The Pharmacy Industry pushed opioid drugs onto the population to make money through the consumption of their addictive products. Now there is a crisis to stop the deaths caused by fentanyl and other opioid drugs.

Cannabis is an effective pain relief medicine and if a chronic pain patient wants to reduce their consumption or get off their morphine or oxycontin prescription they can! 

I have reduced my morphine consumption from over 130 mg a day to 0 mg a day with the assistance of medical cannabis.  February 2019 was last dose after 5 years on morphine.

This takes a conscious effort on my behalf to eat an edible, take some oil or vap/smoke a joint instead of taking a pill. 

Reducing an addictive drug like opioids leads to withdrawal symptoms. Cannabis use eliminates the cravings, eases the headache and makes life manageable. 

Eating Hash has been the most effective way of reducing the pain and addiction woes.

Start with 1 gram of hash crushed up and added to a cup of milk made hot chocolate. Consume at home and give it 3-4 hours for the physcoactive effects to wear off. Sleep will come soon after.

If 1 gram didn’t satisfy the cravings, move up by 1/2 a gram a day until your dosage is realized.

In the 1800’s Doctors prescribed sugar coated Hash pills (1/10 of a gram) for headaches, menstral cramps, pain, addictions, GI issues and hundreds of other ailments.

I eat 1/10 of a gram of hash with each meal to reduce pain, this micro dosing eliminates the need for pain killers and provides a great night sleep.

Tobacco and/or Alcohol Replacement Therapy

I used replacement therapy to quit a 1-2 pack a day tobacco habit. The ambulance ride at 22 years of age made me want to stop cigarettes, so I took my two week vacation and stayed home. Every time I craved a cigarette I smoked a joint, at one point I was like “I don’t want to smoke another joint”, but it worked. I haven’t smoked a cigarette since; 45 years later. Way better then cold turkey.

I stopped drinking alcohol, to support my Ex’s desire to quit drinking. I just became the DD so I only smoked pot. I turned my beer and wine making area into my garden, the 84th person in Canada to get licensed to grow Medical Cannabis at home. Growing Cannabis is very satisfying and a great therapy for the mind and body.

Alcohol has a lot of health concerns surrounding its use. I have benefited from weight loss and visceral fat loss by not drinking alcohol. My lung capacity is fantastic, partly because i consume cannabis.
