>>>Personally, I think there must be other drugs that can be used for pain management. The data supports my theory that MM is a ruse. Cali and Colo "MM" users number in the hundreds of thousands. I find it extremely hard to believe there are that many people who have a real need for pain management. This whole issue is being driven by dopers who just want an excuse to fire up a Texas Tornado!
