First of Two Parts!

It has been nearly 28 years since Chris Ally rounded a blind turn on his motorcycle and ran head-on into a delivery truck. Eighteen days after the accident, when Ally, then 23, finally came out of his coma, doctors and family members gathered around his hospital bed told him how lucky he was to be alive. Soon, he would begin to wonder. 
Ally, son of the late New York advertising legend Carl Ally, was six months out of college; he had been working in a motorcycle dealership, making good money, riding high. The accident sent him hurtling into a new world: a place where his body became the enemy and some malevolent power seemed to have hijacked his brain. He was on a highway again. Twenty-eight years later, he is still trying to get off. ``It's taken my whole life from me,'' he said. ``After 28 years, there's nothing left in my life but the pain.'' This article is long but it says so much about pain management. This is an area that needs much attention. Click on the link for the first part of two!

Hope this helps!
Pain management is an issue that isn' talked about. If you have ever taken care of a person at the end of their life if it was from cancer or Aids, I think you'd see. Marijuana can help people bare unbearable pain so by becoming aware of how this isn't talked about, we come to know more about how we can sucessfully manage end life or serious injury pain. Hope this helps!
