Members shared experiences with using medical marijuana as an alternative to opioids for chronic pain, with many reporting significant relief and successful transitions despite the challenges of withdrawal. Several members noted practical barriers including lack of legality in their regions, difficulty finding prescribing doctors, expensive or ineffective CBD products, and fear of losing existing pain medication prescriptions due to drug testing. A recurring theme was frustration with the legal and medical systems that make accessing medical marijuana difficult while opioid addiction remains a widespread crisis, alongside hope that cannabis offers a non-addictive option for pain management.

How often do u go to the doctor ? Pot will stay in your system up to 10 days if ur not a reg user, 45 if u smoke occassionally and up to 90 if u are a daily user..if it works for u, u wont need the doc anyway for pain and trust me it will work...

I smoke daily. Medicinal Marijuana is a fantastic way to stay and get off of opiopds. Its illegal here so I cant go to pain management. I just started to smoke again. I dont care about the legality at this point. The junkies have ruined my chances at getting any medication thats worth a crap to help so..ets let the Gubment give them free neddles and watch them die out.
Survival of the fittest. Good luck. Fire it up. Its a game changer. My pain level has lifted 2 points as I smoke a bowl...
