cannabis doesnt make the pain go away like an opiods do, but for chronic pain the side effects with opiods on the long term are way to negetive for what they bring. Cannabis will, for CHRONIC pain, make you forget about it wich is perfect, chronic pain is not only about pain but mental illness, when you feel the pain everyday you get really depress
Marijuana can help some types of pain and is a helpful tool, but most pain patients who go to a pain management doctor usually need at least some dose of opioid.

Shut the fuck up like we don't know everything you're saying but that's people with pain some people need that stuff but you know what I would love to try medical marijuana the CBDs or whatever they're called but you're so full of bullshit
Bullsh*t !!!!! I have ALS with chronic pain ,clawed hands and muscle spasms. I have both marijuana and oxycodone and get'n ready to add morphine cause marijuana doesn't do anything!
I appreciate your presentation. Just want to tell you, there are several.other plants that contain cannabinoids. Just look it up. But, I agree with your premises…… CANNABIS is effective & safe for many ills. Good on you!!!
Some of the things that I constantly have to correct: 1) Doctors don't get people addicted and they doubt shove pills down your throat. Every person who claims this has done one of the following: 1a) they lied to their doctor (Even in alleged "pill mills" 1b) they took more than prescribed or in a different way than prescribed- they didn't follow directions 1c) they took it for something other than pain 2) State monitoring programs hurt more people that they help and they violate our privacy rights. 3) Drug testing, pill counts, and contacts were meant for addicts, but spread to the pain community. We complied and what did wet getin return? We got treated even worse. Morphine is no different than exogenous insulin and the restrictions on patients should be similar. Just like your body makes insulin, it makes endorphin (ENDOgenous mORPHINe- morphine used to be spelled morphin). If you take too much insulin, you can die from that overdose too. They're both physically dependent and require a taper to safely discontinue. 4) long-term pain patients have a 0.04-0.2% per annum chance of becoming addicted- lower than the general population 5) The decision of the appropriateness of opioids in any given patient should be made on an individual basis by doctors and the patients (and NO ONE else). We patients have to live with the consequences of undermedication and we would have to live with the consequences of over-medication 6) Addiction is a disease of dopamine (what cocaine and methamphetamine directly release) and a certain ninety of people are going to become addicts, maybe their drug of choice will be cocaine, maybe heroin, but addicts don't get made, their born 7) socially factors play a significant role in addiction 8) heroin isn't spiked with fentanyl, it's spiked with an illicit fentanyl analogue with unknown potency. 9) Pharmaceutical fentanyl is a great pain reliever with few side effects and almost no euphoria when abused. Although, is does have a higher than average risk of respiratory depression in opioidnaive patients 9) The crack down on doctors is killing people because they went from oxycodone pills with known dose and potency and moderately high euphoria when abused and a low risk of respiratory depression to heroin and fentanyl analogues with unknown potency and less euphoria. That's why people overdose 10) cannabis is not a replacement for opioids. Although it helps some people with some kinds of pain, it is mostly a good adjunct medication to enable opioids sparing. 11) There is no ceiling with opioids, they are safe at any dose if properly titrated. 12) Opioid overdose is extremely rare. Without mixed drug toxicity, people get sick before they overdose. "opioid related deaths" are any death that the patient had any opioid in their system when they died (they do the same hit job with Kratom). Usually, the real cause of death is combining alcohol with barbiturates and/or benzodiazepines
The answer to the opioid "crisis": 1) acknowledge that it is minor compared to the chronic pain crisis 2) full legalization where you can buy an opioid of a known potency and dose (methadone would be a good candidate to start with) at a pharmacy. You should have to meet withthe pharmacist and they should have to council you on the risks, offer information on treatment options if they believe you're addicted (or hearing that way), and sign an informed consent form. 3) They shouldn't be allowed to deny sale to any mentally competent adult 4) We also need to enhance the social safety net and make therapy and voluntary rehab free and readily available. 5) Stop making people "detox" when they go to rehab and immediately start them on methadone (big barrier to treatment)
We need to stop thinking that we can get everyone to stop taking drugs. We need to focus on making every addict a functional addict and making sure people who are ready to stop have help.
Pain patients need to stop being treated like addicts and we can't accept pill counts and urine testing (intended for dual diagnosis; chronic pain and addiction). It's no wonder the medical community thinks they can treat us like addicts, we've let them treat us like addicts for a decade. Doctors need to build a relationship with their patients, not blackmail them into one sided contracts that protect the doctor and strip away our rights while blackmailing is into high reimbursement, low success rate procedures, like steroid injections
This lady has no idea what she's talking about. Cannabis is not a great pain reliever. Is great for opioid sparing and we should use it before opioids,but not in old them. Prescription opioid overdose is extremely rare, most people die from illicit Chinese fentanyl analogues.
There is no preference by doctors to treat pain worth opioids
If pot helps your pain you never had severe enough pain to begin with to start taking opioids. Dependence is different than addiction. And opiods aren't what's killing people, its MAN MADE stuff fake fentanyl and other stuff. Pot enhances my migraines (that's just one of my pains) Stop treating pot like this ridiculous miracle drug. If I smashed a hammer on your head, broke your jaw (that's what my tmj feels like half the time) and somehow gave you infections endometriosis, trust me pot would not touch it, you'd be BEGGING for an opiod.
To date Heroin and Fentanyl is the leading cause of overdoses verse prescriptions opioids by far and this trend started in 2015 per the CDC. The information has just been released. Since 2017 the government is making it hard to find data on this information from the CDC/NIDA/DEA and so fourth. I have been following this for two years. I was waiting for the new data which never came out for 2016. I made predictions, I want to verify. https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/analysis.html
Thanks for the commentary, Cindy. This is such a large issue… people trying to manage pain, anxiety and stress, and they often wind up with an ongoing addiction crisis. We need to help people find alternative options, like your book suggests.
Thk you

People aren't addicted to something if they take them as directed…
Keep up this great work Cindy!!! very proud of you and this content!

Cannabis cannot touch my pain, might as well be ibuprofen. Wait, that's not fair, ibuprofen is effective against mild to moderate pain.
Nicely done and well stated.
Shut the fuck up like we don't know everything you're saying but that's people with pain some people need that stuff but you know what I would love to try medical marijuana the CBDs or whatever they're called but you're so full of bullshit

Marijuana leads to street drugs like Heroin, Crack etc. Plus it deaded the brain cell so you become Stupid!
Marijuana consumption doesn't cause tolerance?
Ever heard of "tolerance break" ?
I appreciate your presentation. Just want to tell you, there are several.other plants that contain cannabinoids. Just look it up.
But, I agree with your premises…… CANNABIS is effective & safe for many ills. Good on you!!!
Marijuana does not work for severe pain. It can work for mild to moderate pain, but severe pain requires stronger pain relief than just cannabis.

That is stupid. Weed doesn't kill pain! It just gets you high!

Hi Cindy Thanks! For Such A Good Video. Really Liked It!
Umm. You are wrong on one statement. There is a tolerance level and it increases each time, no matter the type of intake.
To date Heroin and Fentanyl is the leading cause of overdoses verse prescriptions opioids by far and this trend started in 2015 per the CDC. The information has just been released. Since 2017 the government is making it hard to find data on this information from the CDC/NIDA/DEA and so fourth. I have been following this for two years. I was waiting for the new data which never came out for 2016. I made predictions, I want to verify.
