From the Portland Press Herald's Clarity on Cannabis section, Liz Gold on behalf of Wellness Connection runs down how cancer patients, with or without legalization, have been self medicating for years now and they already know many things that medical research is "discovering".

Borges, professor of medicine and director of the Breast Cancer Research Program at the University of Colorado Cancer Center said, “I’ve mainly seen it used in conjunction with prescription drugs to control pain and other side effects in patients living with metastatic disease.”
By prescribing medical marijuana, Dr. Borges says it allows her to cut back on pain prescriptions."

Less pain killers being prescribes equals less people over medicating themselves or becoming addicted.
