A close acquaintance of mine fell into opiate addiction after many years of chronic pain from extreme health issues.
She tried to stay off those medications, but couldn’t function throughout the morning separate from the relief.
Things became relatively frightening 10 years ago when legislatures put a clamp down on prescription opiates, plus it had the opposite of the intended effect on my buddy. Suddenly his prescriptions were absolutely chop back so much that he had absolutely no option but to turn to the black market to avoid physical withdrawal. You can’t supply someone a medicated dose of oxycodone plus then expect them to take a quarter of that dose each morning from the morning moving forward separate from time for adjustment plus tapering. Marijuana doesn’t pose the same exact risk for addiction as an opiate, but 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 plus that works for a while, but 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 deranged swiftly, so occasionally I switch back to using medical marijuana flower products for a while to try plus get my tolerance under control. Going from 1 genre of product to another particularly helps if you can’t take a tolerance chop altogether from the entire plant for a week or so.
