There's NO evidence marijuana or CBD oil treats pain better than placebo, major review finds

Marijuana and CBD have no effect on pain relief, a major review has found.

Despite pain being one of the most popular reasons for using cannabis, researchers found the products are no more effective than a placebo.

The review looked at more than a dozen studies in 11 countries involving 1,459 people from early 2000s to September 2021.

The researchers said: 'Our team observed no significant difference between cannabis and a placebo for reducing pain.'

A variety of pain conditions were included, such as nerve damage and multiple sclerosis, as well as a range of cannabis products — THC, CBD and synthetic cannabis — taken via pills, sprays, oils and smoking.

Results showed that pain intensity significantly reduced in response to a placebo, as did cannabis.

The research paper said: 'Our meta-analysis showed that pain was rated as being significantly less intense after treatment with a placebo, with a moderate to large effect depending on each person.'

It added: 'In line with general principles of human perception, expectations of (possible) pain relief can modulate sensory processing and thereby reduce the perception of incoming nociceptive signals.'

The review also found that lots of participants could tell the difference between a placebo and cannabis

The power of the mind!...

:jay:

thought we finally got rid of this dude..

how does trashing herb become ones public presence? like were you beaten up by weed as a kid or something?

no drugs is obviously superior to drugs for a daily lifestyle choice...

but if you say YES to drugs.. cannabis is the one to choose.

on a saner level, if youre not "doing drugs" cannabis is literally one of the roots of all modern medicine..

if you really wanna get your mind blown look into the roots of the word messiah and exactly what they used to put into that sacred anointing oil

Do you know there are some users who puke their guts out, ruining their esophagus, and they STILL smoke? Because they want to be one of the "cool kids"? Cannabis hyperemesis.

Weed also causes SCHIZOPHRENIA AND OTHER PSYCHOSIS related mental disorders.

“Schizophrenia linked to marijuana use disorder is on the rise, study finds”

“There is, unfortunately, evidence to suggest that cannabis is increasingly seen as a somewhat harmless substance. This is unfortunate, since we see links with schizophrenia, poorer cognitive function, substance use disorders, etc,” Hjorthøj wrote.

When you smoke something you know is mostly harmless and worry about how you might lose everything because of it, that might cause some mental issues.

Maybe even worse if some tyrant has already put cuffs on you for it.

Kind Of like the stress of climate change is causing the increase in heart attacks. Got it.

Yea kind of. Sounds funny when compared to that.

I'll speak from personal experience though, I had a lot of paranoia until I could smoke it legally.

Marijuana works even better than opioids for pain. The only thing better is booze.

Stop with constant weed threads

Weed is God's gist to humans

I live in constant pain from psoriatic arthritis and I’m here to tell the truth: weed does jack for pain. Weed makes you tired. Opiates make you euphoric for about 1.5 hours, but you can’t get enough of a dose to keep pain at bay without switching to harder opiates. Cocaine you feel no pain. Ecstasy no pain. Both have tremendous drawbacks. I’ve done it all and I just deal with it now. Have a beer and quit being a pussy.
