    Kind of just hit this point. Weed is medical for me but at the same time it’s become so what you’ve said as well

    Sunday was my last smoke so far.

    Been smoked for almost 30 years now. The hard part I’m struggling with is replacement for the medicated part. Weed cured my insomnia and pain issues.

      Even as a non-medical user, sleep is a hard adjustment. When I stopped using, I stopped sleeping through the night.

      I do have to say that I feel less groggy when I wake up now, after an adjustment period, than I ever did while I smoked heavily. Though I think I’m just generally more alert - I’m still not sleeping well.

      Pain is tough. I hope you find a solution that works for you. ❤️

        Thank you

        Today was rough. Been bed ridden since mid day and had to abandon work early cause of pain

        The thing that scares me is potentially needing to replace cannabis with pharmaceuticals to deal with the pain, and I’m not sure that’s better

        But this is a conversation to have with my doctor
