I think a lot of people will do pot as pain remedy because the behavior will be normalized. And because they will “feel good”. And once they feel good, they will seek the feeling regularly. Just like eating food that is “sooo goood.”
If one takes Tylenol everyday, one suffers chronic pain in my opinion. Or maybe addiction to low level pain medication. Occasional would once every couple weeks or once a month.
We will see.

Have you never smoked pot? It is not addictive.
Do you think your opinion is as valid as…I dunno, science?
There are a lot of problems associated with too frequent use of both acetaminophen and ibuprofen, but both are highly effective pain relievers and neither is addictive, and neither causes chronic pain. Fortunately, science doesn’t really give a shit about your opinion.
