UCSD recently released findings that smoking moderate amonts of marijuana can help reduce pain but smoking too much might actually increase the body's sensitivity to pain. From San Jose Mercury News:
The new study shows that healthy people who smoked different amounts of cannabis had different responses when injected with capsaicin, the chemical that makes chili peppers spicy.
Pain was unchanged in people who smoked very little of the drug but was reduced in people who smoked a moderate amount. People who smoked more felt more pain. The study appears in the November issue of the journal Anesthesiology.
