Doctors question whether medical marijuana is worth the trip
Take a couple of white coats, some advanced degrees, and allocate a good chunk of university money to do groundbreaking research, and what happens? Well, in the case of a new study out of the University of California, Davis, scientists discovered something that every hackey-sack-kicking, hemp-clothes-wearing undergrad could have told them: Marijuana eases nerve pain at the expense of certain mental skills.
Appearing in the June edition of The Journal of Pain, the study revealed that pain ratings dropped precipitously in participants after smoking THC cigarettes (THC is the main psychoactive substance in cannabis), while no such reduction was reported after smoking a placebo cigarette without the THC.
