RE: New Research Suggests Painkillers Might Make Chronic Pain Worse
Nice post. Very interesting and informative.
However, there is always a degree of trade off in these matters. As someone who has use opiate derivatives for 12 years, I can speak for the benefit they bring. They do need care in their management, and an understanding of their potential drawbacks, but they are effective.
Often the problem is not the drug, but the inability of the patient to accept that he or she must adapt to a lifestyle that puts less physical stress on the body. Pain is a warning sign, that far too many people try to hide from their view behind a barrier of pain.

cannabis can be said to be far more effective and doesn't possess the long-term dangers that opioids do. The fact remains that opioids are toxic to the liver. Doesn't matter if you take them as prescribed or if you abuse them, they are still toxic.
The state in which I live, Kentucky, is plagued with addiction and overdoses because of opioids. This problem lies true across most of the rolling hills and mountains of Appalachia where the world's best cannabis is cultivated. The problem is the cultivation of cannabis is illegal . Our people sit addicted, with no hope, living in poverty while they could be cultivating and harvesting a crop that is known to manage pain and many other conditions. Our government has made a gift from God illegal. I am thankful that CBD oil is currently legal in all 50 states.
