I would be lost without medical marijuana. Since they took away my pain meds, this is the only source of relief I have available. I find a decrease in pain & spasm, better and longer sleep, and enough of an appetite (munchies!) to at least have something to eat at night. I smoke, use edibles, CBD oil, and some other things recommended by the great staff at the dispensary I use. I thank God for the plant and feel better using a natural treatment than the opioids, though I have to admit that the narcotic pain meds did decrease my pain significantly and I have to work hard not to take it personally, that I am not being "punished" by the Opioid Crisis. Prescription medications killed my younger brother so I have trouble sometimes with anger and grief getting mixed up in accepting what is and doing my best with what is available to me.

I smoke my marijuana as it is cheaper but it has made a big difference in my pain, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. I also have fibro and was on methadone for 18 years for the pain but I started taking magnesium citrate and marijuana along with a low carb diet and was able to wean off the methadone. It's been 2 years now off it and it's like a whole new lease on life.

My doctor didn't just cut down my meds, he took them all away. Medical marijuana and a few of the other cannabis products are all that I have to help with the pain now, and all I can say is "Thank you, Mother Nature!"

Thanks for the hugs - good medicine.

I have less then a months worth of opioids left because I fired my doctor after he kept cutting my medicine, after that its just CBD ans cannibis , all the best.
