RE: 93% of Cannabis Patients prefer the treatment over Opioids for managing pain
Very true and I can speak from personal experience, well I should say second hand personal experience. My girlfriend had breast cancer. Here in our state you need to be stage 4 for a Dr. to even consider giving it to you and even then none really want to go out on a limb and do it.
She was going through chemo and radiation for a couple years, during that time had a couple major knee surgeries as well, totally unrelated to the cancer but pain none the less.
Not only did weed do more to control the pain than opiates, opiates are also incredibly addictive, mess up your stomach, constipate you, and honestly all the other garbage pharmaceuticals they gave her all had a side effect so they give you one medication to control nausea, but then have to give you 5 others to control the side effects the nausea medication gives you.
I'm glad to see slowly but surely the medical marijuana legitimization taking effect.
How is your girlfriend now? And which state are you guys from if I may ask?
Hey @avilsd , thanks for asking. SHe's doing great she's in remission. She still has to take tomoxofin which is basically like a lower dose chemo in a pill so still things are not 100% being on a shitty medication like that but green definately does help with that as well but honestly can't complain we are very fortunate.
Her knee is healing up, the cancer is gone for now so things are great.
Were in Illinois by teh way.
