    The cannabinoids may only have analgesic properties similar to those of weak opioids, but they can do something unique--to rekindle and improve analgesia induced by opioids.

    As discussed in peer-reviewed, scientific journals, the cannabinoids not only enhance opioid-induced pain relief and reduce the dose of opioid medications, but they eliminate tolerance to opioids and reduce the negative side effects of opioid medications as well.

    People die and suffer endlessly as cannabis remains illegal

    (cont)...herself again. So, I think marijuana would be a better pain management drug than pain pills like Vicodin and it should be legalized for that reason.

    (cont)...a teenager and it injured her neck. She didn't know it at the time, but it inverted her neck. She began feeling more and more pain in it about four years ago. After finding out what the problem was, they prescribed Vicodin to her because they couldn't do surgery(there was a very good chance they'd paralyze her). She had to take the pain meds all the time and it completely changed her personality. When my big bro introduced her to marijuana, though, she got rid of the pain and became...

    I think that marijuana is perfectly alright in moderation. When you are under the influence of weed, you tend to not care a lot about other things, so smoking it all the time would inhibit you from functioning properly. However, if you're just sitting at the house by yourself or with friends and you have nothing better to do, go for it.

    I'd also like to say that I think legalizing weed would be a good thing because it helps manage pain. For example, my mother was in a car crash when she was...

    Marijuana has so much healing properties , its only stigmatised so that these drug companies can make people more sick (manufactured pills do more harm than good)

    Anything in excess is bad. If you play video games all day you can't function. I can't study calculus high, some can, good for them. Since I can't, I don't smoke marijuana when I'm about to study. You can't prohibit grown ups from using stuff, it's beneath us regarding our other accomplishments as a highly evolved species, especially if by using whatever it is you're not jeopardising other people (*cough* alcohol).

    Oh yeah and by legalising it, we'd prevent millions of violent crimes worldwide.

    i think this is about the best comment i have seen on this subject matter especially your last comment. plus the fact you need to smoke around 15pounds in about 15 minutes for the effect to become fatal i would say it's near enough impossible.
