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 people who don’t want it don’t deserve to have that choice? This makes no sense

            I think they mean that, as long as it doesn’t exist, they can use the kind that does both, but as soon as it does, their boss will insist they use the boring kind.

              How about just taking the choice away from their boss?

                First time dealing with late stage capitalism?

                Whom precisely do you think wants that decision in their bosses hands?
