Narcotic pain meds are more effective at relieving serious pain than marijuana is. That's not to say that marijuana has no effect. It's a comparison and it isn't close. This is my main point. That said, anyone who has some experience leading them to believe that marijuana is just as effective as an opiate-based pain reliever most likely hasn't experienced real pain. I'll leave open the possibility that they've experienced real pain but haven't experienced real pain relief instead or that they've got a mental problem preventing them from drawing rational conclusions.

He had a whipple 8 years ago, 2 years is the life expectancy after that. Plus is diabetic and lost most of a leg last year, had a rehab nurse put him in a coma twice in a week...
And doesn't like to take the pills anymore since they just kept giving him them and basically had him strung out right after his surgery. Sorry but yeah I've seen this shit first hand, I'm probably a little bitter. Plus the guy who was a customer telling me his scam... |

I'm still laughing at the "real pain" argument.
I've broken bones, hit the webbing between my thumb and forefinger with a hammer while holding a cv shaft and split it so bad I could hold my hand open and see through the hole, got fish hooked in an eye so bad there wasn't any white in it for six weeks, broken most my fingers and toes, set my own nose multiple times, gashed my head open to where the blood was shooting several feet away. And never needed pills. Hell I've only had stitches once and it was a minor cut that my boss at the time MADE me go in for and got 2 stitches over it. I was embarrassed. Super glue works wonders. Trust me on that. Oh and smashed fingers MANY MANY MANY times so bad I've lost literally every nail at least once and drilled through more than I can count just for relief. That might be the worst pain except for when I tore my ACl which a chiropractor customer of mine (don't go to then either) confirmed. Pain was probably a toss up. Especially when I would roll over at night and my leg would flop over too. Almost piss your pants bad. But no pills then either. I'm sure I know all about pain. You just have to be mentally tough enough to cope. |

There are several of us pitching in, he's in Texas right now with my sister. My step mom passed suddenly and we all weren't really ready, every one just knew he would go first. Life is crazy.

If you deal with pain by chewing on a leather strap, great. That's not relevant to the comparison of opiates vs pot though. But I will tell you that opiates are better at pain relief than that leather strap too.

I see you edited that post, and I can't see how it was even me being a dick.

The "dick" part comes from you continuing to "laugh" at a statement that was misunderstood and then clarified. What you're laughing at is a misconception of what was said.

It's all subjective. I agree marijuana probably doesn't work as well at killing pain, BUT the trade off isnt significant enough to me to make taking them worth it. |

I have no problem with that. That's a personal decision.
