Why don't we ask NFL players
what they prefer? They'd have a pretty good idea about the constant physical pain that accompanies playing in the NFL. Let me guess: You don't care what their opinion is, because they know the risks when they sign up.
Nah, why don't we ask people
that have tried everything to handle pain management but cannabis/cannabinoids was the only effective treatment?
Nah, why don't we ask people that have extreme epilepsy if cannabis derived substances
have worked where opoids/others have failed? Never mind that your attorney general doesn't even want medical marijuana to be legal.
My only point was that medical marijuana has shown to be effective, and less addictive than opoids. But opoids are legal, and have the backing of a multi-billion dollar industry, which is a big reason why marijuana is not. I'm not gonna argue that average people that enjoy getting high need it, just that it should be legal and regulated on the same basis as alcohol so we can all share that nice boost of tax revenue we would see if it was federally legalized.
