I simply don’t buy the chronic pain and ganga argument.

There is no support for hallucinogens as analgesics.

I live with chronic pain every day. Some days are nominally better than others. But at no time has THC helped reduce the level of pain, EVER!

I consider it a recreational drug like alcohol with no redeeming medicinal value. You are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to mine. I speak from first hand experience with excruciating at times chronic pain with no end in sight and THC is no magic elixir as you argue.

Just because coca and opium are naturally derived, does not make THC anything more than a recreational time out of mind drug. Get over it.

I am not giving my opinion but stated a medical fact. There are millions of people effectively using cannabis for relief of pain.

The fact you have smoked some pot and you did not get pain relief suggests you did not use the proper strain of cannabis. THC is not the only cannabinoid in cannabis and if you do the research you will quickly learn what type of cannabis you should try for pain relief. Also smoking cannabis is not the most effective way to use cannabis medically.

Stop telling people because you smoked pot and it did not help you with pain, it does not work to relieve pain. You are misinformed and spreading that misinformation to people who are suffering and can benefit from this medicine.

So are you willing to leave medical marijuana up to the states per the Tenth Amendment?
