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.

Sounds shit. Gimme both tx
Because you’re not allowed to feel good with any medical treatment.
No.
Or because plenty of people want medicine without unwanted side effects.
Yah the mental haze isn't a fun trap to fall into. (young me as source)
On one hand, it sounds like Puritanical bullshit, but on the other hand, I’d like the option.
Idk some people like going to work without pain.
For me cannabis is an incredibly strong depressant. I can feel suicidal for free with pain, thanks.
Hey, that's cool! This seems promising for enabling people dealing with chronic pain to have more options for ways to control pain without needing to potentially compromise mental function when they need it. Now to scroll through the comment section to see everyone's completely reasonable and measured takes.
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.

I’d use it, if it were legal and wouldn’t threaten my job. I have no interest in getting high.
And then it gets patented and costs $10,000 a dose.
Because god forbid anyone ever feel a high that doesnt benefit corporate cartels.

Has science gone too far?
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.

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

Devil weed, everyone involved should be killed and the research burned.
That's why they are finding out about this now and not 1950. Witch hunts are so great, everyone benefits (not).

Booooringg.
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
without the high, double blind human trials will be relatively easy. looking forward to that.
