MARIJUANA CAN ALLEVIATE PAINS

The main reason anyone asks to be euthanized is pain. If medical
marijuana were more widely available, the whole issue of euthanasia
would be moot. And, yes, marijuana certainly can alleviate pains that
even huge doses of morphine cannot because it acts differently on the
nervous system and brain.
