An awesome neighbor of mine fell into opiate addiction after a number of years of chronic pain from brutal health problems.
- She tried to stay off those medications, however couldn’t get through the afternoon without the relief.
Things got actually frightening 10 years ago when legislatures chose to clamp down on prescription opiates, plus it had the exact opposite of the intended effect on my awesome friend. Suddenly her prescriptions were chop back so much that she had no option however to turn to the black market to avoid the horrific feeling of physical withdrawal. You can’t deliver someone a medicated dose of oxycodone plus then expect them to take a quarter of that dose everyday from the afternoon moving forward without 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 easily often. You might find that you need more cannabis to achieve the same effect, which is frustrating if you’re on a limited budget. My own tolerance to cannabis has started to build a wonderful amount in the past few weeks from dabbing cannabis concentrates from the medical weed store. You start with a particular sized dose plus that works for a wonderful phase of time, however then you need to increase the size gradually. If you’re not especially careful, the tolerance to THC can get deranged in a hurry, so occasionally I switch back to using medical marijuana flower products for a while to try plus get my tolerance totally under control. Going from 1 category of product to another absolutely helps if you can’t deal with a tolerance chop from the entire plant for a week or 2 at least.
