People have used marijuana and its derivatives to relieve pain as well as get high for thousands of years. Recently, researchers have been trying to divorce pot's pain-relieving properties from its psychoactive effects. Extricating the high could aid in generating novel pharmaceuticals free of the political opposition facing medical marijuana. It might also permit high doses, strong enough to boost the drug's intrinsically modest analgesic power without detrimental side effects to the central nervous system (CNS).
