They will do anything to justify their use of the drug. On the other hand, marijuana users do not develop a tolerance. Seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it?

I am blown away by the age of your Mom & sister when they died, <i>they were so young</i>. I have struggled with how <i>fast</i> cancer took my Mom. I live in a different state than my folks and I only got to spend 5 days with her before she died. After reading your comments, I can't even imagine what you and your family must have gone through holding it together after losing <i>two</i> family members to cancer. I don't know your age but I hope that with your family medical history that you routinely have testing and check-ups. ***I agree about legalizing MJ, medical or not*** @Trillion, my heart breaks for you, I am so sorry.

My bro has Crohn's disease and there is only one way he can keep weight on and live with his pain: Medical MJ. (he's not a pot smoker but used marisol pills) We live in Cali where we voted to legalize this but the feds won't let it be. Waste of $ for busting cannabis clubs, waste of $ using drugs instead of an herb. Baho: yes yes yes.

My mom died of cancer at age 55 only 8 weeks after diagnosis. She had a rotten doc, whom we later found out had been sued for malpractice in other states. My sister died of cancer at age 41, also 8 weeks after diagnosis, after suffering a sort of "garden variety" back pain. She refused pain meds but her shitty doctor (damn HMO) kept making her feel like it was all in her head. She paid out of pocket for a different doc and he looked at her xray and, right then and there, told her she was riddled with adeno-carcinoma, a rapidly metastasizing cancer. I'm not so trustful of doctors these days... This is not about Oxycontin but I want to say to Daisy that hers a horrible story and my heart goes out to you.

It's all mangled looking and looks like it's fraying a little. Regarding the Coach purse, I’m quite certain it’s a fake. It’s all mangled looking and looks like it’s fraying a little.

What a terrible burden for both you and your family. My deepest condolences, and cyber-hugs. CeeJay - I may not be formally trained from a medical standpoint, but I have friends who are dead and relationships that are buried under the weight of an Oxycontin addiction. I've done <i>a lot</i> of independent research on the subject from psycho-physiological and legal standpoints, in conjunction with the tearful, sleepless nights I've spent in bed with a man I loved who became a stranger to me. It is heartwrenching. <i>In my opinion</i>, prescribing Oxycontin for long-term pain management is irresponsible and dangerous. Bear in mind - I'm not slamming the patients who take Oxy under doctor's orders, I'm just questioning the motive of the individuals who prescribe Oxy for relief. It is a highly addictive narcotic that ruins your nervous system (which in turn destroys your immune system - counterintuitive for most people seeking medical help). There are other alternatives to chronic pain management that are far more copasetic to the physiology and healing process (Baho happened to mention one of my favorite). That's just my opinion. But my opinion is just as valid as yours. Don't take that away from me. Daisy – terribly sorry to hear of it. What a terrible burden for both you and your family. My deepest condolences, and cyber-hugs.

No matter what they say about the 'dangers' of pot, alcohol destroys godknowshowmany lives, but it's acceptable and legal. Bullshit. Talk about hypocrisy - and stupidity.

THC has known medical benefits, grows like a weed (tee-hee), and anybody can produce it, just like tomatoes. It's my firm belief that the paramilitary operations that keep us from growing our own little medicinal herb are directly responsible for the rise in meth and other trash of that ilk - to the detriment of society in general. Not to mention how many ordinary citizens are turned into criminals because of ridiculous federal regulations concerning its use/production. Also not to mention the majority of Americans agree pot should be decriminalized. Democracy, anyone? Hello? Anyone? Baho, ain’t it the truth?
