Until you’ve experienced the effects of opioid addiction you can’t knock or judge what a recovering addict does to stay away from opioids 😇

Mushrooms did wonders in my life. Over the course of my life, I've suffered from uncontrollable, depression, anxiety, alcohol, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for a long time and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. This is something that really needs to be used globally to help people with similar health challenges. I've been sober for 6 years and have my life back.

I'm a current addict, and hearing that Harvard doctor say "it makes sense to me, too, and I wish them well" meant a lot. That's humility to say *my profession obviously doesn't have the answer, so I'm all for anybody trying essentially ANYTHING, because anything is better than the situation we've currently got."

Years ago, I hurt my back at work and went on worker's comp. I had a doctor who told me, "Do you need anything? I can give you anything you want." I always said no, because I knew too many people who were prescribed opiates and were addicted, besides, I didn't like how they made me feel. I had him prescribe me the biggest Motrins he could. I would go to the office to get my prescription every month and the waiting room was packed, plus a line out the door, with addicts waiting for their scripts. When I went to my comp hearings, the comp insurance stopped paying me because the IME's said I was malingering because I wasn't taking opiates. I must not be in that much pain if I'm only taking Motrins. The judge asked why I wasn't taking them and I told her why. She said, "That's good enough for me," and ordered them to keep paying me.

I’m very proud of Bo, he’s got that look in his eyes that says he actually wants to be clean.

I was a fent user for years, I tried getting clean 3 times until it finally worked. 6 months later I found a fent pill while cleaning my car and thought to myself, I’ll save this until my Suboxone wears off, and then I smoked some weed a few hours later and thought to myself, wtf am I thinking saving that poison for later? And I tossed it. I have ADHD and believe it or not, weed makes me think clearly and act less impulsively

I was on crack, heroin and methadone for 24 years. I got fed up of programs failing for me. So I decided to do it all myself. I stopped everything but the methadone. I was on 90 ml. Tapered it down to 1 ml over about a year. I took 1 ml for two weeks then stopped. I had zero withdrawal. Been clean about 10 years now.

I’m a methadone patient who uses cannabis daily. I recovered and came back from the street shooting speedballs daily. I now have a job, savings, investments, a fiancée and good relationship with my children. I will always be an addict and alcoholic. I went to AA for years too and haven’t drank for 20 years. Opiates were harder to quit than liquor.

Cannabis is an EXIT, not a gateway!!! This is a great example on why cannabis education is SO important! I love the work they are doing and I hope they’re able to keep it up for years to come. ❤

I love seeing all these comments of people recovering and dealing with this together. We are outcast, discounted because of "our choices" and when we choose the least harmful of our options, we are still put in a class. But we aren't a class, we are people, with stories and life experience different from everyone else. It hurts how some others will cut off communication based on their bias on cannabis users, further alienating people that might take something from or might need a conversation. Much love❤❤❤

32 years sober, and cannabis saved my life after starting it when I had 27 years. I have worked in addictions and this medicine is a god send. Nothing that made me better can be found in a hospital, and everything that nearly killed me, including the pharmaceutical business can be.

Coming from a current opiod addict, if your withdrawing smoking weed is one of WORST ways to coupe with that withdrawal. Anxiety & for some reason the withdrawals go through the roof. This is MY PERSONAL experience as everyone is different.... to everyone who is hooked on pills, i hope we can get out of this mess one day.... 🙏

2 years sober after a 30 year drinking career. Weed helped immensely. Living in Holland with our coffeeshops is a blessing

when i was using i couldn't smoke pot. every time i would get high i'd have really bad anxiety because all i could focus on was how terrible i was living, how i needed to inject myself with this plastic tube upwards of 7x a day just to feel "normal" and how i destroyed all my personal relationships over a powder pressed into tablets. i've been clean and sober since 2013-14, i don't smoke ciggies, i don't drink alcohol but i do smoke the ganja everyday once i'm done my daily workout. without any of the anxiety and racing thoughts i used to have see, i think the weed was "training" my brain so to speak, it forced it to confront the realities i was trying to escape from whenever i'd get high while still using opiates because i'm no longer living that way or doing the things i was doing, marijuana and me are good, but if something in my life isn't right or isn't going how its supposed to be the blessed herb lets me know ASAP! God made weed, man made speed ... Who, do you trust?

Been clean off crack for over 15 years due to cannabis. It took smoking weed to make me realize just how stupid I was being smoking crack. I had forgotten how good it felt to just be stoned. I used to always drink alcohol and that was what lead me to crack as I always made the worst decisions when drunk or under the influence of alcohol. This one time i didn't have enough money to buy a 40oz of malt liquor before smoking crack, but I had some weed and since I couldn't gather enough change to get any alcohol. I just smoked some weed first and it was while high that I had this moment of realization of just how stupid I was being and how i was really fixing to throw my life away and mess everything up for good. I didn't smoke the crack I had bought that day. I cut it up in small piece s and sold it to the crack head across the street from where I was living at the time ( Not the most ethical thing to do ) but I had to get rid of the crack so I wouldn't even be tempted to smoke it and from that day on I only smoked weed and been clean off crack since October 18th 2008. Now I don't even smoke weed all the time. I can take it or leave it, but have no desire to ever go back to crack. So happy I'm still clean from that. You can say ( oh, you're just replacing one drug for another ) but there is a BIG difference between weed and crack same with weed and opiates. Weed is a much milder drug and while it can be habit forming. I have never stolen for weed.

“It makes sense to me too.” Hearing the Harvard educated doctor say that is a powerful statement
