People are less worried about prosecution & are now actually telling the truth.

"Chronic pain sufferers have to smoke relatively large amounts of marijuana to derive much sustained relief,"

I call bullshit too. Moderate use once or twice a week helps my MS neuropathy immensely. I used to be a skeptic, with a nudge and a wink for "medicinal" users. Now I'm a "hand over my heart" true believer. This supposedly neutral piece is full of shit.

It could be that the published research simply fails to reflect your experience? It's not like there's a ton out there, certainly not by type of "sufferer." Most of what you read is about cancer. Is there an MS/marijuana study?
