The drug, which is legal for medical use in the majority of US states, is mainly prescribed to ease pain. But this new research conducted in Colorado - which was the first state to legalize - suggests that short-term pain relief could weaken the body's resilience to pain over time. The researchers, from the Swedish Medical Center, Colorado, analyzed around 260 people who were involved in minor vehicle accidents and admitted to trauma centers. Of these, 54 tested positive for recent marijuana use while 16 claimed they used the drug more or less every day.

Years ago one would buy a bag of weed on Haight Street from various street types. Today millennials sell you pre-rolled joints at the corner pot shop.
Other than high school the period of my life when I smoked the most pot was when I was a carpenter. My tolerance for pain was incredible in those days and there was a lot of it.
Have barely touched the stuff in the last 13 years and my pain tolerance nothing like it was back then.
Why don’t we let the person in pain decide what they want to take to relieve it? The government should have no say.
On steroids! lol

Right.. and we have a majority of them here on this board. It has always been and will always be a gateway drug. Hundreds of babies born pot positive. Nice going America.
Louisiana has only in recent years began reforming the weed laws. They use to hammer you.
“Stupid”
Yes, but at least the nurse was kind.
“Hundreds of babies born pot positive.”
Sort of like saying hundreds of babies born orange pekoe positive.
You just had to bring Donald Trump into this!
A felony isnt “auto” prison time. People keep lying about simple possession resulting in prison time. Its a lie.
Thinking about our President just makes me feel good.
That logical fallacy is called “post hoc ergo propter hoc.”
It is if you don’t have the money for a lawyer.
Why should someone have a felony on their record for possessing pot?
Why?
‘Splain that to me.
Dude, turn off that lamp!
I bought many a dime bag on Haight Street in my youth; your post sparked some memories, FRiend!
I do not even know how to respond to the stupidity you just posted.
WTF.
Drug use and crime literally go hand in hand. People who are ignorant of this fact have a hard time believing it. Addicts have an even harder time believing it.
But hey; is there anything more Conservative than recreational drug use? I mean, am I right? Advocation of getting high for no reason is practically Reaganesque round here lately.
There have been many, many babies born who have in their system a substance called linalool, which is present in cannabis.
It sounds like a bad thing, except that linalool is also present in lavender.
BAN LAVENDER. DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN.
