To a Medical Doctor About Opiate Addiction and PAWS (Post Acute Withdraw Syndrome)?
... rather that they want to cash in on the money you are paying for it on the streets. I am losing hope…. Meetings don’t help, I don’t need to talk, I need medication. You tell a doctor this, he treats you like a walking turd, like a robot programmed to turn you away once you mention it ( They teach it to you I guess in school), when you are literally begging to just be able to function, like him or her does normally. My son keeps me going. Rehabs are the same… No money = Cold Turkey suffering experience that ends most likely with you back on it…. Lots of money, Medicated, doesn’t really matter, because having money….. what is there to really worry about? You can get the meds anyways. Everyday, I lose more and more of my intelligence, lose what made me.. ME. I live in Kansas too, which, is SOOO much worse when dealing with doctors. My PC prescribed me Naproxen to deal with withdraw…. “Thanks for that Aleve”.. I guess, ...

Also, the only thing you hear people getting in trouble for with marijuana is possession and not killing someone or something extreme which can be caused by alcohol. I signed a petition called “Support the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2013” which would ultimately end prohibition so the states can figure out their own regulations for i ...
