[QUOTE="Cowman, post: 3125882, member: 344"] As a Paramedic, I have given Ketamine for pain control. Military has used it for several years in the sand wars. It works well. And, for the most part fairly safe. Maybe safer than opioids. Maintains blood pressure and respiratory drive. There is some data that smoking mj is not great for the heart. It seems that some young people are developing blockages of the arteries of the heart. Only history is regular use of mj. So if I had family history of cardiac. I might consider this. Not sure there is enough data to refute or how edibles and oil effect. Also heavy users can develop uncontrollable nausea. I think I will vote yes. There are older folks on pain meds that I think would benefit from its use in some form. Older people on opioids for pain control. Can get constipated which then leads to a host of problems. I have had people that have died on the toilet. From straining so hard they vagaled out the heart. Or they passed out and fell off the toilet. Can raise the ammonia levels and give altered mental status. [/QUOTE]
