Hello all. I haven't posted in quite awhile, but have continued to read throughout. I started a few months ago due to a chronic pain issue, and I have to say I am/was surprised by the benefit. I admit, I wasn't exactly on board with smokers in high school/college...had many friends that would partake, which was cool, but I just chose not to at the time. Many moons later I was in a car accident...mega back issues....35 years old...been to every chronic pain doc on earth,etc.etc.etc. I'm sure ya'll have heard this song and dance before.

Sooooo, here's my questions. I was hoping to completely ween (sp.?) off of prescription meds once I started smoking (also had a spinal cord stimulator 'installed' about the same time). I ended up stock-piling them (I don't know why I did it...I guess I feared if I flat cut the scripts I might have trouble (Dr.'s) either getting the scripts themselves, or just having there be a lag having them 'in hand') but recently have had to increase my 'big dogs'; oxy/morphine/neurontin/etc. I am highly doubting this, but are there any studies that focus on potential side effects of pot w/ prescription meds? I've been 'mixing' for several months, but with my recent increase in meds, I'm getting a little more concerned about sides or long-term issues. Does anyone know of any studies, or possibly have personal experience with this?

Thank you!
