Do You Think It’s Silly That Tobacco Is Legal While Marijuana Is Not?
Question by mutterhals: Do you think it’s silly that tobacco is legal while marijuana is not?
“An exhaustive search of the literature finds no credible reports of deaths induced by marijuana. The US Drug Abuse Warning Network records instances of drug mentions in medical examiners’ reports, and though marijuana is mentioned, it is usually in combination with alcohol or other drugs. Marijuana alone has not been shown to cause an overdose death” – Quote via the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Administration

Would a Doctor Help Me if My Job Causes Severe Muscle and Back Pain?
Question by Go Ask: Would a doctor help me if my job causes severe muscle and back pain?
I work in a meat market (family business) and 3 days a week I come home in such excruciating pain from lifting thousands of pounds. And every Wednesday I usually get cuts on my fingers from lifting plastic tubs that are filled with meat. The plastic digs into my skin and breaks the skin in one spot on my finger.
On those 3 days a week I get home and I can’t hardly move due to the back pain and muscle pain. Sleeping is becoming very difficult. My back pain wakes me up at 2:00AM and I usually can’t get back to sleep. I’ve taken to drinking a lot of brandy to help the pain, but if I drink enough of it to help then my boss complains about me showing up the next day with alcohol on my breath, and I’m not working as fast as I could be when I’m still a little drunk. Over-the-counter NSAID’s don’t help.
