As for opioids, we just did a focus group study with doctors (not directly aimed at opioids), and the biggest issue they mentioned with the opioid issue is that there's no way to keep track of the prescriptions a person has from different doctors. It's not uncommon at all for someone to have a major injury that requires multiple specialists, and all of them end up prescribing pain meds. That gets out of hand real quick.

Anyone who finds marijuana effective at relieving their pain (or making them care about it enough less that it isn't an issue), hasn't experienced real pain.

In September of 2003, I had a serious bullriding wreck that almost killed me. I spent time in the Ft. Worth hospital and was given pain meds. The meds made me sick so I said that I'd just tough it out and deal with the pain. I was released from the hospital two weeks later and the doctor gave me a prescription for pain killers that was refillable for the next YEAR. I told him I didn't need it, but he insisted. I got one prescription filled and it's still in a drawer in the bathroom completely full.

There are ways to monitor prescription drug use. In fact, most states have a prescription drug monitoring. It doesn't work if someone is crossing state lines, but a national database would enable such tracking.

You claim to know what real pain is and isn't, and that someone who achieves relief with cannabis doesn't have "real pain". You can't make that claim without experiencing someone else's pain. It's ignorant. Furthermore, you have no scientific knowledge to support your inference. You don't know the mechanism of action of the drugs in question, nor can you speak to their efficacy. In short, shut up, because you're talking out of your ass.
