The ones on it have worse pain after surgery and require more opioids. The numbers aren't major but they are there. Makes sense I suppose. A crutch needs a crutch. Body looking to mask the pain with something like it's used to... Just need more drugs to manage the pain. https://neurosciencenews.com/pain-cannabis-surgery-21701/ “...Our study shows that adults who use cannabis are having more — not less — postoperative pain.

The cannabis users had used the drug within 30 days before surgery, while the other patients had never used cannabis. The patients who used cannabis experienced 14% more pain during the first 24 hours after surgery compared to the patients who never used cannabis.

It’s not legal, but they grow weed with no THC content, then spray it with something so it just gets to the limit of what they can get away with. The guy described it as “weed light”. He said “so you just do two bowls instead of one”. No thanks, I don’t know or trust whatever the hell you are spraying that with. I suspect it’s less healthy than something natural, but I didn’t care enough to dig into it. I did get some roll-on stuff for my bad shoulder. I have no idea if it really helped a little, or if it was more placebo affect. Even if it’s just my imagination, being more comfortable is a good thing.

Oh no this isn’t like that, it has to do with where they extract the thc from. You can get thc from hemp and weed that is the same. Getting it from hemp is legal in Tennessee but not from marijuana. see if things like delta 8: Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as delta-8 THC, is a psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis sativa plant, of which marijuana and hemp are two varieties. Delta-8 THC is one of over 100 cannabinoids produced naturally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But am off prescription drugs. It’s all good. A close friend of my has severe epilepsy. Also suffered with depression his whole life. He was on 13 different medications for the epilepsy, mood disorder, and other stuff for most of his life. When he was in his late 20s he connected with a “progressive” medical doctor who suggested he try using cannabis in controlled amounts to treat some of his ailments. He is now in his mid-40s and is no longer taking any medications. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
