54... Weird thing is that after growing up in FL in the 70's and smoking into my 20's, I stopped until this year. I'm a sober alcoholic so it seemed a bit funky to use cannabis but after speaking to many of my sober friends about it we came to this conclusion: I had been on legally prescribed pain meds for almost 7 yrs. at that point so if the goal was to reduce or eliminate the need for the opiates then it was a logical step. I'm truly grateful that this has been so effective-and it gives me a chance to grow some really gnarly ganja.
This is the situation my husband is facing. Been on opiates for 10 years now. Stronger and stronger, then try to wean off, have a health setback and go back up stronger and stronger. He has been through this merry go round 4 or 5 times now. Once again he is trying to wean off. Started smoking weed for one month, which was helping tremendously. Wham, gets hits with a urine test by his opiate prescriber and failed. Now caught between a rock and a hard place. He is now on month two of no weed so he can pass next urine test. And still weaning off opiates. He is suffering terribly. It's a F*&^ing nightmare for him.
