    Isn't medical marijuana technically the cheap, quick, easy alternative to opioids?

      Not really. The analgesic effects of cannabis don't come close to opiates. I live in NorCal and actually grow medical cannabis for a collective. There are members of the collective who claim that they don't do opiates because of the availability of cannabis, and I think that's great. However, my personal experience with back surgery and pain is that cannabis may help me forget about it for a while, but the pain is still there.
