> Larry, I've read your posts about the right dose of opiate to give some pain relief but not euphoria/whatever and am interested that what seems (from one point of view!) like a lot of opiate (80mg Oxycodone) gives that and no more. But that's opiates I guess.
My pain increased substantially in two separate waves. There may be some tolerance, but my dose is pretty stable, between these two triggering events. I take it p.r.n., despite the size of the total dose.
> When I said that about this being the substance use board I was talking about myself (of course), justifying my reserve about psych drugs. It's hard to find the right words to convey meaning here and get the nuances right.
I didn't know where to post, honestly, and I actually am concerned about substance abuse. I have a history. If nothing else, it's a blunt reminder to myself.
> With cannabis I think eating it is the best, as long as you judge it right. Less of a shock to the system.Ya, smoking is not my first line process. I'm giving some serious thought to vaporizers, but good ones are a lot of money.
Eating is definitely going to be one of the experiments. The compassion club has a number of products to consider.

> DeclanThanks, dude. I feel more proactive going ahead with this, as compared to getting narcotics prescriptions month after month. But it's going to cost me a bundle. Que sera.
Thanks for walking with me, for a bit. The company was much appreciated.
