Medicinal cannabis is NOT as effective at relieving chronic pain as thought, four-year study reveals

Enjoy those painpills when you are suffering from liver failure in about 20 years.

Why would u smoke a hallucinogenic to relieve pain
Morans

Idiot weedtards who think homeopathy cannabis oil and smoking weed works instead of medically approved drugs.

I will lay it out for you.

Cannabis is not a pain killer.
however Cannabis works well for pain relief.

so you may be thinking its some placebo effect. Thats close but not exactly how it works.

The way it works is Pain is in the mind. Pot distracts the mind and the pain goes unnoticed.

In your experiment the subjects knew they were being observed. They were prompted to focus on the pain in order to rate it which completely negates the pots effect.

the cbd oil without the thc is not as good.

still better than round up.

Idiot! It doesn't exactly match the different pain mechanisms. It's up to you to learn meditation techniques to enhance the meds you're using.

Cannabis helps you get to that place

I hurt my back a couple of times and had to take

morphine for my pain. makes you high but really

doesnt to shit for the pain except make you not care

Cannabis helps the mind focus and at the same time blocks out the surroundings.

That is why gamer's say they easily get in the "zone" and play their best when high.

Makes sense that the pain would increase if they are focusing on it while high.

enjoy your many side effects, and addiction of your approved man-made drugs...

I take morphine, tramadol and gabapentin in high doses everyday.

DOES Not make me high but relieves the pain.

I wouldn't trust a biased "study". Ask people who smoke it. They'll tell you.

it is natural

still better than made made chemical chains with ridiculous side effects....

People who use pain killers can never get help from pot. The high is too hard to overcome for weed. The problem is not the weed it’s the mind using it. You would have to get clean first for weed to help. I am not advocating pot either. Both do more damage then good.

"The new study was funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council - a branch of the Australian Department of Health."


Bought and paid for.

and causes psychosis...

...I'd rather have my brain fuctioning than smoke that crap

Are for fucking real?

You've been coming here spouting this shit for weeks now.

Who do you work for?

Nobody.

I am disabled and cant work.

How is your swollen colon performing these days?

Fuck off eejit.

What do you mean?

I take stool softeners.

Well if Australian researchers reported it and it's in the Daily Mail it must be true.

Who cares about giving people the choice.

You still have a choice you tard.

I use cbd without thc and it actually helps. Not as good as a narcotic pain med, but at least it helps.

CBD with very low, or barely any THC- pain reliever, does not get you 'high'

kava kava root, turmeric and also diatomaceous earth works well too

I find it comical you believe everything you read. First hand experience is the key! So, you're ignorant and think BigPharma has your back. Fuck'in wake up!

Naproxen +Acetomenaphine is better than weed and opiods at least for me.

Tumeric! Omega-3/6 in Fishy Supplements! Avoid gluten if you can!

Naproxen destroys your stomach lining. I had to stop taking naproxen and cant really take any anti-inflamitories.

The 1500 subjects before the study, were already taking morphine. Then they asked "did marijuana make you want to stop using morphine"?

aimed to recruit until we reached 1500 participants. Recruitment took place from August 13, 2012, to April 8, 2014. Participants were aged 18 years or older, living with chronic non-cancer pain (defined in this study as pain lasting longer than 3 months), taking prescribed schedule 8 opioids (including fentanyl, morphine, oxycodone, buprenorphine, methadone, and hydromorphone) for chronic non-cancer pain for longer than 6 weeks, competent in English, mentally and physically able to participate in telephone and self-complete interviews, and did not have any serious cognitive impairments, as determined by the interviewer at the time of screening. A history of injecting drug use was not an exclusion criterion...

This kind of political research is HOGWASH!

Suck a dick, shill.

low IQ minions like OP will eat that shit up, though.
