You might be surprised at how many conservative votes a medical MMJ would get, since the DEA and DUMBO restricted or cut off Granny’s pain meds. Most are turning to MMJ looking for pain relief from illnesses that have no cure and cause level 9 constant pain and leave them near invalids and on DSS. When with a reduction of pain they’d still be able to work at least PT or even some full time most of the time.
Instead we are treated like Street Junkies with embarrassing drug testing and nearly mandatory Pain Management who haven’t the slightest clue how to hand the disease that causes the pain. Then you get a patient like me who has severe nerve damage, their normal drugs are ER trips for me. Narcotics are not even in the scope of use as OA, and Estrogen’s ruined my digestive tract, they shut my bowels down. So even for severe pain narcotics are a rare 1 or 2 day thing I always regret. Live on Tylenol.
I was amazed at the number of older people were going to the shops. I think they mainly do the edibles. It really helps with the constant pain.
