Oxycotin? That is a prescribed legal drug - but where is it now - mostly in the hands of people that were not given a prescription for it. It has become one of the hottest street drugs all over - but hey, it's regulated right! I was on this after my emergency c section and honestly didn't think much of it until i stopped taking it- and what a eye opener that was. In that short amount of time my body had become "used" to having it and i hurt like hell for a couple weeks when i stopped taking it. I don't like meds at all, like it even less when i have to take them, but when i feel that kind of "side effect", well, i will never allow that to be in my body again.
I told that short piece for this reason: the only reason pot is looked at so negatively is because it is "illegal". If it had been being used and legal for years how many people's opion would be different? I don't use and would never even try it for Jess, but i do have a very good friend who is a RN who, as an adult, had to have brain surgery to remove a tumor. She now is very familiar with seizures unfortunately - but the tumor is gone and she's alive. All through her chemo and radiation she smoked at the suggestion of another chemo patient. She could finally get through her days and past the nauesa and headaches. Since she is done with those treatments she still occaisionally smokes as she feels it eases her seizure episodes ( she doesn't have daily seizures). But knowing her, i know it was used as a medicine and not a "hobby".
We all have a different view on it, but each person knows their own body and what helps and doesn't. I would rather see people using pot rather than drugs like oxycotin etc. that destroy people.
It amazes me also that on so many of these studies they say they don't have enough info on the affects of pot for pain, seizures etc etc - yet they all have studies to show how bad pot is? Huh? That's usually what happens if all you do is look for the negative. Just the records that show how much it helps should be enough for some study group somewhere to quit counting pencils and look into as a viable medication. etc etc etc
