Patients are right to fear opioid addiction. It's the doctors' fear of cannabis that really makes me wonder.

- Red_Leaves_Flyy 4y agoNone of my doctors are afraid of cannabis. But they are afraid of federal charges and losing the their license or prescription privileges.
- klyrs 4y agoIt's legal where I live and doctors still give people the drug-seeking-behavior runaround if they so much as mention casual use. God forbid you want to manage pain with it.
- seattle_spring 4y agoCannabis doesn't do shit for my chronic pain, nor any other pain sufferers I know. It actually makes mine significantly worse. Nothing worse than hearing people say "have you tried marijuana!!?" for the millionth time.
- klyrs 4y agoYeah, it isn't the panacea that some people make it out to be. It doesn't reduce pain for me, it "backgrounds" it -- I can still feel the pain but it no longer bothers me. That isn't going to work for everybody.
