Cannabis + Pain Meds?

[swamper]

Hey all, 

I just returned to My home in Michigan after two miserable years in Texas and have to ask if anyone knows the answer to this question:

Can I now use marijuana along with my pain medication, or am I still a fkn criminal for doing so?

[Wild Bill]

Cannabis is now legal in Michigan for both medical and recreational use.

But, is it legal to coadminister with prescription pain medication?

[swamper]

I'll take that as a hard no, it's still illegal in the eyes of our masters. Yet I can drink like a fish and no one cares.

You should try to get off the prescription pain pills and get down to over the counter type. They are not good for the long term like cannabis. 

[swamper]

Yeah, that's not gonna happen as long as I have to keep working. Some people are unfortunate enough to require pain medication because nothing else helps them. It's like my spine is slowly dissolving, and muscles are turning to stone, but alas, you wouldn't understand what it's like unless you've lived it.

Cannabis does little for pain, but helps me exercise.

I spent three years in Texas working construction.

It takes a lot less gas to drive to Texas than it does to drive back to Michigan ... because Texas sucks. lol

I came to know it as Texsux!

That is just one of my issues, wish it was all.

I am caught in this trap. I was denied SSDI because I can work while taking pain medication per the judge's decision in 2014. Now I am treated like bunny muffin each and every month to get my medicine in order to keep working, per the judge's decision. I have had my medication lowered to the point I am in pain all day everyday and still have to work. This is so messed up, that I cannot live like this much longer. I feel like I am being kept alive solely for the reason of paying taxes.

Enbrel helps a lot.

[swamper]

I was on Enbrenl when my symptoms started, the VA put me on Humerus, I got down to Texsux, and the Houston VA told me I don't have RA and took me off my meds when all I wanted was to be put back on Enbrenl. Now nearly two years later still trying to get put back on and my spine pain has progressed to the point I had to quit my job. Not happy.

cannabis + meditation is the way.. if you just knew what effect gives weed and meditation in a couple.. meditation helps u analyze every subsconscious deregulation with big awareness and fix problems like bunny muffin from ur childhood that has printed into your mind for long, thought u can't even see that, and weed helps u chill the body so u would be able to do that meditation lol. Sometimes I order kratom capsules to use along with weed, the effect seems twice as good as normal, but weed is just more than enough. I could never fix my stressed with alcohol or drugs, but books and meditation.. and weed of course lol.

Cannabis is a pretty nice thing man, you an use it and just take your time without any problems. I love that now everybody wants to legalize weed because it became a good alternative for everything that is harmful for our bodies. I've smoked maria for many years but now I got tired of it and I am consuming just nothing except water and CBD gummies that taste good. I am chewing gummies and relaxing. This thing helps me to forget about the bad things that happened to me in the past past or something like this.

Sounds like its time to find a new doctor. You don't have to disclose cannabis use, i wish i never did. It changed my doctor's whole attitude towards me and my pain. I am looking for a new doctor currently, i will admit to occasional recreational use. I will not associate it with being what i use to treat pain. I don't want to tell my new doc at all, but i will, just in case there could be interaction with other meds.

[atimed]

I'm not a legal expert, but from what I know, it's legal for recreational use in Michigan. Still, mixing it with pain meds might have some consequences, so it's smart to check with a doc.
