“Cannabis Terpenes as Effective as Morphine for Pain Relief with Fewer Side Effects” • A groundbreaking study by researchers at the Comprehensive Center for Pain & Addiction has highlighted the potential of cannabis terpenes. • Terpenes from Cannabis sativa may be as effective as morphine in managing chronic pain, offering a promising alternative with fewer side effects • The research focused on five terpenes prevalent in cannabis: -Alpha-humulene -Beta-caryophyllene -Beta-pinene -Geraniol Linalool • One of the most critical aspects of the study was assessing the safety profile of these terpenes. Unlike opioids, which can be highly addictive and cause severe side effects such as respiratory depression, the terpenes tested did not exhibit reward liability, making them less likely to lead to addiction. Additionally, the terpenes did not cause aversive behaviors, indicating a favorable side effect profile • These findings could lead to safer, more effective pain relief options for patients, reducing reliance on opioids and improving quality of life for those suffering from chronic pain conditions • As research continues, we may see a shift towards more natural and holistic approaches to pain relief, driven by the therapeutic benefits of cannabis terpenes https://lnkd.in/eYU8ShDC

“ Cannabis Terpenes as Effective as Morphine for Pain Relief with Fewer Side Effects” • In a bold twist, scientists at the Comprehensive Center for Pain & Addiction have spotlighted cannabis terpenes as potential pain relief heroes. • Turns out, terpenes from Cannabis sativa could rival morphine in easing chronic pain, but with way fewer scary side effects. • The study zoomed in on five superstar terpenes:    •   Alpha-humulene    •   Beta-caryophyllene    •   Beta-pinene    •   Geraniol    •   Linalool • Here’s the kicker: unlike opioids (we’re looking at you, morphine) that can be addictive and cause serious issues like breathing problems, these terpenes didn’t trigger that “I want more” feeling, meaning, way less risk of addiction. • Translation? This could mean safer, more effective pain relief, helping patients break free from opioid dependence and finally breathe easier. • If research keeps heading this way, we might soon swap pill bottles for plants in the quest for chronic pain relief. https://lnkd.in/enqT4TZp

https://lnkd.in/gGuu7Rfg Jackie Iversen, Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of Sen-Jam Pharmaceutical, recently attended the 2024 STAT News Strategic Summit East in New York City. At the event, the Director of the National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA), Nora Volkow, was interviewed and discussed the urgent need for pharmaceutical companies to collaborate and develop new classes of drugs to address the ongoing opioid addiction crisis. Iversen posed a question to the Director, who affirmed Sen-Jam's scientific thesis that targeting inflammation could help decrease symptoms and duration of suffering for individuals trying to overcome opioid addiction, potentially "transforming" addiction treatment. This validation from the NIDA Director is significant for Sen-Jam Pharmaceutical's work. The company invites readers to watch a 5-minute clip of the interview and share the information with their networks. They emphasize that the currently available medications are not being fully utilized and that now is the time to embrace new, effective, and safe solutions like those being developed by Sen-Jam Pharmaceutical. The announcement concludes with a call to action, urging readers to join their mission to combat the opioid epidemic through their Wefunder campaign, and emphasizes the urgency of addressing this issue. #goodkarmapharma #wefunder #senjampharma #opioidcrisis

"Patients undergoing Maintenance Therapies for Opioid Use Disorder should NOT be tested for Cannabis by doctors who are part of the problem and helped create the pandemic of addiction that's spread across the globe. Cannabis helps significantly; it depresses the CNS, allowing the medications used for Maintenance Therapies (Suboxone, Methadone) to work far better with less use Opioid Use Disorder is treated by Cannabis all on its own; it's how I gained my freedom from 24 years of addiction. But, for those that end up in some Maintenance program, the plant or its extracts are not allowed as it will compete with the pharma drugs and enable a patient to use less. The potential for addiction isn't there, so all other excuses are Western Medicine lies that we've grown used to. "Most know that these alternatives to hardcore addiction are now being used on patients who got in over their heads with pharmaceuticals of just about any type. I have clients on small doses of 25 mg of Methadone for Benzo addiction who can not use cannabinoids. As it is, I believe Maintenance Therapies to be a pharmaceutical scam in which drugs are sold at huge profits to treat patients in clinics. It's not different from the earnings of the pain clinic; it's, for the most part, the next move by the failing healthcare industry to try to look good when, in reality, it's replacing the income of pain and other patients with addicts they created now in treatment. The bottom line is that addiction is out of control, and we need to make a recovery from the epidemic. Fentanyl has flooded our streets, and the old-school drugs many knew of in the 80s are now just white powder with varying ratios of that in it. To change what's going on, we must Free the Weed, and this doesn't mean putting it under a schedule created for pills; it means altogether off of schedules as it should never have been on one. Cannabis Prohibition must end and the plant removed from Schedule I so treatment centers no longer consider it a dangerous drug and allow people who need it to have it." -Mike Robinson, Founder Nanobles Corp. / Global Cannabinoid Research Center (GCRC) #CannabisMyMedicine #OpioidFree #RecoveryIsPossible
