A relatively close neighbor of mine fell into opiate addiction after a few years of chronic pain from health problems.
She tried to stay off those medications, however couldn’t function officially throughout the day without the relief.
Things got relatively startling 10 years ago when legislatures put a clamp down on prescription opiates, and it had the exact opposite of the intended effect on my pal. Suddenly her prescriptions were cut back so much that she had undoubtedly no choice however to turn to the black market to avoid the symptoms of physical withdrawal. You can’t provide someone a medicated dose of oxycodone and then expect them to take a quarter of that dose each day from the day moving forward without time for adjustment and tapering. Marijuana doesn’t pose the same actual risk for addiction as an opiate, however there is still a tolerance to the substance that builds in the bodies of those who use it all the time. You might find that you require extra cannabis to get the same effect, which is frustrating if you happen to be on a limited budget. My own tolerance to cannabis has started to build in the past few weeks from dabbing cannabis concentrates from the medical cannabis store. You start with a particular sized dose and that works for a duration of time, however then you need to increase the size of the dose a small amount each week. If you’re not especially careful, the tolerance to THC can get crazy in no time, so there are times when I switch back to using medical marijuana flower products for a while to try and get my tolerance legitimately under control. Going from a single type of product to another easily helps if you can’t deal with a tolerance break from the entire plant for a month or several at least.
