Millions of Americans are making the switch from opioids and narcotics to medical marijuana, and for good reason. Many prescription drugs come with a slew of unfavorable side effects, and while cannabis does come with some side effects, they are pretty mild.
Opioid and narcotic abuse is a huge concern for Americans and remains one of the biggest health issues today. Resources in America for those who struggle with addiction are limited at best.
Marijuana is a great option for many people with certain conditions and symptoms, but what about substance abuse?
Marijuana and Substance Abuse
Many studies show that prescribing cannabis as a treatment for opioid or narcotic abuse can be very effective. It can reduce dependence on other substances and act as a harm reduction treatment.
It isn’t easy to quit opioids or narcotics cold turkey, so marijuana can act as a medium by eliminating unhealthy cravings for other substances. Patients can use medical cannabis and eventually stop completely, or they can keep using it if they find it is benefiting them.
Although cannabis does have some side effects, they are very mild. The most common side effects from marijuana include dry eyes, red eyes, increased appetite, and fatigue. This is why doctors are recommending cannabis over prescription medication.
The Bottom Line
Marijuana for medicinal use has been gaining popularity for decades as states move to legalize it all together. The way society looks at those who use cannabis is changing, and outdated stereotypes are disappearing as time goes on.
Cannabis can be a very effective treatment for those experiencing substance abuse, but it really depends on the person, among other factors. Everybody reacts to cannabis differently, so you probably won’t know how you feel about it until you give it a try.
Although you can get recreational dispensary access in Missouri, you should still get your medical card for many reasons. If you have any questions about the process, just give us a call!
