Opioids & U.s. Senate (Page 3) (Top voted first)

U.S. Senate has succumbed/conspired with health providers to practically eliminate severe or chronic pain med for the elderly. Some 16,800 deaths of young drug mixing punks & the cost of providing these meds; has caused the low level intelligence & greedy health providers to furiously lobby (bribe) the U. S. Senate to order a 40% decrease in severe/chronic meds for the elderly; not for young drug mixing "punks" because they will mix something else. It has been shown that the Senate members have been drunk or half drunk in decisions like this. Proof of the aforesaid? here it is: the Senate ignores 1.6 millions of deaths & or severe mutilations due to alcohol. Senators have never done heavy strenuous work that by the time you are 65/70 years old, everything hurts to a more or lesser degree. If the elderly & or severely injured/impaled were allowed to obtain these meds, even at a higher cost, they would be able to live somewhat normal lives & still be productive members of society. Solution: health providers should increase the charge to patients to cover costs and anyone under 60 years of age should be scrutinized thoroughly & no one should be allowed to take more than 3 or 4 10 MG per day. I have been taking 2 a day for 16 years & consider myself an expert on the subject. Anything more than 4 10 MG a day, would categorize you as an addict, according to all expert doctors on the subject.

I posted my story here about a month ago, and since then I have received the medical cannabis card.
(It only took about 3 months to get due to the slow process in Illinois government)

I tried the CBD oil for pain relief and so far it has been working great!
I've cut my dosage in half with the Endocet and I should be completely off of them in another month or so.

I first tried the CBD oil from a health food store, but it did nothing and it only made me sick from the fillers they had added to it.

The "real" CBD oil from the dispensary is a lot better, and it has some THC, but not enough to really get "high" on if you use it correctly.
Besides getting great pain relief, I only get a calming affect that also helps with my anxiety, depression. STRESS, and PTSD.

They have a lot of other products to try so it might take some time to figure out what works best for my situation.
I don't like the "high" associated with the products that contain higher levels of THC and only try out the products that have the highest CBD content.
And supposedly NOT addictive!!!
I also found that I could drop one of the blood pressure medications they had me on. Apparently the CBD oil helps lower blood pressure too!
And no, I'm not a pot head! I hate the smell and taste of that, but the oils and edibles are definitely worth checking into.

I heard that the Illinois Senate passed a law allowing doctors who are prescribing their patients the opioids can now prescribe the use of medical cannabis for chronic pain? And then those patients can receive a temporary medical cannabis card for one year?
Wouldn't it be great if insurance covered that?
Maybe someday after enough people find out the real benefits from using it they'll change things.
That is if BIG PHARMA allows it!

The only downside I see with this type of treatment for pain relief is, how long will it be when they decide to say we're in a medical cannabis crisis and then ruin that for us chronic pain sufferers too?
There probably won't be a crisis though since the medical cannabis is "taxed".

Like I said before, if they could collect taxes on the opioids there would be no crisis.
If they weren't collecting taxes on the alcohol and tobacco, those products would be banned too because of the crisis they have caused with all the dangers and deaths associated with those products over many decades.
But those in power who are addicted to the MONEY allow that to continue, as long as they get their cut!

But so far, this real CBD oil has been working great!
Hopefully they will add this to health insurance benefits and lower the costs.

Remember though that the real worst crisis in this country is the "MONEY ADDICTION crisis or MONEY DRUNKS crisis"!
Think about that one for a while, and hopefully you'll see it, if you haven't already noticed it before.
