Sarah, my 78 yr old pillar of the community best friend has chronic pain in her hands. Her hydrocodone use over many years is causing tiny cracks in her spine from osteoporosis. I believe many other side effects. Her 51 year old friend is addicted to opioids as well--and just had a mini stroke (also smokes)
She could qualify for a medical marijuana card in Arizona.
She would have to go through withdrawal of course to get of the hydrocodone.
Here's my question: how do you drive and think clearly if you use medical marijuana as your main source of pain releaf? Omg, releaf is an mj mfr . I was just on their page. LOL
We had a serious argument about her looking for solutions to this problem. Really need some ideas here.
