America on Drugs

[Zosimus]

I am very much an anti-pain type of person, but I try to endure as much pain as I can before resorting to medication/pain-killers. I hardly ever go to see a doctor but then when I did, all the trouble started: First, I went to see the dentist (for the first time in 6 years). He gave me "Vicodin" for pain/new crown. Then I went to see a doctor about my back, he prescribed me "Lodeine". I started having this gross gastric reaction known as "acid reflux", and they gave me "aciphex"...and on top of these, I take Tylenols for headaches and such other "minor" pains. Of information I've been able to find that is positive toward Marijuana (scientifically studied reports) that is really hard to come by (no thanks to our laws on this area!). I heard and read that MJ can help with alot of minor pains and as a bonus had no side-effects vs. other pain killers.
And El Blanco, I agree with you, it is a personal matter, and (if anything) should be treated like alcohol....
