So true that the pain diminishes the high! That was true for my sister. So did the smoking help alleviate your abdominal pain? I'm guessing so. In what people report from the use of medicinal cannabis, at least for nausea, it doesn't take very much to treat their symptoms. And when it's used for pain, it can be very complementary with prescription painkillers, requiring people to use fewer of those, which, of course, are hard on the liver and cause other side effects.

I think medical experts need not to look so askance at the whole getting high aspect in the first place. So many of them want to develop pain medicines that don't muddle people's minds or they question medicinal cannabis because of the "stoned" factor. I personally think that when people are sick, whether terminally or not, there's plenty of justification for some muddling or stonedness. Part of why medicinal cannabis helped my sister was that it also helped alleviate the reality of what was happening to her because it did make her high. This opinion goes against much of mainstream medical thinking, but I think being high is, in many cases for medical patients, a good, well indicated thing. Sometimes cannabis intoxication, as they officially term it, is perfectly acceptable. Like when you have a dreadful disease.
