If I am ever terminal cancer I will smoke and drink whatever it takes to manage the pain and avoid opiates.
Should I be arrested? You know, I just might get addicted to pot without a doctors script instead of getting addicted to opiates with a doctors script. Then die of cancer in jail shortly thereafter.
Don’t take the opiates. They will destroy you.
Functioning opiate addicts I know that can sustain stability: Zero.
Functioning pot addicts I know that can sustain stability: Need my digits, and yours to count them all.
I saw my grandmother die from metastasized breast and liver cancer. Literally nothing touched the pain. She writhed and suffered for weeks.
If pot helps that sort of agony, go to town on it. It is immoral to allow that level of suffering when there are ways to keep it at bay.
I don’t do drugs, and rarely drink, and what people do to their own selves is not my business. I choose not to imbibe, but would never force my beliefs on other individual adults.
I saw more than a few kick off like that, in the joint.
