Agreed
In a lot of cases smoking will ease the cough. Addiction is a terrible thing.

I have only once in my entire life been so ill that I couldn't smoke a joint to make myself better. I tried but it made me feel like I was going to die. Funnily enough, if I hadn't been taken to hospital when I was I actually would've died within a couple of hours.

I always find the smoking joints helps ;-)

It was when I got diagnosed with diabetes
I was pretty fucked, and in typical fashion refusing to go to hospital because 'I'll be alright when I've had a lie down and a joint' (completely wrong!)

Got dragged into a car by a couple of mates.

When I got to hospital my blood sugar was so high that the machines they had there wouldn't read it. Apparently I'm quite hard to kill.

Really fucked my foot up a few years back
Really mangled it.

Prescription painkillers made me feel fucking awful. Nothing sorted out the pain like a nice fat jazz cigarette.

Yep
Weed is definitely the best painkiller. And has fewer side effects than most of the prescription shit. Shame the Daily Mail-reading Middle Englanders get so up in arms every time allowing medical use of it is suggested.

Yet there never seems to be any kind of
"Let's stop giving morphine to cancer patients 'cuz it's like heroin..." debate.

How true
Never occurred to me, that.
