I can't answer your question on getting Medical Marijuana but I can tell you from personal experience that smoking Medical Marijuana, or even schwag, is very helpful when withdrawing from opiates. I detoxed off of taking 120mg's a day of Methadone for over 10 years this past June. I can tell you that marijuana is very helpful in fighting off the increased pain and anxiety you go through detoxing from opiates. However it will not make you feel as comfortable as doing opiates. You, like all other opiate addicts including myself, will have to go through the withdrawals, but if you do it right you only have to go through it one time. It was 6 weeks after I took my last 2 mg dose of methadone before I started to feel normal. I smoked an ounce a week for about 2 months. You are right in that it takes alot of weed to reach a comfort stage when withdrawing from opiates. But there is no doubt that marijuana is the safest drug in easing the discomfort of opiate withdrawals besides its other healthful uses like controling chronic nausea and vomiting :thumbsup:. Good luck in your fight to be opiate free :smokin:. Peace...:420thought:
eltone Reviewed by eltone on . Getting medical pot for withdrawal of more harmful drugs? Please mods, I am doing my best to keep this in the rules as possible. I am not talking about the other drugs that I did specifically, only that they were prescribed, and that they were opiates. I go through severe withdrawal if I discontinue my usage. I do not want methadone or any of the other opiate "substitutes", because they are still just opiates. Weed makes almost all the symptoms reduce, but I have to be really toking to get a benefit. To a point that I cannot afford the amount Rating: 5
