I at no point disagreed with your claim that weed helps with pain. Furthermore, the person you responded to did not claim that weed is ineffective for pain, he merely expressed surprise.

Based on my own experience (and that of other weed smokers), I can confirm that weed heightens sensations, paranoia, and appetite, and it's not so weird to conclude that this might not be too compatible with a toothache.

And finally, unless I missed it, your study in fact does not appear to claim that weed helps with toothaches. My own experience is that it doesn't really help much with toothaches, and the desire to eat everything in my fridge combined with paranoia is not nice in combination with a toothache.

I suppose perhaps I was a bit unclear in my comment, so my apologies for that.

I'll leave it at that, though, because I find your conduct extremely unpleasant. It can be hard enough to talk about the pros and cons of weed without the 'it cures cancer' and 'it will make you addicted after one puff' crowds. And talking about it is something that I strongly support, because cannabis is a pretty powerful thing (both good and bad).
