A close neighbor of mine fell into opiate addiction after several years of chronic pain from drastic health complications.
She tried to stay off those medications, however couldn’t function throughout the afternoon separate from the relief. Things became relatively horrifying 10 years ago when legislatures put a clamp down on prescription opiates, and it had the opposite of the intended effect on my buddy. Suddenly her prescriptions were absolutely chop back so much that she had actually no option however to turn to the black market to avoid physical withdrawal. You can’t supply someone a medicated dose of oxycodone and then expect them to take a quarter of that dose each afternoon from the afternoon moving forward separate from time for adjustment and tapering. Marijuana doesn’t pose the same exact 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 need extra cannabis to get the same effect, which is discouraging if you’re 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 shop. You beginning with a particular sized dose and that works for a while, 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 abruptly, so occasionally I switch back to using medical marijuana flower products for a while to try and get my tolerance under control. Going from 1 style of product to another absolutely helps if you can’t take a tolerance chop altogether from the entire plant for a week or so.
