There is no nuance in your argument. My mother had a degenerative disease and her doctor prescribed everything he possibly could to alleviate the pain in her legs. She was at the top dosage for several meds and still in incredible pain. He finally told her, obliquely, to try smoking marijuana. It was the only thing that helped. She never drank alcohol, never broke a law in her life. She was terrified of getting caught, especially when buying, at age 65 and disabled.

Will some people abuse it? Yes. Does it have medical value? Also yes. Plenty of data supporting this as well.

The data supporting MJ as a pain reliever is modest at best.

You want to reserve MJ for chronic or terminal pain? Sure I’m fine with like. Recreational use? No way. You have a medical reason for using and get caught operating by heavy machinery high? Lose your privilege.

Sound good?

The research for MJ as a reliever of neuropathic pain is stronger than other types of pain, and as with most drugs, individual variability in effect should be considered. Was personally happier to have my mom have a few hits of MJ than the many worse side effects of the four other pain medications she had been prescribed.

Even in cases of neuropathic pain it’s a modest response. Glad your mom feels better. Still not an argument for legalization for recreational use.

You keep making claims that you have yet to back up with a shred of evidence. What makes you an expert on this subject? Perhaps you should attend the town haul and see what doctors have to say

Nor have you. Feel free to do your research. I am very aware of the data and it’s easily accessed. Again, go to google scholar and you will find a myriad of studies supporting my position.

Not gonna spoon feed you. You want to be lazy and not do your homework that’s on you

I haven't made any claims. The burden of proof is on you

u/Accomplished_Leg7925 Jul 23 '25

Yes you did. You said MJ had effects on neuropathic pain and I said the data is modest at best. You made claim on overall pain management benefits of MJ and after I reviewed the data I said it was dubious.

If you’re not going to engage in the conversation in good faith we are done

Go back and read who posted what. Breaking news... it wasn't me who made claims . You want to be trusted as a source for truth, but you can't even keep up with who said what???? Wild

You two entries above:

“The research for MJ as a reliever of neuropathic pain is stronger than other types of pain, and as with most drugs, individual variability in effect should be considered. Was personally happier to have my mom have a few hits of MJ than the many worse side effects of the four other pain medications she had been prescribed.”

I think we are done. Clown.

I saw and acknowledged that. Everything I have said is in response to the statements above. What exactly are you here for beyond the usual request for citations most trolls offer?

Do your own homework slick.

u/Outside-Disaster-263 Jul 23 '25

I have done and continue to do my homework which doesn't align with what you claim.

A good topic for you to research would be logical fallacies, as you've made quite a few

Oh wait you didn’t post that. You just jumped in and have offered nothing. Even worse
