To break down Paco Dennis's post - in short, the tiny neurons scattered throughout your brain send and receive messages via transmitters and receptors (receptors are receivers). THC blocks
some receptors from taking up and processing messages about pain. (unfortunately, THC isn't very specialized)
There are non-THC prescription pain medications that do the same thing. A lot of them are opioids. The ones that aren't opioids are classified as
re-uptake inhibitors....they basically inhibit receptors from taking up and processing messages about pain.
Some re-uptake inhibitors block messages that cause impulsivity, hysteria, phobias, depression, and personality disorders. Those are used to treat various mental health issues.
And they can block pain messages while also blocking messages that cause hysteria, impulsivity and the other issues I listed. While the re-uptake inhibitor is doing both those things at once, you feel great! It makes you feel young and healthy and gives you a can-do attitude.
Please tell your doctor how you felt that day. Tell him/her what day and time it started and how long it lasted.
If you are currently taking a Rx medication, it is very important that you also tell your doctor
how long after you took that medication this feeling started. It's possible s/he can prescribe something that will work
with your medication to facilitate getting this feeling every day, or at least more often, or s/he might be able to just tweak the dosage to get the same result.
(also, virtually all re-uptake inhibitors are covered by virtually all insurance companies)
