OH HELL YEAH! This is so awesome my hair's standing on end and turning blonde! Marijuana itself may have "no recognized medical use" according to the Controlled Substances Act but researchers haven't had any trouble putting cannabinoids, the plant's active ingredient, to good use. A new study published in the Journal of Pain (which coincidentally, is also an awesome name for a thrash metal band) indicates that an oral spray containing cannabinoids provided superior pain relief to a small, 263-patient study than that of conventional opiate-based sprays.
