Interesting. Based on my experience, marijuana INTENSIFIES physical
sensations. I think it's the last thing I'd want to partake of before any
sort of painful medical procedure. But, like alcohol, everyone's experience
is different.

Not having any relevant experience myself, I welcome your expert
commentary.

The one time I tried the weed, way back in college before electricity was
discovered, it make me puke. Since then, even the scent of the stuff makes
me nauseous.

I'm hoping Dr. Happy Tooth, our discussion group dental authority, will
offer his expert opinion, too.

I wish the weed would knock out cats for a while; we just took several of
ours in for their annual teeth cleaning last week, and since they have to
be knocked out for the job, the cost per each animal is about twice what
our dentist charges us for human teeth cleaning.

Most human patients don't threaten to rip the doctor's arm off. :-)

That's because vets are highly trained people. Dentists are, well,
dentists.

DENTAL MARIJUANA FACES UPHILL FIGHT
Obstacles Abound for Weed as Novocaine Replacement

A group of California activists hoping to legalize marijuana for dental
purposes only may be facing an uphill struggle in their legislative
battle, a spokesperson for the group said today.

"Most other nations in the industrialized world have already discovered
what the California legislature seems unwilling to admit: that one hit
from a bong can do more to ease dental pain than an entire shot of
novocaine," said spokesperson Davis Wilton.

"It wouldn't hurt to have a few black light posters in the dentist's
office, either," Mr. Wilton added. "After a few hits of dental marijuana,
dental black light posters can be very soothing."

The activists, who have been pushing for the legalization of so-called
dental marijuana since the early 1990's, say they are hoping that a newly
released study touting the benefits of dental weed, especially before
tooth cleaning or root canal procedures, will help them in their
legislative fight.

But according to Dr. Conor Glausen of the University of Minnesota School
of Dentistry, the study is not without its flaws: "If you read the fine
print, you'll see that the 'expert' who authored the study was actually
smoking dental marijuana while writing it."

Dr. Glausen said he was also concerned by the source of funds used to make
the study possible: "I'm suspicious of any pro-marijuana study that is
underwritten by Frito-Lay."

Elsewhere, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would step
down as executive editor of the magazines "Muscle and Fitness" and "Flex,"
but that he would retain his editorial position at "Nazi Groper."

Some days, I'm convinced that my assistant is smoking the stuff in the back
storage room. I can only imagine how bad the blank stares would get if she
were forced to partake in second hand smoke.

A young woman was having her annual checkup at the dentist's. He gave her
the usual "Now this won't hurt a bit," as he leaned over her to begin.
Seconds later, he drew back in shock and exclaimed, "Miss! You have hold of
my testicles."
"Yes, I know doctor," she replied. "And we aren't going to hurt each other
at all, are we?"

Hehehe. You're just jealous that we might get to legally keep pot in our
offices. Don't worry. If you're ever down my way, I'll be sure to share.

The line I liked best in the "story" is the study was conducted by Frito

Hmmm.

I like my dentist's method. If something's gonna hurt, he just tells me.
