  5. The FDA is just another corrupt branch of government owned by big pharma lobbyist.
    Also worth noting how much money DEA, and all the other corrupt governmental branches would lose if MJ is made legal, not decriminalized.

  6. I’m so happy that my state allows this as a medical alternative to the heavy pharma drugs which work, but, is like trying to hammer in a nail with a sledgehammer. I was on heavy stuff inpatient after multiple neurosurgery which virtually stopped my digestive system, and made me constantly vomit. These descriptions of withdrawal are unbelievably accurate. I’m just lucky that I was able to wean myself off, and replace the narcotics with medical marijuana, which is miles ahead of the stuff I was getting inpatient. I suffer little to no side effects, and, although this medicine is still prohibitively expensive, it's getting much cheaper. Liked the vid.

  7. Great series. Post-op for extensive neurosurgeries, and several other surgeries, I used the heavy stuff in recovery, and, they do take away pain, but, it’s not worth it, if there’s another available solution that doesn’t have the same nasty side effects as the heavy stuff. Medical marijuana is so much more preferable than the heavy stuff that needs to be heavily monitored. It’s a lot more work to treat someone with cannabis, but, the payoff is worth it. Doctors get paid a boatload of cash, so, I feel as though the doctors owe it to the patient to really evaluate the patient’s case, treat it properly, and take what the patient says seriously. Luckily, in the states, where I live, these ethics are common, and easily found in medical professionals, and I was able to treat my plethora of medical issues, including epilepsy with this lifesaver of a medicine. My only gripe is the cost, which, although it’s getting better, is still really expensive. I believe that the reduction of taxes specifically that makes this medicine so expensive, yet protected. Again, there should be precautions, but, while they help prevent crimes, they also increase the price of the medicine, and make it difficult for the patients who legitimately need the medicine to get it.

  8. I’m going to agree entirely with the idea of total replacement for opioid abuse. I have chronic migraines, and other general chronic pain due to neurosurgeries that I had almost 10 years ago, when I was about 16 years old. In my experience, the pharmaceutical narcos are addictive, and virtually shut down my digestive system. Although, medical can be expensive, it’s worth the money, in order to be pain free, and the price is going down. I know that I don’t need this medicine on a regular basis, and, my body’s chemistry allows me to stop whenever I want, and, my pain is totally alleviated with only medical marijuana. Liked the vid, and this is among my favorites. This is definitely an exit drug, because, the individual can use this to help them get off, or switch from heavier meds.

  9. I am perpetually appreciative for this medicine. I was, and am in an excessively uncomfortable amount of pain (what amount of pain isn’t) after 30+ neurosurgeries, and other general surgeries. I was on exceedingly powerful IV medications inpatient (fentanyl, dilaudid, etc.) post-op. I felt myself getting addicted to them inpatient, and was, and am constantly in pain from all my procedures, and my cancer. Even after I was discharged, I was still in excessive pain. Although it’s expensive, it’s getting less so, and more accepted, and accessible as a medicine. Liked, and favorited.

  12. This is a great movie and what they are talking about is real I am a recovering opiate addict that is currently on methadone I am sober today because of it but I still have a long road ahead of me but I really believe in cannibis and its effects on pain and how giving this to people instead of opiates is such a good idea 😊

  14. It should be the FIRST line of defense rather than an exit drug!!!! When our physicians are free to share this information, that is when you will see the opioid crisis fall to its knees!!!

  16. So glad it has gotten legal here in Canada , I was on many medications few years ago cause of an autoimmune disease . All those medications left me with long term side effects even after I stopped taking them .

  19. I'm now going on 8 days sober from hydrocodone and tramadol. My last dosages were high and that when I realized I can't go on like this. I'm losing my money, my time and my life. I started marijuana again I was taking it with the opioids and noticed that I was taking less when I had cannabis with me so I decided to try it, but this time I was going cold turkey.

    Now, for a backstory, I've been on and withdrawal from these opiates for 13 years. The dosages weren't high just 4 of 5 a day. But, this time it was different I binged down almost 200 tramadols within a week and consumed about 23 50mg Tramadol in a less than 10 hour period. I hand dwindle what was suppose to last two months into an almost 2-week span. Not a day later I got 12 hydrocodone and within another 10 hour period only 4 were left and that next day I took them. That was the last time I had them. The next day I woke up and started crying. Not cause I knew withdrawal was gonna come, but this time intervention happened. My doctor was raided which meant no more pain meds. He was over prescribing me. I played into it and wouldn't admit to the things I did and money I wasted (lots I mean) on these fucking drugs.

    That day I went through like the 5 stages of grief. The next day I felt free, but I knew my recovery was gonna be hard and my mind being bipolar and going through manic and depressive episodes will always play against me. In fact, that drug was a crutch to my illness. All those times I had to go without it I acted like a spoiled brat doing what they could to get that drug that made me numb to who I was. There was a time I was healthy working out, eating well and living life. Then with one pill, it all ended that's what I thought and that's what that drug makes you feel. It's like an abusive relationship you keep coming back to cause you think this time is different and it never fucking is.

    So, I started smoking cannabis to help and it's helping. As an illustrator, I suffer a lot of aches and pains and as you know going through opiate withdrawal the pain you had before amplifies to 9000. With cannabis, I just feel discomfort and take some ibuprofen. Luckily, my psychologist understood, but here's the thing I have to be careful since I'm on Klonopin ( a benz0 for anxiety) and Ambien for insomnia. So, I gotta plan out my day which gave me something to do. Being only day 8 my strength is coming back granted the pain is still there and the mental stress is there, but with cannabis and starting to be the person I was before these drugs have helped.

    At the end of it, all rock bottom doesn't mean the climb back up can't be at least a little easy. For us, with mental illness, I say this I know numbing the pain and trying to take away the feelings of sadness and get that extra boost when your manic seems like a good idea, but running from ourselves will only hurt us and could kill us. We have to acknowledge our illness not hide it through opiates or more hardcore drugs. At the end of the day our pain, the struggle to feel it makes life real. It makes it worth living and worth working harder. Yes, we will always have our mental illness and instead of running from it we have to face it and accept the help we need. If I can sit here and look myself in the face and say "You got this, bitch." then I know for a fucking fact someone else can cause I'm not the best person, but I'm getting there.

    I say cannabis should be legal in all states. It's ridiculous how it's looked at and it's all through the eyes of big pharma. Y'all know there some congress or senators smokin some herb. Let's not lie, but the drug companies own them and that's not good business when people stop using their drugs in favor of a more safer option to help their pain and whatever else.

  20. Cannabis is safe and effective, but does not provide the Trillions of Dollars that synthesized pain medications do. So, what do we do? Well, let's legalize cannabis with a caveat…. you cannot grow your own and you must buy from an approved & licensed store with excessive taxes that go to the state for unknown uses (i.e. pocket lining).

  27. Cannabis is the ONLY medicine that has successfully helped me with my PTSD but because I live in Australia and it's illegal here, I'm considered a criminal and a low life for using it. It's just wrong and it makes me sick that it's still illegal in this day and age.

  35. the crisis is not from no proper treatment but its rather from mismanagement from the process from the lab to the distributer and the high that comes from the profits.. or rather creates and uses loop holes to make profits , the problem is not treatment but rather its a prevention issue .

  37. I'm beginning to get it down pat myself – trial and error. A 12:3 CBS/THC ratio seems to work well for daytime and even evening but pure CBD during the day… I'm getting there. Much more expensive than prescriptions but fewer side effects.

  40. You're using the so-called "Opioid Epidemic" to push your pro-marijuana agenda. As a long time chronic pain sufferer with a wrecked back and the MRIs to prove it, I can tell you that marijuana does NOT alleviate my pain. If it did, I'd gladly use it. I've tried pure CBD oil too, and all that did was eventually give me hives… NO relief. Marijuana makes me eat too much, be too paranoid to even answer my phone, and eventually puts me to sleep. There's is no way I could function normally while stoned. I take 45 mgs of Oxycodone a day to manage my pain. I'd prefer not to have to deal with that hassle, but it's all that works, and I've successfully managed to take it for about eight years now without the addiction problems that some people who lack self-control have experienced. If you want to smoke pot, that's your business, but don't throw responsible "Opioid" users under the bus by suggesting that becoming a pothead will solve our pain problems.

  44. As a recovering addict i can tell you first hand that cannabis has helped me with my psychosis and all other mental and body issues that come with recovering from long term drug use. STAY STRONG.

  45. Govenment and big pharma with doctors turned people on and then took it away when it went out of controle… Canabis is naturally safe and very usefull. Give humans back the herb take it away from control by law for profit.
