"In case you weren't aware of the situation, "pain" can be a serious medical condition that adversely affects the lives of the sufferers."

True. It is also the hardest to prove or disprove, making the marijuana recommendation quite easy to get.

"She lives in Oakland, CA"

Now, why was I not surprised when I got to this part?

There's something about Oakland, CA., maybe something in the air or in the water, where standard prescription medication just does not work. The only medication that does seem to work, and work really well, is smoked marijuana.

Funny, isn't it? Gotta love anecdotal stories.

If justice prevails you will feel much pain in your life which you cannot prove.

Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Matthew 5:10
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

It's especially interesting how you managed to ignore LOTS OF OTHER ITEMS included in my post. As I mentioned before, she worked with pain specialists, which is how she got the Rx for oxycontin. That's not exactly a drug that's easy to come by, if you're "faking it." The government looks long and hard at Drs who give Rx for oxycontin, especially over long periods of time (for her, it was nearly two years). And she started smoking MJ long before she ever moved to Oakland. She started while she lived in DesMoines, IA, and continued with a Rx from a Dr when she moved to CA.

Finally, "anecdotal" DOES NOT MEAN IT'S NOT TRUE! Of course, you're welcome to call me a liar when I say that I've seen her in pain without meds, using her "legitimate" perscribed drugs, and when she's using MJ. And in all three cases, she's far better off when she's using MJ. But, feel free to discount all I say, and call me a liar, since this is just my experience, another way to say, "anecdotal."
