Summary

This study looks at whether terpenes—natural compounds found in plants—can reduce pain when taken alone or with THC. Researchers will test 45 adults who use cannabis regularly to measure pain relief and any feelings of being high or drug liking. The goal is to find safer ways to manage pain without increasing the risk of drug abuse.
