Tale of A Tent-Stumbler

I think a lot depends on an individual's tolerance level. I find they still work great after surgery, and they only ever trust me with a week's worth of strictly-for-squares Vicodin. But I can't stand being hot, nauseated, itchy, constipated, the difficulty breathing, and everything else that comes with the system-wide slowing down of processes associated with opioids. With that many side-effects, it's almost puzzling why anyone (self included) would ever get hooked. And between that and the danger, it's sorta shocking that they're prescribed at all.

It's peculiar - I always said, as far back as high school; long before medical was even a gleam in its old man's eye, that cannabis was good for pain. Furthermore, I stated that it doesn't so much alleviate said pain, but makes you not care. Again, to quote the eminent philosopher smosey wales: your mileage may vary.
