You have nothing to be sorry about. I can see why my post would strike a nerve with you and bring up such a painful part of your life. And the way I received your reply was more of genuine concern because of your personal experience which is valid.
Before adding in the mmj I was on 100mcg/hr fentanyl patch(the strongest you can get outside of a hospital or being prescribed 2 patches to wear at a time) and oxycodone for break thru pain. I asked my dr if I could lower the fentanyl dose and add in mmj to compensate and he was all for it. So over 6 months we tapered me down to the 50mcg/hr patch and half the break thru oxy and I was able to get the same, if not better relief of my pain. I mainly use RSO as my mmj with the occasional joint that last me 3-4days taking just a few tips here n there.
Yes I am in severe chronic pain that will never be cured or fixed. I was in a motor vehicle accident as a young child and I was not in the proper child restraint seat for my size and age. As a result of that my gut was crushed by the lap belt that caused my intestines to rupture. Then as a teen I had a bowel obstruction that required surgery to remove the dead tissue and everything went tits up. That left me with a scar from sternum to my pelvis that's as wide as my hand and is widening constantly due to losing 40% of my abdominal muscles. So as it widens it also thins and now it's only a few millimeters thin separating my insides from out. You dont realize just how much you need your abs for walking, sitting, ect. So without the pain medication I literally cannot walk more than a few steps without collapsing.
I'm so sorry your sister died from aspiration due to an overdose. That is terrible and tragic.
I however use marijuana in conjunction with my opiates as advised by my dr. I've been able to reduce my opiates by half by using medical marijuana under the care of a licensed physician. I completely respect your opinions here tho. My biggest mistake that night was that I smoked my brother's weed that had a much higher thc content unlike mine that is less thc more cbd.
Stories like these are why my mother and i cared for my father at home instead of letting the hospitals send him to rehabs or nursing homes for the last 5 years of his life. It was the only way to insure he would never be abused or mistreated. Even when we had visiting care providers, I would never leave them alone with my dad until we knew them well enough.
It also gave us the ability to give him the death he wanted, at home with his family and dogs on the 17th.
