It can be used responsibly. But anyone who has impulse control issues should be in therapy, not drug seeking. MJ should be legal now. Everyone who seeks these drugs would have a legal alternative and get what they need from a few puffs. The worst that happens if you smoke to much MJ is you eat everything in the refrig and crash on the couch w a quart of ice cream. No ones dies, and generally folks can say no to it, unlike the upper tier pain meds.(USUALLY...for those who like to nit pick.)
I remember getting my molars out, the dr gave me Tylox, I'll never forget it. I FELT like going back, but, if you are wise, you know when you're standing on the precipice. People feel hopeless nowadays, and they just don't care.
Very few people under 30 have backs so bad they require continuous pain meds like that. Go to the gym.
