MARIJUANA MAY POINT WAY TO PAIN KILLER

Research suggests scientists may be able to develope a powerful
painkiller modeled on the active ingredient in marijuana.

In rats, a drug that mimics delta-9-tetrahydracannabinol, the main
active ingredient in marijuana, deadens pain like morphine,
researchers at the University of California in San Francisco showed.
The findings indicate that marijuana-like drugs kill pain without
producing the side effects of morphine.
