Reply to comment by lipsticknic3 in TIFU by smoking too much weed and narcning myself by ZombiePenguinQueen42

I'm so sorry your sister died from aspiration due to an overdose. That is terrible and tragic.

I however use marijuana in conjunction with my opiates as advised by my dr. I've been able to reduce my opiates by half by using medical marijuana under the care of a licensed physician. I completely respect your opinions here tho. My biggest mistake that night was that I smoked my brother's weed that had a much higher thc content unlike mine that is less thc more cbd.

Again I am sorry about your sister.

Right on! I appreciate that you heard my opinion.

I guess I just... I rushed to faces of her and other people just out their minds.

I can see mmj as being great in pain relieving and harm reduction. I have no issues inherently with opioid either other than the addiction properties. And I read your post and I was like oh no.... this poor freaking person and I got legitimately terrified. And no doubt bc I've been ruminating on my sister so it felt more close to home.

It sounds like I jumped to a conclusion. I can definitely remember panic attacks I've had on pot and they've always been wild. So I now see this was more a one off than a , well call it medicating to the point of certain termination.

So I do apologize , sincerely. Also, if you're on opioids now at all you've got to have some high level chronic pain and I'm so sorry that you're going through that

You have nothing to be sorry about. I can see why my post would strike a nerve with you and bring up such a painful part of your life. And the way I received your reply was more of genuine concern because of your personal experience which is valid.

Before adding in the mmj I was on 100mcg/hr fentanyl patch(the strongest you can get outside of a hospital or being prescribed 2 patches to wear at a time) and oxycodone for break thru pain. I asked my dr if I could lower the fentanyl dose and add in mmj to compensate and he was all for it. So over 6 months we tapered me down to the 50mcg/hr patch and half the break thru oxy and I was able to get the same, if not better relief of my pain. I mainly use RSO as my mmj with the occasional joint that last me 3-4days taking just a few tips here n there.

Yes I am in severe chronic pain that will never be cured or fixed. I was in a motor vehicle accident as a young child and I was not in the proper child restraint seat for my size and age. As a result of that my gut was crushed by the lap belt that caused my intestines to rupture. Then as a teen I had a bowel obstruction that required surgery to remove the dead tissue and everything went tits up. That left me with a scar from sternum to my pelvis that's as wide as my hand and is widening constantly due to losing 40% of my abdominal muscles. So as it widens it also thins and now it's only a few millimeters thin separating my insides from out. You dont realize just how much you need your abs for walking, sitting, ect. So without the pain medication I literally cannot walk more than a few steps without collapsing.
