What about it reduces empathy? My uneducated guess would be that it's unrelated to _which_ pain medicine you choose.

Also, FWIW, in the past, I tried both CBD and THC without any luck where Ibuprofen helped so it's certainly not 1:1

See other response.

What forms did you try? What brands? Were they lab tested?

Like any "new" drug - there's a lot of nonsense floating around.

Please don't simply buy CBD capsules from Walmart, and say "this shit doesn't work for me".

And others.

True or not, parent wasn't just making up the empathy-painkiller association.

Wow! A psychoactive substance that's actually helpful!

(Even though it's clearly not net-helpful due to the serious physiological side-effects.)

That's amazing!

... why isn't there more research on isolating this particular side-effect?
