Marijuana vaporization reduces pain, new Israeli study finds
Posted on August 26, 2014 by David Downs

Yet another study confirms smoking pot relieves pain.

Vaporized, whole-plant cannabis reduced chronic neuropathic pain by 45 percent, according to the results of a study published in ‘The Journal of Pain and Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy’ Aug. 13.

Israeli physicians gave eight patients suffering from otherwise untreatable nerve pain whole plant cannabis via a Syke inhaler — which is essentially a vaporizer. It heats the mature, unfertilized female flowerbuds to release therapeutic vapor, without burning it.
