Here are some quotes from the link I shared to save time. And as I said before there are more studies and a lot more anecdotes to attest. Just look at the comments to the post I shared. Just trying to help. Maybe you would use caution when suggesting a friend to try cannabis for pain as you don’t know how their body would react. You could suggest pot for pain and tell them to be careful at first to make sure the pain doesn’t get worse. Maybe start half dose. Instead of being like the friend in the story and your good intentions strangely put your friend in more pain.
Beachwalker, instead of disagreeing, why not look, and learn something.
Anyways here are the quotes, then the link again.
“Within the spinal cord, the C-fibers connect with second-order neurons that relay the signal up the spinal cord to the brain. Where C-fibers and second-order neurons intersect are interneurons that can modulate this signal. Specifically, inhibitory interneurons can decrease the strength of the signal sent to the brain. The brain then interprets the signal and produces the negative emotional state we know as pain.”
“inhibitory interneurons express the cannabinoid CB1 receptor. When the CB1 receptor is activated, the interneurons stop releasing the inhibitory neurotransmitters GABA and glycine. Without these inhibitory signals present in the spinal cord, pain signaling to the brain intensifies.”
