“horsepoop. MJ is toxic crap. There are other things you take to relieve pain.”

Well I beg to differ. My wife, who is 73, suffers from back pain (she has had one surgery and may have to have two more), and she is alegic to opioids. She has never smoked her entire life, but she has gotten some relief from her pain using marijuana. So unless you’re a doctor with some evidence to the contrary, your comment is the “horsepoop” here. Sometimes there are not “other things” to relieve pain, and in point of fact, “pain management” is one of the medical travesties of our time. The fact is, the medical profession has not done a decent job of understanding and successfully treating pain.

Agree wholeheartedly.
