Are you claiming, without evidence, that cannabis is cheaper and
safer than all other pain killers?
I don't know about Bruno but I am claiming i
n the entire history of the world there is not
been
one confirmed case
of
death by marijuana
overdose, the same can not be said of aspirin. In addition
,
recent studies have found that after states in the USA legalized
marijuana
overdose deaths
from opioids
DECREASED by 25%.
O
xycodone
used for chronic pain can kill you but
marijuana
can not, and it's only a unfortunate historical accident that
alcohol is socially acceptable but
cannabis is
not.
(1) There are a lot of other painkillers and (2) marijuana is not
equally effective as oxycodone and (3) in many states and nations
doctors can prescribe marijuana just as they can other pain killers.
And I'm 100% in favor of legalizing marijuana and have been for decades
- not because I think it has any amazing medical powers, but because
"the war on (some) drugs" is a civil rights disaster, screwing up
people's lives right and left and distorting law enforcement (c.f. civil
forefiture).

By the way, I have never smoked a
marijuana
cigarette in my life, so far I've never had the need but if I ever
get cancer I would certainly start with a joint before I moved onto
O
xycodone
.
