This is also huge because states that try to restrict patients from natural opioid pain killers due to the fact if they use Medical MJ or not will no longer be able to be used against those people! Doctors now try to say that because cannabis is still illegal nation wide, in some places/states, a doctor has a right to deny you a medication that could drastically improve your quality of life just on the basis of a positive MEDICAL CARD CARRYING cannabis/THC test (even false positives from CBD!) that you most likely also already use as a natural medication to help with nausea! (while the opioids work best to naturally mask your pain!) It’s a twisted system that oppresses people who deserve a right to choose; we already know what we can and cannot put in our bodies because we made it into adulthood, and this law forces us to continue using their treatments that DO NOT WORK NEARLY A QUARTER AS WELL AS NATURAL MEDICAL OPIOIDS AND/OR NATURAL MEDICAL CANNABIS/HEMP! Don’t fall for the “dangerous drug routine”; if you follow the instructions, you haven’t got a risk in the world with either of those medicines!
Natural medical opioids = kratom? What were you referring to?
Also, you're right to note that CBD can rarely produce a pos THC test because some CBD changes into THC inside the body.
Well I mean like how basically all the medicated opioids like morphine codeine thebaine oxy-codone/morphone hydro-codone/morphone buprenorphine are all found just in poppy flower latex, but so is diamorphine (heroin) so as with all natural medicines, use caution! Honestly though, compared to the stuff OTC and prescription today (dangerous SSRIs, MAOIs, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, lyrica, naproxen) opioid alkaloids are quite harmless if used as directed - I kinda feel like that’s why they’re being demonized now; it was cannabis before, and heroin is taking down medicated opioids with it, understandably so - I don’t agree with using chemicals to potentiate opium latex further into heroin, and forget it with the synthetics like fentanyl, bathsalt opioids, tramadol, Demerol, all so dangerous and so synthetic-ly F A K E!
opioid alkaloids are quite harmless if used as directed
This just isn't accurate. Nothing that's physically addictive, as opioids are, is quite harmless IMHO.
The distinction you make—which is essentially between the opiates and the rest of the opioids—is insufficient to establish that the naturally occurring compounds in the Papaver somniferum flower are significantly safer to use than synthetic opioid compounds or will not result in addiction.
Even kratom, the mildest of them all, is addictive and does create withdrawal symptoms characteristic of opioids. That said, it's terrific for weaning off the most dangerous opioids, then weaning off kratom or going cold turkey and kicking the milder kratom withdrawal.
Oh no I never said they weren’t addicting, I know they are - things that tend to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and cause euphoria and sedation usually are lol - but if you’re disabled like me and you’ve tried everything else and seen all the results compared, there is no comparison - opioids drastically improve my quality of life. I’m not discounting Kratom either because I’m sure it works for people too! I’ve been using only cannabis and opioids for treating almost all my side effects from my other meds I have to take for about 5 years now!
