They basically said "medical" marijuana for pain makes things WORSE not better. Futhermore it did NOTHING to alleviate opiod addiction. So the propaganda lie that increased marijuana usage through legalization will decrease opiod use is just that...a massive lie.
More:
Methods The Pain and Opioids IN Treatment study is a prospective, national, observational cohort of people with chronic non-cancer pain prescribed opioids. Participants were recruited through community pharmacies across Australia, completed baseline interviews, and were followed up with phone interviews or self-complete questionnaires yearly for 4 years. Recruitment took place from August 13, 2012, to April 8, 2014. Participants were asked about lifetime and past year chronic pain conditions, duration of chronic non-cancer pain, pain self-efficacy, whether pain was neuropathic, lifetime and past 12-month cannabis use, number of days cannabis was used in the past month, and current depression and generalised anxiety disorder. We also estimated daily oral morphine equivalent doses of opioids. We used logistic regression to investigate cross-sectional associations with frequency of cannabis use, and lagged mixed-effects models to examine temporal associations between cannabis use and outcomes.
For your interest.
I don't care.
I will still vote for legalized recreational marijuana at every opportunity.
Happy 4th of July! MAGA!
As of July 1,Florida law has limited ALL opiod prescriptions in the state to a 3 day supply with an exception to 7 days for diagnosed chronic pain.
‘So the propaganda lie that increased marijuana usage through legalization will decrease opiod use is just that...a massive lie.’
so is your recommendation going forward a continuation of mass incarceration of those that partake of marijuana...?
Another massive lie is the idea that decreased opioid use was the main reason put forward for legalization.
Not what they said; in scientific research "no evidence" means not proven at the p=0.05 level. If you look at their table, all but one of the confidence intervals includes alleviation.
You know what?
If someone is dying of cancer, and they say smoking a joint makes them feel better, THEN LET THEM SMOKE IT, AND MIND YOUR OWN DAMNED BUSINESS!
I’m ready to give up. Let’s legalize drugs. Provided we also completely eliminate the welfare system and let nature take its course. It would be gruesome but within a few years we would sharply reduce drug abuse while decimating the Democratic Party and significantly improving the gene pool.
I’m curious if they used CBD oil (without THC). My wife tried it for MS pain. No effect.
I guess the patients that tell me face to face they’re lives have improved greatly since they stopped using opioids & use cannabis instead are just all liars then. /s
Everyone who disagrees with authoritarian prohibitionists are certainly liars as well I suppose. SMH.
Shame there wasn’t 100 PHD’s in this ‘study’. Then it would REALLY have been super duper extra valid lol!
No differentiation between the studies cannabis use — A.K.A. smoking pot to get high and specific uses of non inebriating strains of cannabis oils and tinctures made from hemp that are showing promise in reducing chronic back and nerve pain, anxiety reduction, lower blood pressure, and a sudden affinity to get rid of every pharmaceutical pill the organization has had them hooked on for the last 20 years.
Apples and freight train comparisons can render any result you need to make up.

The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) has released a new guideline taking an evidence-based look at cannabis-based medicines as well as other complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) in the setting of multiple sclerosis (MS).
According to the recommendations, oral cannabus extracts, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and a cannabinoid mouth spray might be useful in relieving spasticity and pain
I still call BS. None of those PH’ds had chronic pain, I’d bet. Having been in chronic pain since 2000 I have a dog in this game. Been prescribed Oxycontin for years as needed. I am not addicted.
I had never tried MJ until 3 years ago and I can tell you it works as well or better than Oxy. No gastrointestinal or other side effects and it does kill the pain. I qualify for medical MJ but its not covered by insurance. $250 for initial visit and $75 for MJ Card and then $150 every 70 days BEFORE any product.
My mom, who has severe pancreatitus, takes 4 - 6 tramadol(50mg.) every day. She now takes a THC hard candy of 5mg. with her evening tramadaol. Says she is getting better sleep with the candy without as much pain. At 88 years old, if it helps her, I say take it.
Adults should have the Freedom to take whatever they enjoy, and if they f-up on their drug, pay the consequences.
Sorry, but I personally know 3 people that used Arizona’s medical marijuana laws to get off opiods, they were on a pain management program via opiods and wanted off it because it was destroying their lives... they now cope with their cronic non cancer pain with a natural plant God put on this earth for us to use.
So the propaganda lie that increased marijuana usage through legalization will decrease opiod use is just that...a massive lie.

Potheads are like other addicts. They are skilled and prolific liars.
To the Keyword spammer who wrote “homosexualagenda”: President Trump has done more to facilitate marijuana in America than all of FR combined, and arguably any president before him, including the last one.¹ ²
Is President Trump is facilitating the homosexual agenda? Step out from behind the keyboard and give us your thoughts.

the way I have clinically seen cannabis be successful in pain relief is when it provided muscle relaxation to people with crippling back pain. In that respect it was much more effective than non-benzos, and a good choice for people with history of ETOh abuse or addiction.
