An awesome neighbor of mine fell into opiate addiction after a number of years of chronic pain from brutal health issues.
She tried to stay off those medications, however couldn’t get through the morning separate from the relief. Things got absolutely frightening 10 years ago when legislatures chose to clamp down on prescription opiates, and it had the exact opposite of the intended effect on my awesome friend. Suddenly his prescriptions were chop back so much that he had no option however to turn to the black market to avoid the horrific feeling of physical withdrawal. You can’t supply someone a medicated dose of oxycodone and then expect them to take a quarter of that dose everyday from the morning moving forward separate from having an adjustment period. Marijuana doesn’t pose the same threat of addiction as an opiate, however there is still a tolerance to the substance that builds in the bodies of those who use it absolutely often. You might find that you need more cannabis to achieve the same effect, which is aggravating if you’re on a limited budget. My own tolerance to cannabis has started to build a good amount in the past few weeks from dabbing cannabis concentrates from the medical weed store. You beginning with a particular sized dose and that works for a good period of time, however then you need to increase the size gradually. If you’re not especially careful, the tolerance to THC can get ridiculous in a hurry, so occasionally I switch back to using medical marijuana flower products for a while to try and get my tolerance totally under control. Going from 1 genre of product to another really helps if you can’t deal with a tolerance chop from the entire plant for a week or 2 at least.
