moeburn: It is definitely possible! However, your problems and the resolution of them has something to do with it.

I go to pain clinic, etc. I had some surgery for a problem not related to why and the Ortho doc decided he'd detox me ASAP. Fortunately, expecting it, I had some in my suitcase and as much pain as I was in and no pain meds--I got up and walked on my total knee across the room 18 hours after surgery and finally got some relief. (that is against hospital rules). Pain clinic even came in, ordered my regular stuff and my Ortho doc discontinued it!

Not long after--I met a fellow that gave me a ton of Kush! I do not recall the untoward effects of withdrawal I have in the previous years when I try to decrease or stop.

Now, I've done it a few times. Some, like me (due to the med. probs) just can't stop and rely on mmj totally. So, I toked and decreased my meds until I felt an uncomfortable withdrawal, then cut pills in half, etc. anything to get to a low to no dose! Now, when I medicate with mmj properly, I forget my meds a lot. The withdrawal is medically physical and mental. My doc told me I would not be a psychological candidate for addiction, as I have to set alarms to take pills. Truth is, your body will tell you and you know how awful it feels. So, I will cut medication dosage in half to start and toke to my pleasure. I got my stuff free the first time and it was most successful--the Gov't and Doc's ought to catch on. I could tell my docs, but it all goes in a computer that anyone can access in many States for the HMO, I do not want it there. It is bad enough the way they treat you without adding to it!

I would resort to schwagg. If you can get it and aren't able to grow. Cost is definitely a problem.

It is possible and I have been completely off my meds. Within weeks, my symptoms came back in a big way and it took many months to simmer them down.

If you have medical problems. Mmj will enhance a small dose safely with it, to avoid large dose's. I have found for ME: I take small dose's and suppliment with mmj and feel pretty good.

You can bet you sweet susie I will detox ASAP prior to the real major surgeries I need! And keep a back-up in my suitcase! And when it is over--I'll just use my mmj for my migraine's.

My dream would be that we could walk in a mmj store and see a list of which mmj strains are good for what and buy them or a clone. To have clone's of every (a lot) of strains and then have my own clone's for whatever I want to start a grow on that time (for speed). I am getting more impatient as I get older-seeds are cool, but hard to make supplies that will remain fresh and useful for years.

I did do it with no withdrawal at all. But, was kushed on my butt for the entire time and useless. I believe it should be used as part of pain control clinics, instead of all the other crap I see them writing scrips for. Unfortunately, I think I could get a script from my gynecologist for mmj easier than the pain clinics!! I definitely think mmj would be a better choice than pscho meds. The nice thing with mmj, you can quit and not have the withdrawals. However, from long term use of prescribed pain meds your threshold for pain will change and your tolerance a bit lower for about a year.


You have my respect and support to do it! P/R

"Please mods. . .": in the lower left corner it has "Forum Rules". I went there and read them. Is it o.k. to list which med we are prescribed? I think it was if it was needed to understand the thread. But, the day the Board was back, I saw drugs mentioned all over the place and was a little off balance!
