Research on using marijuana base CBD for the treatment of opioid addiction....
Surprise !

Pot is habit forming, but certainly not addictive. As a matter of fact I found it easier to walk away from completely with absolutely zero symptoms of withdrawal. I only wished I could have done the same with cigarettes which are both habit forming and addictive. It has now been 4 months, but there are times I still yearn for a cigarette, such as long drives. Hopefully I am far enough removed that staying away can be accomplished. So far it has not been a problem. The fact that my wife still smokes didn’t help quitting either. 8>)
Anyone with chronic pain who requires prescription meds. is required to refill once/month, which requires your doc to take the time from his busy practice to ok it, and as my doc just informed me...
the doc must open a gov database that tells him everywhere you’ve been prescribed that med.
This is what Trump and Sessions have done. MAGA??
Can you picture increased suicides by those for whom no doctor is willing to lose their license if the prescription is “too high”.
Why is government (force) inserted between us and our doctors?
I haven’t either, but then I don’t get it how anyone can smoke that stinking weed.
Let me tell you something bozo. I’ve been sober for twenty eight years and I agree one hundred per cent with this article.
Very poor analogy.
I agree..they make opiods way to strong.
“...the federal government should have zero role in...”
It’s now a socialist/communist/fascist government.
I had horrible spinal pain earlier this year. Thank God surgery took care of it... ...but before that happened, I was becoming familiar with opiates, and the paranoia (half justified / half not) currently circulating around them.
“Like booze, the federal government should have zero role in what people put into their bodies; part of being an actual conservative is letting other people make their own choices with their lives,...”
Fine, but first you have to stop every dime of taxpayer funding of support for worthless lazy dope heads. They can’t work because they can’t pass a drug test, so about 20% or more of the population lives off their taxpaying neighbors.
It puzzles me that some people consider using the stuff a form of recreation.
SC has really cracked down on opioid prescriptions so my cousin spent hours writhing in her bed in pain because she couldn’t get a refill until the next month. I am sick of decent people having to suffer because of lowlifes who would be addicts anyway either on weed, a street drug or stolen pills.
Never heard of death by marijuana overdose....
Emergency rooms were deluged with psychotic problems when Colorado legalized. One kid freaked out and jumped out a window to his death and another one thought he could fly.
source? Numbers for this new phenomonen
Do you think there are any respitory issues associated with smoking weed?
We just discovered cannibis. For the first time in years, she can be pain free for hours at a time.
She does not smoke it, she uses it in brownies.It dulls the pain and does not put her to sleep. She can do more and is even beginning to eat more. She was beginning to waste away. We are in our 70'sand I hope she gets fat LOL.
I still do not use the stuff, but Thank God it was legalized in Alaska.
Denver will soon have opium dens with medical staff on hand. They will be funded by charity which will no doubt give 5% to the opium den and pocket 95% of the government funding. Meanwhile Veterans are left in agony.

wait, you’re saying that trump sucks because a number of states are restricting your opioids prescription?
