Oxycodone is right up there with heroin or morphine, just slightly less potent. Any doctor, medical specialist, or anybody with some knowledge on the matter can tell you that oxy is a more addictive, potentially more harmful, and much stronger high of a drug. Not to mention that it doesn't reduce the inflamation that your grandmother needs to have reduced, it only blocks the pain receptors. THC will actually physically help her with the disease, not just cover it up.

But damn, if your grandma get on the weed I'll glady that that oxycodone off her hands. It pisses me off my docs won't give me something stronger than Tramadol, but I guess being a 21 year old white male makes me look like more of a potential drug abuser than an old lady. *sigh* isn't special treatment based on stereotypes wonderful?
mrdevious Reviewed by mrdevious on . Grandma in Pain I need some ideas about how to get my oma (dutch for grandma) to use marijuana for the pain she is in. She has severe arthritis and tendonitis in both of her arms, and has been prescribed Oxycodon for her pain. She cannot sleep for longer than an hour at a time because the pain wakes her up. She isn't very old, and is very active and otherwise very healthy for her age. Arthritis and tendonitis won't kill her, but the decrease in the quality of her life and the meds she has been prescribed Rating: 5
