Yeah, it's obvious if you think about it.

There's people born with that condition where they don't feel pain at all, and their lives are miserable because they have absolutely nothing to guide them away from danger, or over-exertion, they have no sense of what the limitation of their own body is, and so cuts, grazes, broken bones, and all of the nasty consequences that come along with those are common.

Obviously if you take someone without that condition and wipe their pain clean with a pill, you are effectively giving them the above disease instead.

Pain has meaning, and very often even "chronic" pain does have an aggravating cause - it can just be difficult to work out what it is, and when you do work out what it is, it can be difficult for the patient to avoid it anyway (i.e. chronic back pain from a manual labour job, or chronic joint inflammation which actually is a consequence of a poor diet, etc).

Cannabis doesn't take pain away, but it can give you the space you need to deal with it, and mental health wise it helps put you in a position where you are way more able to deal with it. Lots of people out there are in chronic pain due to obesity for example, and in many cases obesity is caused by depression and so if cannabis can alleviate the depression, the person can alleviate their obesity and everything that comes with it. Give that person morphine, however, and now I'm afraid you just have an obese junkie with even less ability to sort their life out.

I myself have lost 10% of my body weight since starting medical cannabis and am hoping to drop below the obesity boundary in the next couple of weeks and see no reason to go back. However, most people who use licensed treatments for the conditions I have report weight gain, lethargy, fatigue, lack of concentration, lack of willpower, etc, as side effects. Well guess what, those side effects are going to ensure you never get off that drug, so welcome to your new life. Worse then your old life, but at least you don't feel it.

Obviously there may be some cases of chronic pain so extreme and so incurable that maybe morphine is suitable, but the fact that we work start out with superstrength cocodamol and work ourselves up to morphine within a couple of prescriptions without ever considering a near side-effect free treatment like cannabis first is madness.
