A good neighbor of mine fell into opiate addiction after several years of chronic pain from harsh health troubles.
She tried to stay off those medications, however couldn’t function throughout the day without the relief.
Things got especially frightening 10 years back when legislatures put a clamp down on prescription opiates, and it had the opposite of the intended effect on my good friend. Suddenly her prescriptions were cut back by such a level that she had legitimately no choice however to turn to the black market to avoid physical withdrawal. You can’t provide a lady with a medicated dose of oxycodone and then expect them to take a quarter of that dose everyday from the day moving forward without time for adjustment. Marijuana doesn’t pose such a critical 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 are in need of more 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 couple of months from dabbing cannabis concentrates from the medical pot shop. You get started with a particular sized dose and that works for a short phase of time, however then you need to increase the size of the dose officially. If you’re not careful, the tolerance to THC can get crazy, actually suddenly, so occasionally I switch back to using medical marijuana flower products for a short phase of time to try and get my tolerance under control. Going from a single type of product to another truthfully helps if you can’t take a tolerance break from the entire plant for a week or a few.
