Big Pharma hasn’t produced a better anti-nausea alternative to cannabis for chemo therapy patients.

Well the list of many opioid side effects include severe constipation, skin irritation including severe itching, drowsiness, stomach cramps, plus you can die from overdose.

The side effects from good smoke are a sense of happiness and a case of the screamin' munchies... Well, at least that is what I hear...

Facts and reason don’t apply to the legion of tyrants who would throw these people in jail for smoking weed but have no problem with them being zombified by pharmaceutical heroin substitutes.

Follow the money. And watch out for reefer madness.

It’s been almost 40 years since I smoked weed, but I don’t remember it being a pain killer.

Idiots will be sucking on doobies until their heads explode and their cancerous lungs collapse.

No need for crutches as they now have all the MJ they can suck up.

Ping for your Interest.

Totally agree. I tried everything, and then went the medical marijuana route and my life changed. Doctors can be really useless and self serving and people in pain are considered throw-aways.

My marijuana I either eat like in brownies or take a pinch and put in my tea and it works very,very well. I do not smoking it at all. Going the medical marijuana route ensures you get very high quality.

I had not slept more than 2-3 hours a night for the last 4 years before doing this. Now I regularly 7 hours+.

I would much rather take full flower cannabis oil for pain than any opiate for pain not related to surgery. Pain pills render me into a pile of goo. Save for 2-3 days after surgery or a broken bone, I have zero use for pain pills.

First marijuana drug approved in the US for anti-nausea in 1985 under the Reagan administration. It's synthetic THC-9. It's the only approved drug in the US where every single person in a clinical trial had adverse effects. It probably couldn't be approved now. But it works.
