Yep. I just had Rotator Cuff Surgery (Mountain Bike Crash in July). The MD's gave me the usual Opiods for the pain - but I also have my Medical Cannabis Card.
Needless to say, I took the Opiods for the first few days and then switched to Edibles ASAP. Opiods can kill you. Cannabis can't. Cannabis is non-toxic.
I haven't had a beer or a drink in almost 6 weeks and everytime I want some alcohol - I just hit my vape instead.
And I feel 100% better now that I am not drinking alcohol. This may seem silly coming from me - but I really think alcohol is poison. Cannabis is just a better alternative for me in so many ways.
