Can You Ask Your Doctor for Medical Marijuana Instead of Painkillers and Opioids?

Medical cannabis is a relatively new concept that does not have substantial scientific evidence to make it a sure cure or a perfect alternative to painkillers. Although there have been cases here and there that support the claim that medical marijuana is a better way to cure pain, some doctors will not give in to the trend based on hearsay alone due to the fear of cannabis as a drug being a gateway drug, meaning patients can easily get hooked on it.
