Don't know, as I mentioned I have never smoked it so I have no idea what it does :) I have drank beer before a few times and it did make me feel better physically, but I rarely intake that either. A good wine is far better in my estimation and I don't get a 'buzz' or whatever from it. As far as studies I have come to trust them about as far as I can throw the person who wrote it - science has become like religion where people tend to push one point of view and leave facts at the door.

Well, since I don't think I am running for office (but just in case, my experience was a long time ago, in college ;~D), the buzz is nothing like alcohol. Pot does not slow physical reactions or motor function. It doesn't make you numb and clumsy the way alcohol does. If anything, physical sensations are very much amplified.

I don't think it would help with pain at all, but I am waiting for some others to chime in! ;~D
