My friend's problem last year was that the cannabis was so much more effective that he didn't have any of the prescribed meds in his system when they tested. Those drugs exit the system in less time. Instead of being happy that a better management drug was available in a legal state, the doctor determined the patient was dealing drugs. At that point it became nasty and he began testing for cannabis and insisting there be no residue or no opioids would be prescribed. You can't simply stop taking these drugs.
Problem was the opioids and the cannabis were working together when pain spiked. The doctor didn't care about that. So my friend would go off cannabis for a month ahead, take opioids for the two days before the visit and suffer during the time between.
It's a power play in too many cases that ignores established science.
How do we make the change in perception? Take the control back to the patient and listen to the science? They don't know about the ECS, and this makes all the difference in the conversation. But if you refuse to hear truth because it challenges your preconceived ideas, no progress can be made, and in this case people suffer needlessly.
There're too many people caught in this "pain management " madness. There has to be a way through this to relief.
Exactly-damned if you do...damned if you don't.
That's the insanity of getting stuck in the doc racket- after reading the GCMB regs stating that screening is only required every 3 months but having the clinic test EVERY time you walk in tells me they are after the money. I was amazed that my previous doc was paid over $600/month for a UA test but received $65 for the 5 minute flyby visit by my health insurance-made it VERY clear that patient care wasn't his priority. I'll find out in the AM what he's going to do but I think that I may have found a D.O. that might be more receptive.
My next harvest is just two weeks out.
