The thing is that people seem to insist that people are using Marijuana just to get high. If anyone has been in any excruciating amount of pain then they can attest that alot of the "high" is instantly sucked out.

Recently I had very *serious* intestinal pain (reason I was off the boards for 3 weeks or so). I smoked a hellacious amount of cannabis for the pain. Majority of the high was taken out and I only received a slight buzz (I probably smoked about 3-4 oz in this time frame.. almost 4 times what I normally smoke).

I wish there was a way to determine how high people were that are taking it for legitimate reason. I know that the pain sucks most of the "recreational" portion of the drug out.
