I think pre-emptive dosing myself with co-codamol before the arthritis hits my fingers is working. I've only had to use the splints for relief once this week so far.
The GP has increased the co-codamol strength so hopefully even that'll improve.

I've had three extremely useful conversations with two different pharmacists today.

The Omeprazole I was prescribed after my last gastroscopy is causing severe pains in my arthritic fingers (despite the hospital consultant saying it wouldn't). Pharmacist has confirmed it's a rare, but documented, side effect of •all• PPIs.

The pharmacist at the GP surgery has arranged for me to get an 8 week prescription of Famotdine instead, and to review it when I'm back from holiday.

While my arthritis has eased off significantly since I stopped taking the Lanzaprazole, I'm still getting pain in my thumbs particularly in the evenings.
So I'm back to wearing the thumb splint which helps a lot.
At least the knee & hip pains have gone.

I had quite bad back pain in the night which I think might be the pain that Lansaprazole was given in the first place.

I'd rather have the stomach and back pain than the arthritis pains.

I've got a phone consultation with the GP surgery but it's in about 10 days time.

Nice skeptic article as any true science should be. Anything that links the 2011 Russo paper "Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects" is to be celebrated. Here is the link again in case somebody missed it.

https://bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1476-5381.2011.01238.x

Russo's paper has been cited 1,161 times and it deals with exogenous cannabinoids and terpenes synergy, not just endogenous o made inside our body, as did the original 1998 Mechoulam research.

Indeed, due to obsolete prohibitionism and sad profit-comes-first mentality, the current cannabis and hemp markets are a wild west of fake adultered product and unproven claims.

Yet since 2011 hundreds of studies have confirmed the entourage effect. Here is a small and incomplete collection of full spectrum extract papers 2004-2023.

https://www.cvresearch.info/full-spectrum-hemp-extracts-studies

OPs article calls for more standarized extract testing, even though Big Pharmas really prefers patentable, cheap to make, single molecule, symptom masking drugs. Good luck with that.

I agree with the article bottomline: governments should step up to the research task instead of trusting this critical matter to profit-driven corporations. Mixed isolate cannabis pharmaceuticals have been in the market for over a decade and proven their capabilities and limitations.

That is the case of Sativex, a 700 US$ 1:1 (thc:cbd) oral spray that controls some symptoms of MS yet fails to work for other conditions. Three separate studies ( Israeli, Brazilian and American) have since proven that full flower artisanal extracts are up to 6x more effective than expensive isolate preparations like Sativex

"A bias against cannabis still exists today. While the roots of weed prohibition have many unfortunate layers, storytelling played a huge role in negative public opinion around the plant. Some publications continue to feed into the modern version of “Reefer Madness,” what I call Reefer Madness 2.0. One article from a respected legacy publication just last year centered on how to get your neighbor evicted for smelling like weed. Not only is this type of storytelling cruel and inhumane (what if they are a medical patient, or a child with epilepsy?), most importantly, it’s not based on science."

Nice sunday read. The article goes on to propose to 1. Reframe Weed As Wellness, 2. Lean On Peer-Review Studies and 3. Dare To Question Existing Tech Platforms (and censorship). It advocates for invite-only discord grow diaries, yet fails to mention the #fediverse and #mastodon as great tools to keep #freedomofexpression and #humanrights going.

Lets get that corrected. Help me share this and let Rolling Stone know about our existence.
