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.

                If you can drive safely then go ahead but if you’re impaired by too much of anything that you would drive poorly then don’t. I thought this was common sense.

                  the uk sticks out in the statistics of legal limits for alcohol in europe at 0.8‰ BAC; most countries are at 0.2 with some having a zero-tolerance policy, because it affects people so differently and it’s hard to tell.
