I'm also curious if there are any studies to show that eating cannabis slows or hides the effects of opiate withdrawl.. I've been eating a calyx or 2 and my stems on every bowl I smoke for about a year now. Recently was dropped down quite a few milligrams of my methadone and I went from 60mg to 45mg in 3 days and to my suprize I haven't felt any dopesick feelings like most folks would going down that much. I have been arguing with my counselor that cannabis helps majorly is Substance Abuse treatment the same way the methadone does but it is ALOT safer and not nearly as addictive.. I used to get sick every 2 weeks or so and I noticed it was when I didn't smoke durring the day and at night before I slept. So I made sure to have enough meds to last me before I started to detox off the methadone and it's been working GREAT! The cannabis stops my cravings for opiates as long as it's a nice strong indica so I think there should be more research done for this... I think it has ALOT to do with me eating the cannabis trim covered in crystals and the stems of leaves have lots of goodies in them what do you all think???
