[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 614249, member: 29023"] I'm in total agreement with the OP. No matter what light the medical profession likes to put on it, strides in managing pain for certain chronic conditions are limited and people suffer without any alternatives to the opiate based meds which cause their own problems. There is the stigma attached to a "drug" like Cannabis, many arguments put against it by the "it'll lead to harder drugs" brigade but let's put that to sleep with one argument. If used wisely and if one is not taking it just to get a buzz, then it can be of great benefit. People do not commit violent crimes to go and get a cannabis "fix" (yep, sarcasm), nor do they find themselves spiralling into an abyss of addiction, nor do they become incapable of rational thought. For some it is the difference between being incapacitated by pain and being able to function. Surely that should count for something? [/QUOTE]
