cloves, hops

Alpha-humulene: Sage, hops, ginseng, ginger, mints

Terpenes are the key. Spice up your lives.

Slam it to the left if you're havin' a good time, shake it to the right If ya know that you feel fine

Chicas to the front! Ha! Ha!

Yall are fuckin wierd lol. I absolutely love cannabis, both recreationally and medically. But if there's an additional choice to isolate the pain relief aspect without the psychoactive effects of THC, that would be amazing as well. It's not an either/or choice - there are absolutely use cases for both. Regardless, I'm pretty skeptical that terpenes are any more useful for pain control than essential oils are.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

This industry relies on innuendo and bots to fill comments on Reddit, anything but actual clinical trials with placebo controls. Same thing with terpene sleep aids.

Thing is, this is strain that's gonna be legalized if any. So any fun use would still be illegal.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

The states in the US that have already legalized weed are not going to let go of that tax revenue anytime soon.

[–] dawcas@scribe.disroot.org 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If I'm not wrong, essential oils are rich in terpenes and maybe that's what makes them useful as a pain treatment.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 hours ago

Essential oils are not useful as 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.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Because god forbid anyone ever feel a high that doesnt benefit corporate cartels.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, i don't want to feel high while i try to relieve some pain yk

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

ITT: a lot of people who don’t suffer from chronic pain.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 10 hours ago

My dad his disautonomia so he has to smoke weed in order to cope with the pain from his nervous system.

He'd rather not use pain killers aka morphine aka opiates for risk of getting addicted to those.

Hopefully this compound will help his pain tolerance without giving him the high

But like, the buzz cures pain too. Or is no one else dealing with depression?

[–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 8 points 10 hours ago

Depression isn't real, now back to rowing your oar, slave.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 88 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (11 children)

Pass.

Call me when they develop weed without pain relief that only gets you high as giraffe balls.

[–] dil@piefed.zip 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I hate the pain relief/numbing aspect of some strains, it makes me get comfortable in positions that don't make me feel bad til the nexy day and then I feel bad for a week

[–] gemakey@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Huh...I've always heard "giraffe pussy." Lol I never thought about it the other way.
