Yes, and people who are dying and in pain have choices of other drugs. When this was in the experimental stages in the 70's, my dad was dying from cancer in a VA hospital. They gave him pot to smoke whenever he wanted to alleviate the pain. I can tell you that it really didn't help him. All it did was make him numb to what was happening around him.
When my mom die two years ago of cancer, also, she was given morphine and some other drugs to keep her comfortable and in as little pain as possible. That worked much better, yet she was coherent for periods and recognized and could converse with me for short periods.
I have come to the conclusion that people who are fighting for medical marijuana as a pain reliever are addicted to it. There are many drugs out there that work far better for pain relief.
