Live Stoner Chat Has anyone ever used cannabis to get off RX Opiates

[G.Leave]

No, but now it's in my bookmarked zone to research into later, appears easy to make. Can you compare the effects and cost to phoenix tears?

Sorry i have never tried phoenix tears

My two bob- l havd been on and off opiates(H-mainly) for many years- 8 clean but l gotta say there is no easy route and imo weed made withdrawals far worse( well no easier)- its a lot easier to kick than stay clean but l found each attempt more difficult than the last- l could give you a dozen ways of gettin clean but l dont think copious amounts of weed or extracts help- 400mg valium + litre 1/2 of vodka didnt touch the sides so dont have high expectations of relief from weed- good luck though but its all about stayin clean not kickin- sorry if this sounds negative mate- just reality- wishin you well
Btw when u get clean l found taking a good dose of mushrooms helps break the cycle...

I grow for my wife..when she was out of RX meds for her migraines or hip pain or anxiety As I have mention on another sub-forum, the meds would make her zombies, unproductive..etc
I would have to make phone calls to our "supplier"..never knew what we would get..sometimes..brick..sometimes decent stuff. Now, she has an on going supply and knows what she's getting and no side effects associated with big pharma meds, the script bottles are collecting more and more dust each day.

That's great to hear, I hope I can get the same results. on these pills I have ne energy, I never feel like doing anything except sit in the recliner and rot. I have lost a lot of friends because I never want to do anything, or the pills have made me a kind of mean person. I am not the same person I used to be. I was a fun loving kind person. now I don't know who I am anymore.

Hey @seb56 I'm one that went from over 6yrs on tons of prescription pain meds (methadone, oxy, percs, vic) plus other stuff for depression and sleep. It wasn't that easy as when I got my medical cannabis card the Dr dropped the scripts so I was battling cold turkey. But I stuck it out and it's been the best decision I've made for my family and myself. My history is almost the same L1 - S1 discs are gone. I go see an Orthopedic spinal surgeon in 2 weeks for another opinion. I had a big scare when I heard/felt a pop then couldn't move my legs. I was stuck in bed for a few days after my wife got me to the ER then home again.
Hang in there if you go this route.

I know this is a different subject, but I am in the process of drying and curing for my first time. I am trying to keep my drying space at 70% humidity so I don't dry to fast. that's going ok. today some of the smaller nugs are dry enough and I I did a final trim and stuck the in a jar, I also put a humidity meter in the jar, it read 64%. I have the humidity packs there 62%. should I wait till the meter drops below the 62% or put it in now. I am thinking I should wait till it drops below 62%. just making sure, I know its a stupid question but I don't want to screw things up at the very end. how long do you wait till you start smoking it. how many weeks

I know 1 damn thing and that is the pain after that surgery fusion with rods on L-5 S-1 was a total SOB. not looking forward to it, if I need more surgery

When you think it's dry enough, it's not dry enough. If you close the lid with the hydrometer in there, it will shoot up real fast. I found the brown bag method to work better than jars until you get it figured out. Keeps the goods from smelling like grass clippings.

For you guys with joint pain/muscle try blackseed oil. Not sure it will help ruptured discs but worth a shot.
