For me it does. I have a little brain damage from years ago. My bad leg starts kicking in the middle of the night from the spasms and wakes me. Not a way to sleep good. Anyway when I smoke I can go all night with no problems.

I don't know why you even asked such an obvious question. The evidence is overwhelming and the specifics still need a lot more research to answer fundamental clinical questions on what to use how. And, yes, big science and big government will land with big feet but maybe we'll all learn more, like about your specific question regarding lungs.

For myself, Cannabis stops my epileptic seizures.

I used a strong Indica to help me quit my morphine addiction of 7 yrs.
I truly believe I would have died without it.

Good to know, I know someone with this problem as well. What is the particular cannabis strain you use for this?

Yeah, I have heard of it's uses for many years. I just hope the government doesn't get too restrictive with the medical cannabis dispensaries around the United states! And nice, yes. I would say it's a very good "Anti-Dickhead Medicine" too, haha!

First-hand experience and direct input from people is always more of an interesting read to me than what a medical journal tells me, thanks for sharing

Good to know, I have heard quite a lot about reducing addiction, do you know how well it may help for someone with a Tobacco addiction, or is it a pretty much catch-all for any kind of addiction?

Full on exit herb.
I, and my wife, quit tobacco over 15 years ago, zero cravings. Also assisted in my quitting meth and opiates at separate times.

Cannabis has zero physical addictions. Cannabis also assists greatly with self-reflection, a very valuable tool for people wishing to become aware of and eliminate an addiction. Once the original issues are solved, cannabis assists with breaking the mental and physical addictions involved.

Without issues, generally become social users of cannabis. Granted there are a number of issues people are unaware of, triggering daily use anyway. lol

Aspirin nearly killed one of my kid sisters, when they were about 4yrs old. Would have simply slept a few days, if it'd been cannabis. LOL

Thumbs up

yup. it helps me with arthritis pain in my shoulders from working in a federal munitions plant. some nights i stacked 60 lb boxes for 12 hours, up to 3 or 4 tons worth. i would roll over in my sleep & wake up gasping in pain from rolling onto my shoulder. no way to get back to sleep but smoke a one hit or two. it also kept the neuropathic pain in my feet at bay, a use that i recently discovered was a common medical usage up into the 1930s. it can also be very helpful with migraine headaches, which i suffered from for nearly 50 years. pretty damn handy as an anti-depressant, i might add...

Hmmm, thanks for sharing. I figured if it can kick much stronger addictions Tobacco would be a cinch. Was there a specific strain of cannabis that seemed to work best, or do you think most any would do?

Good to know, that's quite a variety of things Cannabis helps with!

I figure you tried Opioids before, right? Would you say this is far more effective, without all the nasty side effects?

I would imagine the higher the cbd content, the easier it would have been. 15 years ago I didn't ever get cannabis with a strain name attached to it.

Helps reduce the need for as much opiates, while also making withdrawls MUCH more comfortable, yes. I vividly remember many times having to use so much opiates I was so nauseous and uncomfortable I wanted to scream. A couple puffs of even low grade cannabis made me feel soooo much better it's unreal.

The correct strain, properly prepared, will remove all but the most extreme pain. We're talking a SIGNIFICANT reduction in the amount of opiates a country would consume, when cannabis is co-prescribed. Massive money losses.

All doctors should prescribe a combination of cannabis and opiates, when severe pain is the issue. People will use significantly less opiates, much healthier.
