Ugh, that whole first 2 minutes was filled with nonsense. Yes, what you described happened to SOME people. But many many more people were helped greatly by the willingness to prescribe opiates for chronic pain where it is the most effective class of molecules we know of. Most of the deaths from those who did get addicted were from black market supply that is often tainted with fentanyl, not from the controlled, pure, known dose medications they were getting prior to the insane opiate war from our government.
Weed is a blessing. Even more for addicts who want to turn the page.
Opiate withdrawal is hell.
Everyone who wants to be clean needs support, comfort meds (be it methadone, suboxone, vitamins, benzos, sleeping pills or whatever, even herbal stuff helps, not o ly CBD and similars who are great but there's more out there. Maybe not as effective though) and space, to taper, to stay hydrated and regain macronuteients, electrolytes and rest. I found out some sports and sports drink help with wd.
If anyone needs help, reach out because it needs to start from yourself and you gotta express yourself and be free because the mental part will be rough.
Stay safe.
Bro this is like 5 years old
Unfortunately it does not help. I’ve tried. Nothing replaced opioids.
Weed is not a drug!! So yess all these ppl are getting clean!!
"Jason relapsed 3 weeks after we met him" yeah and you discouraged by saying 'yeah but its only been 3 weeks' and discredited what he was doing by telling him 'thats not really getting clean is it?' In my opinion the rehab should have never let you around their patients.
I wish the best for anyone overcoming addiction
Of course, you replace one drug with another, but tell me again how many people died from weed and how much from opioids?! 😊
Not to underestimate is the fact that these guys are getting personal attention and caring maybe for the first time in their lives? Might be the reason they turned to drugs in the first place. When love did not reach you, you have to find it yourself ❤
You should trust the “thrown together” facility more than you do. I understand it looks bizarre and we definitely do have a bizarre culture in Maine, but these people are doing the best they can in an environment that just wants to keep you addicted to pills. I still see so much potential in cannabis as a method to kick opioids and other drugs. Yes it is replacing one drug for another, but weed has never killed anyone… that’s the difference here man… weed isn’t deadly. Give it a chance please ❤❤❤
LETS GO BO!!!
When he says caretakers are ceaselessly taking dabs while their patient suffers through withdrawal, are they just replacing one powerful high with another? i am laughing and disappointed at that statement at the same time. Did big pharma pay vice to say that? lol seriously wtf
Yes I can attest for it. Without it I'd be dead, I think.
First thing to recover is always the motivation/will to get to another side of life.
Second thing is the living situation needs change in order for the habbits not to repeat themselves as we are creatures of pattern.
The big question, for me as a pot smoker, is; should I use opioids to get clean?
God first but yea weed or I wouldn’t be clean from fentanyl going on 2 year
The answer is yes. I KICKED WITH WEED.
i love this comment section!!! because it‘s so real
It is not a good idea to try to stop a 50+ mg a day methadone dose with weed alone.
Im in danger of relapsing every damn day ……felt that one
Maine is sus
Mans went to doctor asked for please tell me is this sus
Micro dosing is better that stypidly go to zero and think that after years you can stop just like that without suffering, because dopamin drops so low and depression can happen even u smoke. Take c vitamin also make u better to go thru withdrawls and healty eating/exersice before quitting! Take care everybody whos trying to quit
Pennsylvania medical marijuana patient three years clean this month from opiates. We do recover
No
Got adicted to smoking weed for almost 6 years i am now almost 2 years clean. I did Smoke daily Dont trade one adiction for another. And dont forget if you have demons they still come back when you sober up. Just gather positive people around you. Try getting into positive routines and find the strenght to better yourself as a person and do good for the world.
such old content lmao
cannabis can saves the world
They dabbing like psychopaths
I hate this host so much, Hamilton Morris was so educated and well spoken. This guy is the worst
There is no medically agreed upon definition for "rehab" it's unscientific BS
Ive just watched all of this now im 100% all for weed but just going cold turkey of methadone theres no way i even think its dangerous take weed and come off juice slowy then you avoid the whole sick thing. Lasttime i came off methadone worked all the way down to 3mil stopped it even then i was still ill for 2 weeks.
I use fentanyl for the last 5 years and still is but I'm not bum I work cook clean I do it all I've been trying to stop but it's hard asf.. ain't no way weed is going to help because I get anxiety when I do smoke and trust me I tired many times. Before the dope/fentanyl I was a big pot like literally smoking QPs every 3 weeks
rather psylocibin
One thing i couldn't do is just come off methadone like that i came down 5mil at a time if i just stopped methodone i would of been to ill to even smoke weed.
My heart goes out to all these people wether they got clean or not the fact they could take a huge step like this and gice it their all im confident they can get clean one day and be happy
Yes it absolutely 100% can as I'm doing it at the moment I'm a 25 year herion user clean since the 30th December 2023 weed is helping me huge I can not be without it .
Overdose death rate went from 25k to 100k
You should do a documentary on HIGH DOSE VITAMIN C against heroin /opioid withdrawal
I used to be a heroin addict, and i ended up serving a bunch of time because id get caught with heroin, be put on probation and I'd use MMJ to kill my opiate cravings but then get violated on probation. Also, the fact that there is no qualified medical staff on duty in case of a medical emergency
All I want is for me to be able to grow it for my own needs. I hate giving money to dealers,for something I can grow myself, because in my country, you get caught with a gram, 10$ worth, it is 1000$ fine, you get cought with few plants, and you need a good lawyer not to go to jail for at least 6 months.. It is clasified as producing with intent to sell..
Look what the patient said at the 20 minute mark.
Cannabis doesn’t make people violent, just like guns don’t shoot people, people shoot people and violent people are merely violent.
Drunk people play GTA in real life, stoners play call of duty on ps5 😂
I’ll be 2 years clean this July from fent n any other opiate I could get and among other drugs thrown in there but my main problem was/is the opiates. I started when I was 17 I got clean at 26 after a really bad od. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and committed to and I know that’s the case for all addicts. I went the suboxen route and it’s worked amazingly for me. I’m completely sober from everything even tho I always said I would never stop smoking. I would love to smoke still but I’m worried about it altering my mind n making me go use again. But hearing and knowing it’s working for other addicts makes me so damn happy! We’re all in this together. No matter your age or race or sex or favorite color all of us addicts have a common enemy so I love seeing other addicts get clean! Keep up the amazing work and help all the addicts you guys can! And to anyone still struggling with addiction just know it won’t be easy but it’s the best thing you’ll do for yourself ever! I never believed the saying “I love being sober and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done” I swore there was no way to live sober but now I know that statement is very true so please just give it a shot! It changes your life for the good! Love y’all and stay safe n keep narcan around even if you don’t know an addict please keep it. You never know when it could save someone’s life.
Even if they are replacing one addiction with another is perfectly fine some people get into fitness or hobby, I am not a big weed user used to love not anymore but if it helps them to even become a functioning addict then I don't think anyone is going to complain.
I absoluttly can attest that weed not only somewhat helps with wd, but absolutly for me is the only real substitute that helps. With it I remain not just functional, but can grow as a person. And finally I can actually stay off the hard stuff. It is a travesty that in majority of the world alcohol is legal, yet in 2024 weed is still vilinized..
Weed makes me trip and makes my anxiety worse.
Kratom got me clean
ive got severe scoliosis as a 22 year old and chronic pain that i've had for over half my life. no meds have helped, and with worsening pain as i age i could see a world where i would have turned to opiates had i not found weed 2 years ago. only thing to truly help my sciatica in over a decade
Can help. But it always made me feel even worse. And I struggled for many years. Pot helped your mind, but doesn't help the detox
Just look at the comments here.
The mere fact the DEA delays re-scheduling when they shouldn’t even have that decision displays the corruption.
Cannabis is medicine at a state level in over 90% of the country!!!!!!
Big pharmaceutical companies & politicians should be ashamed of themselves in America!!
