1. This sounds harsh at first, but carry on it is actually on your side; But - just the typical nerd "akshully" first.
cannabis is not cbd.
cannabis does not work for everyone.
nor do opioids. (the worst part for my friend who had to take care of her friend who was dying of cancer where opioids didn't work :()
pushers can diaf (weed or others)
2. here is the meat (if there is any in my opinion).
my roomie has similar issues/fears. there is a horrible situation with how opioids are handled in this country. there are a lot of stupid people who think weed solves everything.
statistically, weed DOES help on mass level (at least so far that we've seen). That doesn't mean it will work for everyone, nor that it's a panacea, nor that we should treat people suffering chronic pain issues who are able to maintain with a proper medical regime.
neither side is "evil" and we should stop fighting each other, when there should be support for both sides out of compassion. Too often advocates (I mean weed here) end up sounding like religious zealots.
We need sane legalization and proper medicalization of both cannabinoids and opioids without the hype cycles and evil actors in both legal and illicit channels. Having family members commit suicide due to chronic pain and mental health issues, this is an important issue to me, and it's infuriating to see well meaning people on both sides end up hurting the people who need help the most with illinformed and positions that seem more to satisfy their sense of self-superiority than actually finding solutions to help people.
