Currently in Florida people with back, neck, and many other injuries are treated with powerful drugs called Roxicodone, Morphine, Diladid, and many many more!. The doses people are taking are incredibly high. Some does are as high are 7 per day. Please see: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/569913.
Many doctors start patients at very high levels rather than slowly raise the dosing. By allowing these people with these injuries to partake Cannibals/Marijuana in conjunctions with these potentially lethal and addictive medication, it not only removes the need for Xanax (Alprolazam-generic), which is very dangerous when mixed with Opiates.
Marijuana has been known to help with many disorders ranging from pain, to insomnia, to muscle relaxing; please see: http://guyism.com/lifestyle/10-major-health-benefits-of-medical-marijuana.html.
Please help legalize the medical use of this life saving medication that come from nature and is no way chemically created and so far has no known pharmaceutical interactions.
Opiates and other drugs and many to most Pharmaceuticals carry the overdose limit. Marijuana has never cases a documented case of overdose.
Quoting http://www.cannabisculture.com/v2/articles/2093.html; The Drug Awareness Warning Network Annual Report, published by the US federal government contains a statistical compilation of all drug deaths which occur in the United States.
According to this report, there has never been a death recorded from the use of marijuana by natural causes. No one knows the total number of deaths caused by enforcement of marijuana prohibition laws.
Unlike opiates, barbiturates or amphetamines, there seems to be little risk from the use of large amounts of marijuana. When a person smokes too much s/he feels very tired and lies down to enjoy a soothing nap or sleep. I call it "overtoking".
Many doctors currently prescribe many of those medications at the same time. When mixing an opiate, such as Oxycontin, and a anti-anxiety, such as xanax, and a anti ADD/ADHD medication, such as amphetamine, there create a very dangerous combination. By substituting marijuana for the xanax for sleep and the amphetamines for ADD/ADHD can greatly reduces overdose.
Recommendation of legalizing Medical Marijuana for people seeing pain doctors to help reduce the chances of mixing many different medication that, when taken together, can cause death.
Mixing marijuana with any of the medications given out by pain doctors is harmless. It actually helps the medication work better reducing the amounts needed as well as eliminate some of the medications that interact with pain medication, which can cause death!
