The Schedule 1 crowd won’t have a problem with the non-psychoactive phytocannabinoids.

A disabling inflammatory problem of at least 30 years duration, not responsive to any conventional medical measures, began to improve in 2015 when I started taking full-spectrum CBD orally. Probably 80% better at this time and I continue CBD.

I am against smoking MJ for myself, but I know people with constant bad back pain and it does help them. What does it matter to you if a person can get relief? Sorry, if you have a personal reason to want to keep others from pain relief.

Cancer victims are also helped, stomach wise.
If I ever get to the point of having to choose between pain relievers, I would choose weed. Hopefully I just won’t act as silly.

Character of the person smoking MJ or drinking alcohol is the problem as I see it.
I can’t drink wine because I cry. I can’t drink whiskey because I get mean. Just sayin’.

Mj as far as I see makes you act silly and evidently hungry. :-)

“Chronic inflammation is a biological process in which inflamed tissues release messenger molecules called cytokines. These cytokines recruit immune cells that become activated and maintain the inflammatory response.”

Same mechanism basically that caused the “cytokine storms” that did all the lung damage in the first wave of COVID. By coincidence, marijuana was legalized Jan. 1, 2020 where I live...

Umm, you realize that opiates are still the only real choice for serious pain relief that modern medicine has to offer right? Short of just cutting off your nerve endings surgically, I guess.
