And for some reason, that’s a bad thing, because some company somewhere isn’t making as much money.
I believe it- It’s how I stopped binge drinking.
It’s also great for quitting alcohol.
I know 2 people who quit smoking tobacco by switching to weed…
I went through awful opioid withdrawal after daily use for 3 months (surgical complications). It would have been so much worse without using weed.
I was on probation for a couple years and all I wanted to do was smoke weed. However bc of drug testing I was only able to get away with drinking alcohol, smokin cigs, and cocaine. I gained 45 lbs and once I was a free man I stopped cigs (been a decade now), slowed down my drinking, started smoking weed again, and lost all 45 lbs
Gee, almost like Marijuana and opioids are both used to manage *pain*. Almost like this whole opioid epidemic mess started because opioids became the default medication to prescribe for any and all kinds of pain.
Who remembers being told of the gateway drug to more dangerous substances? When it’s often the exact opposite.
In my 20s, about a million years ago, I quit my minor pain pill addiction with cannabis and a little extra drinking for a few weeks. Many years later, after I fucked up my spine in a wreck, it is what helps me stay off of opioid pain medication. My PT said that in his entire career, I was the first patient with my injury that he released from PT as successful (injury is stabilized but not healable) without surgery. Cannabis absolutely helped me through that 5+ years of regular PT and its aftereffects.
Is it problem free, definitely not, but it is the most effective treatment available to me currently. I have asked my doctor about treating a few ailments with prescription medications instead of using cannabis for them and he verbally recommended that I not do that.
