Must be a very short study as legal marijuana hasn’t been around very long

Now, pot is legal in Washington state.

I have a bit of pot that was left to me from a friend - before it was “legal”.

I smoke it occasionally to relieve pain or tiredness.

Now since it has become legal, I actually went to a pot store and bought some.
It sits on my coffee table.
Unopened.

My point is, if it were as addictive as people say, then by now it would be long gone.

But it’s effectiveness as an analgesic/pain killer is undisputed. And welcome.

the Schedule 1 status of marijuana is outdated

It never was outdated. It was put there to re-enslave the slaves. That's one of the reasons it was put there. Cannabis can also be grown as an ethanol crop. Potentially ending our ME oil dependence. But that doesn't fit in with the NWO plans to make islam powerful enough to enslave mankind for them.

if pain relief is knocking ya out without killing or abusing your body organs, or committing you to a life of ‘addiction’ aka chemical intervention in search of relief.. knock me out. just blow me fumes from some old thai stick or ‘lumbo and spare me the gutbomb meds..

“”This provides strong evidence that the observed shifts in prescribing patterns were in fact due to the passage of the medical marijuana laws,” they write.

In a news release, lead author Ashley Bradford wrote, “The results suggest people are really using marijuana as medicine and not just using it for recreational purposes.”

All it means is that pot is cheaper than Rx pain killers.

Sort out all the welfare leeches that get FREE Medicaid drugs and see what you get.

meh

Prescribing fewer doses since people are not Doctor shopping to keep their addiction going. Pot is not benign Als it does not tell us what happens to illegal pres riot ion and street drug use

As usual they have data that is not as meaningful as they think

Marijuana is classified as a class 1 drug. Class 1 drugs aren’t allowed to be tested on humans, class 2 and 3 are.

Cocaine and Heroine are class 2 drugs.

That tells you why the Rockefellers and others don’t want marijuana testing. I don’t smoke it but do think where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Test it.

They found that, in the 17 states with a medical-marijuana law in place by 2013...

That number has risen to 25. Trump supports medical marijuana and said outright legalization should be decided state-by-state.

Marijuana prohibition is dead in America.

Must be a result of the new Fed narcotic laws where you now need a script every month. It has really hit those of us with chronic pain hard. When they reduced the Tylenol in Loretabs and they became NORCO they became useless for pain control. And POT only gets you high so you forget you are in pain, not that it stops pain. Smoking it can give you lung cancer. DUH!

Doctors are pushing high cost Lyrica and Neurontin (generic gabapentin, which are HIGHLY addictive with a ton of horrid side effects. 50% of Lyrica users end up quitting it because of the side effects. Per my Pain Management Doc who retired rather than be forced to practice under DUMBOCARE.

Lyrica and these are only the stated side effects, weight gain was one of the highest reported side effects, but it also makes your hair fall our and kills your LIBIDO. http://www.rxlist.com/lyrica-side-effects-drug-center.htm

Neurontin is no better. http://www.rxlist.com/neurontin-drug.htm
