Hi All. Yes, just to address what I'd hoped would be just a passing note but has turned into so much more...
I think I might be more worried about the Suboxin and the difficulty people have with getting off of it if that were even my plan -- to someday wean off of it. But I think I am being mis heard here. I don't think I will ever come off of opiates. Not because they are so addicting or because I think it will be too gruelling to come off of them or any such reasoning as that. Rather, I doubt that I will ever come off of opiates simply because there is no other pain killer that can make the pain manageable like the opiates. And if, after 7 years of use I have so far never had any inclination to abuse either my Fentanyl patch nor my Tylenol 4s, I figure I must be in pretty safe territory when it comes to addiction. Of course, I am addicted to my Fentanyl on the level that I have maintained a constant very high dosage of this patch in my system for over 7 years now, but I am in no way at all addicted to my T4s because I rarely use them.
But this all attests to the fact that I'm not frightened at all of the Suboxin. I think a healthy respect is a more appropriate reaction to have towards a medication rather than one of fear. It seems to me that if we are afraid of the medications then that is coming at it from the wrong place. Rather, if you have a healthy respect for the medication then you have a better chance of working with the medication rather than constantly being at odds with it.
Anyway, this isn't an underhanded way to bash SweetSue. I just think we have different concepts of what I experience and I doubt I can convey it any better than to say that the wife-bot woke in the middle of the night to the sound of my screams. She jumped out of bed and ran toward the sounds of the screaming. When she found me I was on my hands and knees on the floor, completely screaming my fool head off, fat tears streaming down my face as I continued to sleep, despite the pain and because I am so damned exhausted.
Now, that is NOT your everyday garden variety sore back now, is it? I just don't think that cannabis's healing aura is going to meet that kind of pain head on, right?
Everyone means well, I know that.
But not everyone experiences the same levels of pain.
Trust me in this.
All my Best,
Magnus
