    When I moved here from Canada I had to stop my cannabis prescription and the alternative the doc said was tramadol… so fair enough I had used morphine and hydromorphine back home after surgeries… NOPE Tramadol was SO much worse. At the max I was using only 1/8th what this man was and it fucked me up!

    When I wanted off, the doc said “we will have to ween you off and give possibly use methadone” and I was so mad that this dirty ass pain killer was given to me.

    I went to Canada for 6 weeks instead and used, you guessed it, Cannabis to ween off instead of methadone and it made a MASSIVE difference. My doc said while the NHS cant approve of it, I had made the right call and that he was on the side of using cannabis to help ween from opiate dependency.

    There are so many better pain killers than tramadol, its criminal that its still prescribed.
