Medicinal cannabis offers people a natural alternative to opioids, narcotics, and other prescription drugs. Many patients are making the switch because of the harmful and long lasting side effects of prescription medication.
Although cannabis does have some side effects, they are typically very mild. Some of the most common side effects include:
Dry/red eyes
Fatigue/drowsiness
Change in appetite
Change in mood
Drug abuse is an epidemic in the United States. According to the CDC, over 932,000 people have died since 1999 from overdose. Sadly, the number continues to climb and increase each year.
Prescription drugs are very easy to become reliant on, and your tolerance to them builds as time goes on. This makes it easier to overdose, not to mention all of the side effects patients already have to endure from these drugs.
Did you know marijuana can help with substance abuse disorders? That’s right, medical cannabis can be a great treatment option for those who are struggling with prescription medication.
Cannabis and Substance Abuse
Marijuana can reduce dependency on other drugs and can be used as a very effective harm reduction treatment. Getting off a medication that you have been relying on to feel better for years is not an easy task, and not everybody can do it cold turkey.
Cannabis offers another way out. Patients can work toward replacing their prescription drugs with medical cannabis, and eventually get completely off of both. Sometimes, patients will continue to use medical marijuana after they are off of the other drugs because they find it improves their overall quality of life.
Patients can use cannabis to help curb unhealthy urges for opioids, narcotics, and alcohol. Marijuana does not have a lethal dose, so it is already much safer than prescription medication that people may be relying on.
Not to mention, withdrawals are very possible when you are getting off narcotics or opioids. Withdrawals can be painful, annoying, and very unpleasant for most people, and marijuana can help with that, too.
The Bottom Line
Cannabis can be a great option for those struggling with substance abuse and addiction. It can make the transition much smoother and allow people to curb their unhealthy cravings for their medications.
Although cannabis does have some side effects, they pale in comparison to the alternative. Withdrawal and recovery can be very intense and hard on your body, and marijuana can help with all of it.
