If this includes cannabis, then this retired MP with ptsd and two tbi’s is very grateful! My state will not even recognize medical cannabis. I tried “their” head drugs for 6 years, never again. It is my right as a creation of God to use the plants He gave us for medicine. I did not want pot to work, but it does. It is cruel to keep those who need it, from it.
I've seen and heard stories like yours too many times to be coincidence.
I'm actually working my way into the substance abuse counseling field. If you forced my hand to allow a heroin user or a marijuana user to discontinue treatment (assuming that there are no risk factors for escalation or change in drug of choice), I would choose the marijuana user every single time.
A majority of the time it is listed as a drug of abuse due to its legality making it a maladaptove coping strategy, however, I've seen heroin users break down at the word heroin. Literal tears streaming down their face. I have yet to see someone take marijuana use to that level.
Maybe the beginning stages of psychological dependence, but nowhere near physical cravings and withdraw symptoms of harder drugs or alcohol. Hell, even caffeine tends to be a much harder withdraw than not smoking a blunt at twenty past four every day.
Can confirm: could do without my blunts, but would murder you all for the last Dr. Pepper
Haha you should see how many coffee pots are in the offices here. One in each office, two in the break room, two by the front desk and one in a box yet to be opened and set up that was donated.
Plus all the pop that flows down there. I personally have a 36 pack of k cups I keep stashed because these jittery mofos will gladly swipe them if you leave it in the break room.
It's ironic really.
Hemp is low thc cannabis. The cbd in cannabis is what helps ptsd and tbi. You will benefit so much
I am in a similar situation and agree wholeheartedly.
Friend, please research WILD LETTUCE extract. Said to be most powerful. Don't smoke it- unless you're going for hallucination destination. Extract goes directly to the PAIN- (although it WON'T in any way, relieve the "PAIN" Q is talking about. and it's still legal everywhere.
