Certain drugs should not be administered without at least speaking to a pharmacist of someone familiar with the side effects. The rare surgeons and physicians in America that actually care about patients avoid giving opioids, knowing the unpredictable, addictive nature of them with the side effects such as constipation. However, the fake versions are apparently much more dangerous. Therefore legalizing might result in a lot of fat, constipated individuals who lie in bed all day watching Jerry Springer, but that may have been their destiny that Yahweh intended. Anyhow, marijuana should be legalized nationwide. It is better at dealing with pain than opioids, and does a lot of other stuff that is great for the mind and body.
I know several people who now suffer in pain because their doctor won't prescribe the stuff. One is a friends brother who used to get an RX every month for pain control, and now his doctor cut him down. My friend told me he is now considering a street connection to get the meds he used to get under doctors care. So there are two sides to every coin.
Pot doesn't do anything for pain; not like opioids. While it's been quite some time since I smoked the stuff, I remember it amplifying everything including pain. There has to be line somewhere between over prescribing and under prescribing for people who suffer every day of their life.
