Is it wrong to self medica te yourself for pain with marijuana when pain pills are not working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly controversial: in medical circles but considering that about half of our states have passed medical marijuana laws, there is certainly a large group of folks who believe that it can help. One problem is that the quality and consistency of marijuana outside of those dispensaries is uncertain, and it is best if it is not taken in by smoking - oral ingestion of edibles or volatilizers. There are risks/side effects
