In any given study, a number of people will exaggerate their pain to get more drugs. I don’t think marijuana is any different in this regard. It’s not physically addictive, but some people will abuse anything. The consequences appear to be less than current prescription and even non-prescription pain meds. I’ve never known anyone to overdose on pot, but I have known people who’ve died from taking too much Tylenol.

“I’ve never known anyone to overdose on pot, but I have known people who’ve died from taking too much Tylenol.”

Odd that you should mention Tylenol. It’s rarely mentioned on these threads.

And it’s downright DEADLY.

My nephew (34yrs old) is in certain death spiral due to Tylenol. It burned his liver up.

And to top it off, they put it in most opioid pills. That’s how he got his. 8-10 Vicodin per day for about 10 years due to a chronic back injury.

And it killed him. He’s just not dead yet.

Good point. It's very plausible that the reason for what this study observed is that the sort of people who enjoy opioids for their own sake are overrepresented among regular marijuana users.
