"Right - it's not a pain killer." I suddenly realize you must be joking. Just in case: Here .. pubmed search of cannabis and pain: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 508 results. When I said 80% that was based on our survey. Eighty percent of long term opiate pain patients completely got off the opiates.

But that's a shift in discussion from therapeutic use to palliative.
