People with chronic lower back pain who don’t respond to traditional therapies such as opioids experience “large, sustained, and statistically robust improvements” when they switch to inhaled cannabis, according to a new study.Researchers at Rabin Medical Center in Israel looked at longitudinal data from 241 patients with treatment-resistant lower back pain from 2020 to 2025.Not only did cannabis “markedly and durably” improve pain symptoms, but that was accompanied by “near-total displacement of opioids, NSAIDs, antidepressants and gabapentinoids,” the study, published in the journal Biomedicines, said.The authors said they chose to research the efficacy of inhaled or vaporized marijuana “because of its rapid onset, on-demand titratability, and patient preference.”The THC content in the cannabis used in the study ranged from 4-22 percent, while CBD concentration ranged from 2-22 percent.“The within-patient benefit-risk profile…supports consideration of cannabis as a potentially clinically meaningful, opioid-sparing option in patients who have failed multimodal conventional therapy, pending confirmation in randomized comparative trials,” the study concluded.Researchers stressed that, while promising, the study should be followed up with “randomized comparative trials of inhaled cannabis versus continued multimodal therapy” to ensure that “causal claims can be made.”“In their absence, and pending such confirmation, these data support consideration of inhaled cannabis as a potentially clinically meaningful, opioid-sparing option for patients who have failed conventional multimodal therapy,” they said.>https://www.marijuanamoment.net/marijuana-leads-to-robust-improvements-in-lower-back-pain-and-near-total-cessation-of-opioids-study-finds/
I can’t be stoned when I’m working though. Nor do I want to be.
But cannabis is not a painkiller so how?
>>538131941>tfw smoke all the pot>tfw back was out two weeks agoWeed did nothing for the pain. Only thing it might get credit for is making it marginally easier for me to stretch my hips back into alignment.Three weeks later, and the pain remains. Albeit less deep and sharper. So better?
>>538131941While I dont defend it, Ill quote my friend, a retired LEO."In my 40 years as an officer, not once did I have to break up a fight between 2 individuals who smoked Marijuana. Alcohol, on the other hands, hundreds of times."
Does it heal the back or just treat the pain ?
>>538131941so just replace opioid addiction with marijuana addiction. and now you stink of pot too.nigger doctor advice
>>538131941Opioids are kicked over time, with or without weed. That’s gay to say it’s some kind of magic. Weed makes people feel better, yeah.
weedicts will tell you weed is a miracle plant with all of these amazing uses, but somehow I just know that if they made a version of it that you couldn't get high from but still did everything else they claimed they would completely lose interest in it
>>538132039It's anti inflammatory
>>538131941>Researchers at Rabin Medical Center in IsraelLol fuck you and fuck this.
>>538131941Why does it have to smell so damn bad? I just don't like the smell of socks, pants, and underwear after being worn for several days.
>>538132039Have you ever smoked it? I have a bag locked up because I'm currently waiting for a background check before I can take a drug test. My ass can readily drink until I black out, pop tramadol and gabapentin, down a glass of kratom powder mixed with just enough water to swallow, do shrooms, acid, make homemade ayahuasca and trip balls, huff paint, huff freon, etc, but god fucking forbid I hit a bowl 3 months ago and need to pass a drug test. I could do coke or meth right now and pass a test free and clear by Monday morning easily. It's fucking retarded.
Im high right now
>>538132039Yes it is? It has anti inflammatory properties. My first go to whenever I habe back pain or a headache.
>>538132047Take ibuprofen with a dose of full spectrum CBD. The anti inflammatory properties are synergistic. If you aren't on a NAC protocol get on it too. Anyone using cannabis should be.
>>538131941Marijuana makes you stupid and lowers your survival instincts. That's why you see White girls that smoke marijuana with niggers.
>>538131941(((they))) want everyone sedated for what they're gonna do next
this tracks. I did lots of vicodins, oxys, kratom (happy hippo was my supply) and even heroin (for three months) and it was all fairly easy to quit; I never caught the bud and I was also smoking weed extremely heavily at the time(2 strains of flower + 5 strains of dabs 30 to 50 times a day)
>>538132039The first time I ever smoked weed I couldn't even feel my body. I was pinching and poking myself nonstop.
>>538131941Yes, but it makes kids become retards. It should be illegal unless you are 40+.
>>538132318The terpenes and various strains smell wonderful if you have a nose for it. Dry vaping herb is also the peak way to smoke so you get all the flavor and full effects of the stack of compounds. It smells much less offensive than burning it.
>>538132023i've never worked, fired weapons, fucked pussy, or driven a vehicle sober. and i never will.
>>538132541luckily I can be sedated and not put up with bullshit thats directly under my control. I quit all narcotics and now Im just an alcoholic + niggerettes
>>538132523Don't put white women's' penchant for self-destruction on the herb asshole.
>>538132580Everyone over 40 should have to smoke outdoors on top of it. It keeps kids from smoking to begin with by removing the taboo.
>>538132591This is cope.
>>538132766Any neighbor smoking outside, and other neighbors are forced to smell it, should have shit slung on their front door.
>>538131941Bullshit. If weed helped lower back pain, I'd have been smoking daily, since I was a kid. It doesn't do shit, unless they're referring to temporary, minor, "ow I stubbed my toe and threw out my back" pain.
Stop it, get some help
>>538131941That's pretty antisemitic, you can't cut the gains from selling junk from the pharma jew, it'll be like another mother fucking shoah to their gains.
>>538132774I am a connoisseur and weed snob. I mostly enjoy older landrace strains like Durban Poison and don't really touch indicas much anymore. Skunk, diesel strains, earthy and even spicy ones. Stuff is wonderful. Sometimes I don't even need a session I will just crack my jar and take a big ole whiff.
>>538132471I feel back or nerve pain coming on, if I can, I'm putting a pinch in a bowl and barely tapping it with a lighter. Can't even see the smoke I blow out. I feel just fine in a few seconds or so, but as previously said, I don't currently have that option. A machine at work fucks up and I get hurt? God help me if I hit a bowl two weeks ago. If I did a few lines last tuesday and spent the rest of the week binge drinking I'm golden. Never worked with a mexican that didn't do coke regularly, it clears the system well before a scheduled drug test. It's fucking retarded.
>>538132863I have smoked outside for about 20 years. The most anyone could ever muster was leaving some empty weed containers on the sidewalk. Some other dude got a sick burn asking me if I was trying to be Archimedes with a bubbler setup I used to run.
>>538132643Absolutely based. Can't say the same, but have absolutely rolled into work at 5 after binge drinking until 3, hit a joint and operated heavy machinery, gone on a bender and fucked myself up after a machine malfunctioned and the mandatory drug test found zero. Weed had nothing to do with any mistake I regret, including hooking up with a woman. Alcohol, not really, pills, on occassion, other things, sure, of course.
>>538131941If you just want to treat symptoms, sure. It's an effective thing, but the real issue is weak back from sitting around, not stretching or doing any real physical activity. I see young guys complaining about back pain all the time. I am 54 and have zero age issues. Some of it is being a bit active and eating healthy, but also practice Falun Gong exercises regularly. My back used to feel like it needed to be popped all the time. Once I started (25 years ago), it has never felt like it nor needed it.
>>538132919Let me guess: you like sniffing feet.
>>538133508Nah, shortbread is the next best smell there is. Feet are for fags I would rather have a sweaty thong after my wife has a run.
>>538131941Great, but it's still the MD perspective of dealing with health issues - managing the symptoms instead of fixing the condition.>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4P5caS0xf20
>>538133115i guarantee you a White guy high or even drunk behind the wheel of a machine is still safer than your average shitskin bumbling around in the way out there. mark my words. these filthy wetbacks are always getting drunk and spilling shit out of the backs of their trucks and then running over an entire family of Whites every day and the piggers just sweep it under the rug every time. it pisses me off. i always publicly celebrate and cheer whenever those dumb motherfuckers kill another shitskin though.
>>538131941https://youtu.be/90AITvzAyEQ
reddit used to be spammed for years by weed shills. In every single use case, there's a better legal alternative. I'm sure the price for treating back pain plebs would pay is becoming an obese, apathetic, loser!
>>538131941> THC content in the study ranged from 4-22 percent
>>538131941study finds op is a faggot nigger
>>538132896>stop using natural remedies and go buy the good medicine from Mr. Shekelberg
i smoke so much fucking weed i dont even get high anymore. not really seeing what the point is anymore, im not sure if there ever was one but my chest sure does seem to hurt a lot lately.
>>538132919Indicas are about all I smoke now. Usually Quantum Niglet OG or Garcia Hand Picked LA Baker, both around 30% THC indicas. I keep a small amount of sativa around in case I need to clean the house or something.
>>538136068Yes anon, it doesn't matter if it's not as bad as cigarettes if you are blowing hot smoke into your lungs nonstop it will cause damage, just relax for a bit, don't chain smoke. Wait at least 2 months before smoking again and don't do it more than 2 or 3 times a day.
>>538131941this can’t be happening pol
>>538131941>>538132079>>538132210>>538132384>>538132541all i know is Marijuana helped me quit alcohol and thats a good thing.it is a good remedy for alcoholism much better than AA.better to be a pothead than a drunk.
>>538132023You can't work zonked on oxy either
