But if you have cannabis without the high, you could use that instead and be safer.

I’d love to have the option as a medical marijuana user. Not as punishment for having pain, but for having more options.

    Your parent comment resonated with me, I get that knee jerk reaction about punishing pain. But yeah I can begrudgingly admit that I would use this if it was available for driving and such.

    Fortunately I don’t have really bad pain and the opiates I take if I need to are very mild.

    There’s a bit of cynicism in my comment, I’m in Australia so any excuse my governments can find to destroy enjoyment gained as an extra, they’ll do it.

    At the end of the day anything we can do with cannabis extracts that help people in any way id support, including this
