I know a lot of people who claim it is effective for reducing pain. And that it works well even when other pain medications are ineffective.

However, nearly all of those same people will balk at taking Marijuana-based medication that does not get you high (no THC) even though it is supposed to be as effective as a medicine...
I always thought the THC was the painkiller?

Likewise when it comes to dealing with pain there is something to be said about both killing the pain and becoming ignorant of it. Many drug do one or the other. Fibromialgia drugs for example just make you ignorant and disconnected so you don't care about the pain.

Sounds like both bases are covered on maryjane, no idea how I would get my father out there though.

With a republican in the Governors office in wisconsin the likelyhood of medical mary jane is about as likely as a real reduction in taxes on the middle and lower classes (including fees).

Ah well.
