Wow! I can’t be.ieve what a firestorm this topic stirred up! Everything has side effects, everything has the risk of killing brain cells. There is good and bad with all drugs and therapies. We have had several doctors, including Dr Remzi, recommend medical marijuana to my son. He had to get off all the opioids. Almost anything is better than opioids. And finding pain management in this day and age is nearly impossible. With respect to Jeffrey, I don’t believe he has tried the marijuana yet. He has been on methodone for pain management and it has helped tremendously. He should be getting off of it shortly and then he will see how he feels. He is nervous about it, so it is entirely up to him. We’ll see. But the most important thing is that he is off all the opioids and getting better. This journey seems to never end!
