Anyone who smokes pot and says she doesn't get high is a liar. She's continuously stoned. She claims it helps chronic pain?
No, it doesn't. Anyone who thinks it does has a different problem (in their head) I do suffer from chronic pain, and smoking pot does not help in the least. What it does help with is people who have trouble eating. (it gives you the munchies) A bad effect is it makes those who suffer from depression, MORE depressed, and overall, makes users lazy.

I think what some are considering "chronic pain" falls fall short of the meaning. "Psychological chronic pain" is probably a more accurate diagnosis. It exists only in their mind. I know alot of chronic pain sufferers, and I mean people with real chronic pain, from smashed joints, broken bones, and ruptured disc's, arthritis, cancer. None of them have found relief from smoking dope, other than 'it relax's them'. That may help muscle aches I suppose.
