I do smoke pot to relieve pain in my left knee as I have severe arthritis in it, as I can't take chemical pain killers because I am allergic to them.

Surely you can't be allergic to every single painkiller on the market?

Each person is going to have a different tollerance level to that activity. You are not going to get a consensus/blanket answer that will work for all. So what is your point, OP?

I don't see why not; at least it's all natural... I think people should be free in this choice; where I come from it's legal anyway peace

Strangely enough it is possible to be allergic to painkillers, or even resistant to them as I am.....They don't work on me at all.

However.....opiates do not work as painkillers for everyone either, (pot, morphine etc,) as in my case too......

Sometimes people just use them as a good excuse to use, not necesarily because they work to kill pain, and they are addictive.

i would probably still smoke pot if it was available in the supermarket or at the corner shop but i'm too lazy. i can't be bothered with all the hassle it takes to score and i don't want to spend time with drug dealers either. most of them are mumbling, delusional idiots.

A new study reveals that some short women have a gene linked to longevity. Could the findings help all of us live longer?

Sorry to have to tell you this, but only amputation at the knees won't turn you into a short WOMAN!

Well, I'm actually allergic to paracetamol and the other ones I have become immune to. There is virtually no cartilage remaining in the knee joint, it creaks as I walk along!
Dope seems to be the only thing that relieves the pain, I do take fish oil twice a day, but that can only do so much. The good thing is that the only time I need to smoke it is when the pain level hits an 8-9, as I have a high tolerance for pain.
It isn't medicinal cannabis either, I buy mine off dealer like all the others do, except I don't need to smoke it every single day - although I have done that a few times, over a period of a week or so when it has been really, really sore.
My GP actually said it probably isn't such a bad idea many years ago, besides my knee isn't the only thing that gives me trouble either :(

I like weed. I think every day can be a crutch. Depending on the person. I do not smoke any longer. I know I will smoke when I am older . I plan to use it for the pain as well as for listening to music, and just relaxing. I love weed. I must say I know from experience it is a gateway drug. Thats why depending on the person. Weed, lsd, coke , heroin, speed, etc. so please be careful.angel

Been there, done that. Doesn't really interest me much anymore, but, hey, whatever "floats your boat!" Your decision, and yours alone. I am curious, though, about those of you who really smoke pot to relieve pain symptoms. To my way of thinking, pot would be about the LAST thing I'd want to take if I was in any kind of pain. Would think it would intensify the sensation, not dull it. Not the case, I take it. How come?? For me, pot always seemed to heighten your senses not dull them. confused dunno
