http://stash.norml.org/morphine-cannabis-combo-may-boost-painkilling-response The Growing Truth About Cannabis Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:51:45 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 http://stash.norml.org/morphine-cannabis-combo-may-boost-painkilling-response/comment-page-1#comment-1099 John Hedgecoth Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:14:34 +0000 http://stash.norml.org/?p=1467#comment-1099 This is good news for me. Well in a way it's not news. I already know that cannabis reduces, at least mine, dependance on morphine. I was prescribed morphine by the VA about three 1/2 years ago to help combat pain from severe fibromyalgia. After being told at my last appointment that the only thing the VA can do for me is to up my daily dosage I decided to use cannabis on a regular basis. I've almost cut the morphine use in half by using edibles made from trim and fan leaves. I also use bud for "break-through" pain days. With the recent encouraging news I can ALMOST see a faint light at the end of a 72 year tunnel. It's also encouraging to see more and more people not afraid to speak out against the injustices perpepuated in the name of "keeping us safe" I pray that more and more will speak out and continue to speak and to scream at the top ofour collective voice that enough is enough.
