People are so uneducated about marijuana it's infuriating. My mom has chronic backpain and she refuses to take prescribed painkillers because she finds them addictive and they make her drowsy - so she can't work while taking them. And that's not the worst part; some of the side-affects of the painkillers suggested to her were: thoughts of suicide and depression.

Not only are those fucking legal, but they were reccomended by doctors. Marijuana would help her so much: non-drowsy, makes you happier and would relieve her back pain. But she can't use it because it's illegal in our state. I guess she'll have to settle for the addictive, depression inducing medication instead or hope the pain doesn't get too bad.
