I look forward to it: More states are (hopefully) considering the legalization of medical marijuana. It seems to be true (as you say) that it is far superior to opiate pain medication. It has further benefits beyond pain management too, but research has been almost impossible to do so far. I'm sure there will be problems - everything humans do has problems - but it will be an improvement, imho.

I am an : Anesthesiologist and I am not against the control use of medical marijuana. My problem is that m is the 3rd most popular recreational drug in usa. And many teenager are using a non medical strain that is, in my opinion, damaging their brains. Everything in excess is no good. Please watch dr sanjay gupta report at cnn press room.
