Rep Power: 66 | MMJ and Recovery together I've noticed there's lots of us who used to do other drugs that made our lives unmanageable, but have learned to live functionally, humbly, and peacefully with the aid of medical marijuana. I've heard rumors that there are certain NAs that are very tolerant to the idea of MMJ. If anybody knows of which ones, could they post their info here? Also, if there is no such group, why shouldn't we group together and support each other? |

Rep Power: 3186 | Re: MMJ and Recovery together I'm not an opiate addict, but I was totally hooked on tranquilizers for years. Medical MJ is what has gotten me off them. I went from taking it every day, to taking it once in a while, to not taking them at all, and using MMJ the entire time. I don't think I could have done it without the MMJ. What I'm saying is, MMJ has straightened out my drug problem. Is that crazy? It wasn't what I originally started taking it for, but I'm off tranqs for the first time in 10 years, and I just started using it 2 1/2 years ago. Can it be used to help wean people off hard drugs? I think it can. It's a whole lot easier to walk away from MJ than a physically addicting drug. Just my 2 cents. Good luck to everybody quitting any addiction. It can be done. |

Rep Power: 71 | Re: MMJ and Recovery together i have been sober for two years, but I take 3 different psyc meds. I am fearful of the things that these meds may cause, diabetes being one. I am scared to think that I could not handle mj or something. I hate to see my parents so despondent over this drug, as they have been. |
