MMJ is also good for Opiate Withdrawal Pain

eltone

Two years ago I was on 120 mgs of Methadone a day. No, not because previous use of marijuana but because of legal prescriptions from doctors that addicted me to opiates. I have been on Methadone for over 10 years, today I am nearing the end of my 2 year Campaign to detox off of Methadone. It saved my life and that of my son's. I also use MMJ to control chronic nausea/vomiting. Through this I have found out that MMJ helps in the anxiety of opiate withdrawals. I'm sure it also helps the pain but I didn't have any pain, just a constant state of anxiety unique to opiate withdrawals. You who have been there know what I mean. I just wanted to share this with anyone else who might find this info helpful. Peace...

Yeah, last night about 2:30 am I started with the leg kicks, and this is going down slowly! It is incredible how addictive anything opiate related is. Those of us who know this drug and the body know why. Opiates attach to the brains opiate receptors and shut down normal bodily functions i.e. the release of endorphines. Which is why we get sick and feel alot of pain while withdrawing. Think about it, this is the exact image the U.S. Gov't portrays to the people of America as to the use of marijuana. Sen Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Sen Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Rep Leonard Boswell (D-IA) all (especially Sen Tom Harkin senior senate member) agree that and state in their "War On Drugs Letter" that, "If you smoke marijuana you will find yourself huddled in a corner willing to sell your children for just one more puff of marijuana." I sent Harkins letter, where he lumps marijuana in the same catagory as heroin, cocaine and meth, to NORML and they put it on their front page a couple months ago, for Harkin, and others, have been sending out the same stupid letter for over 10 years or longer. Anyway thanks for all your emotional support. If this were a cold turkey withdrawal I wouldn't even be able to turn my computer on. My advice is stick with cannabis . Peace...

Absolutely , you are very wise to notice that. In fact my heroin addiction brought me closer to God. For when you find yourself going to the South Bronx or the lower east side of Manhattan before you can go to work on Madison Ave., you are not in control of your own life. The man on the street with the heroin owns you, and that's a scary feeling. I use to have a friend who would sell a gram of heroin to some NY Sate politician. Whenever I saw a black stretch limo outside this run down tenement building in alphabet city (Ave A, B, C, etc. Manhattan's lower east side) I would either wait for it to leave or go somewhere else. But now that I am down to 8 Mgs a day from 120 Mgs a day of methadone I can feel the opiates leave my body and my body returning back to normal. I had to leave NYC and come to Iowa to get away from old places, friends, etc. Luckily I received my first methadone dose within 24 hours of applying for the methadone maintenance program in Iowa. They only had about 95 clients including the Medical Examiner for the state of Iowa, back in the 90's. But now it is coming to an end and I have to fight the politicians for my truely healing medicine, Medical Marijuana, preferably the Orange Kush, what a great medicine and it tastes so good. Peace and thanks for everyone's support I will make it. For tonight I have some Breyer's Vanilla Fudge Twirl if I start to get the leg kicks again, but I've felt pretty good today so hopefully the worst is over...Later...and thanks again everyone.
