There are certain mind-altering substances that make my back hurt, I wonder if they're unsuppressing the pain that I would be feeling all the time if not for this mechanism.

Anecdotally, cannabis seems to do that for me. Pain/soreness that I normally dont feel from a few previous injury becomes magnified and noticeable.

I thought me and my cousin were the only ones with this issue. Cannabis makes my bones ache like nothing else and it feels like my tendons are being torn apart. I don't understand why. I used to smoke heavily between 2010-2013 without issue. I stopped and didn't try it again until 2017 or so, but it's never been the same since. It doesn't take much either. Just one mild hit and it's pain city.

Same here, but it happens when it wears off. If i just don't use it, there's no pain.

All my friends thought I was crazy when I pointed this out the first time I tried it.

I hear all the time about how cannabis helps with pain management. Opposite with me.

That seems like a freebie for a study, feed patients psychedelics and see if that region of the brain activates.
