I read somewhere on the net that 80% of patients using morphine for chronic pain discontinue it because of the the side effects. I have morphine on hand and use it as a last resort because it is constipating as h*ll (just what I need on top of the same caused by ADs) and causes me to itch all over my body. I will take 4 motrin before I opt for the morphine. On the marijauna side, I know more and more people who are using it to help them with chronic pain, some of whom used it regularly recreationally in their youth and have now discovered its pain-relieving properties. This includes myself. ;-)
