Prescription painkiller deaths fall in medical marijuana states
A lot of people on prescription opioids don't want to be on them, but they may be the only legal thing that helps with the pain. And then addiction and physical dependence become an issue.Neuropathy is a case in point. Many people don't respond to SSRIs or SNRIs, or the side effects simply can't be tolerated. The next step is opioids.I for one would much rather use a plant, rather than opioids that cause addiction, physical dependence, and potentially a life-ruining downward spiral of misery.
