New Study Says Marijuana May Provide Chronic Pain Relief
Joe | Aug 30, 2010 | Comments 3
A new study from Canada suggests that marijuana can give those with chronic pain “modest” relief. But if you’re a medical cannabis patient with chronic pain, you know more about this subject.
Patients smoking 9.4 percent THC marijuana reported lower pain scores than when smoking the placebo – on average, 5.4 versus 6.1 on a scale from 0 (“no pain”) to 10 (“worst possible pain”). They also reported that they slept better, and were less anxious and depressed than when they were on the placebo.
I wonder if the people who do these studies know there are already tens of thousands of chronic pain sufferers finding relief with cannabis. Don’t get me wrong, these folks probably get grants and funding for this research, and this employs people. That’s great.
My point is that there are case studies of the properties of medical marijuana everywhere. We highlight many of these people here on our website and in The 420 Times magazine. They know the wonders of cannabis. If you are a medical marijuana patient, we want to know your story. Hit me up at joe@the420times.com.

For marijuana to be (or become)medically admissible it needs to go through controlled studies. Same as any other prescription drug.
The ones that keep paying for these studies are the ones that don’t want marijauna to be medically accepted.Or fully legalized.They keep trying to find whats bad about it.So they can dismiss it from being medically accepted or legalized out right.It’s been proven over and over to have medicinal properties.I think the reason is ,it’s all you need once you get it you don’t have as much medical cost and you do’nt need to go back to get presciption after presciption
With medical marijuana live a HEALTHY,HONEST,INDEPENDANT Life style.
