here ‘s a thought for the usual B/S excuse to get drugs legal for the druggies.
There are so much pain meds already and I Know this after many surgeries, broken back and yes cancer.\\
Don’t need smoking weed fort he dopes to use as an excuse.
The pain meds that I am on are killing my endocrine and immune systems. I am suffering liver and stomach damage and bone loss. You cannot stay on these drugs for years.
In addition, opiates do not do well when it comes to treating nerve pain. (One of my major problems.) They are HIGHLY addictive and highly damaging to the body and the brain. The steroids destroy multiple systems and bone and make the patient susceptible to infections. The anti-fungal medications that offset those infections damage the liver.
The doctors are limited in their pain management arsenal, and that is the truth.
I’m going to try medicinal marijuana for my nerve pain, muscle spasms, and chronic inflammation. IF marijuana can get me off of half of my prescribed medications and end my dependency on the handfuls of OTC meds, then marijuana will extend my life expectancy significantly.
As I’m on the brink of death now, what do I have to lose?
I challenge you, and everyone else on this thread, to show me one confirmed area where medical marijuana will do MORE damage than the doctor-prescribed medications that I’m on. In ANY area, where is marijuana worse? (Or even as bad?)
