Opioids Marijuana for opioid withdrawl?

Dear CaptainKratom,

Thanks dude, I know that I am not truly a bad person but I can't help but feel like I am and it really sucks because that just makes me go back every time because I only feel like I'm not when I'm high...

I've hear of it but I've never tried it, some friends of mine said that it feels like it (such as you put it how it works on the same receptors) so I've been thinking about trying it out I just don't know where to get any. Like I know that you can find websites on the internet but I wouldn't know which one to buy off of since they all say that they have the best kind or the other don't have good kratom so I can't really make up my mind. If you could give me a link to try some I would greatly appreciate it!

I guess you're right, I'll give it a try and not have too high of hopes in case it doesn't work or just makes my WD symptoms worse. And if weed doesn't work I will definitely look into kratom.

Thank you so much, you have no idea how much I appreciate you replying. It just sucks because I don't want my family to know about my problem so I sometimes feel like I'm going through it all alone. Anyways enough rambling now lol, thanks a bunch, yo!

Dear Flaga121,

Hopefully It works out for me too dude! :)

Dear Burn out,

That's sort of scary to think since I wouldn't want to relapse after smoking weed, I think that would make me even more depressed which is the main reason that I do opiates, so I would feel even worse to think that now I am doing two drugs instead of just one. If it's not too forward how many times have you tried to smoke weed for withdrawals? Yeah I know how you feel I don't very much care for the feeling of smoking weed, and I would only want to smoke it during the night time so that I could hopefully relax, hopefully keep some food down, and fall asleep. So I don't think that I could stay high all day long, not to mention that I have to go to work and I wouldn't want to be caught high at work!

Then I'm sure you know how horrible it feels when your mother comes up from out of nowhere to hug you and tell you how proud she is of you, just like me (I'm not blaming her at all but) whenever she does this I feel so horrible that I have to get high in order to keep from feeling the guilt, but it always comes back when I wake up the next day sober... This is why I know that I have to get over this addiction. That sounds like a good book, I'll check it out and hopefully it might help me out in some way. I'm really glad that I'm not the only one that feels this way, but at the same time I just wish that no one has to feel this way too.

I will probably try to taper off of them since I've heard of this method before but I don't know exactly how it is you do it. Would you mind explaining to me how tapering works? And I agree that if you switch a substance for another for a very long period of time you are just making another addiction for yourself.

Anyway thank you for your help, and I hope that you find a way out of your addiction as well (if you already haven't). I'm not super religious but I'll pray for you to get better and hopefully it helps.

Dear PsychedelicHaze,

Thanks for saying that, even the smallest gesture of support makes me feel a ton better! :)

Is there a certain strain that I could buy that feels like an opiate? Because I can't function when I'm high off of bud so I don't think that it would be an option to stay high all day long. Also what do you do to decarb bud? (sorry I'm not the most knowledgeable about bud other than just smoking it lol!).

I know what you mean, and yeah I would much rather be smoking bud than popping pills every single day spending 20 to 40 dollars a day!

Thanks for your help dude!

Dear bigshot1990,

I know it might sound dumb but why would Indica edibles be better than just regular weed? Sorry about asking but I just don't know much about bud so I don't know what the difference is lol.

Dear poppyplanet,

I think that I could handle the physical pain but the mental pain is what makes me go back to opiates so hopefully you're right and it helps with the mental issues!

Dear anythingbutsober,

Sorry about posting it on here I just didn't really know where else to post it since I'm new here, but I will definitely post it there next time!

I've tried melatonin before but for some reason it wouldn't take affect until the next day around like 3'ish and I wouldn't want to take too much, so I don't think it would help me but I'm glad it helps you. :)

Thanks for being so kind dude, I really need it since the last time I brought up drugs to my family they would tell me how only worthless scumbags do drugs and how the people who are addicts are nothing but lowlifes who are to lazy to work and don't deserve to be happy. So you can see why I don't want to tell my family about my problem...

Thanks so much!!!!! I hope that you get better too (if you haven't already), and if you ever need someone to distract you from it or just to talk just PM me! n_n

Dear Mr.Scagnattie,

Hopefully taking off the edge will be enough to at the very least take the cravings away for a couple of hours a day!

Dear ghostandthedarkness,

That's good to know dude, I hope it helps me out too.

Dear f33lg00d,

Could you please tell me which strain you felt helped you out the most? If you can't remember that's fine too. :)

Dear Mr.Scagnattie

Thanks for letting me know, I'll be sure to start off with a little bit at a time and not do too much. I don't think that I could handle being paranoid and WD'ing.

Dear Crashing,

Yeah dude, hopefully it can keep me distracted enough to keep me from wanting to pop tabs so much! Also the depression thing would be a big plus for me since I do have depression but I don't want to become dependent on prozac and what not.

Dear CaptainKratom,

I've heard about mixing benzos with weed for withdrawals but I don't know what benzos are lol, are they like Xanax?

Dear RTrain,

Yeah I think that I'm going to try and use benzos and smoke some weed, and I know that it won't completely cure me of it but I just want something to help me out since even the smallest amount of help will hopefully make it a bit easier to keep from going back to it.

Also I will be sure to keep myself from starting a new addiction because I've heard of people moving from one drug to another because they were using it to get sober. Such as methadone for heroine.

Dear smokeemctoke420,

What is gabapentin and benzos? Sorry I'm just not very knowledgeable on those things other than opiates (and that's just because I didn't want to get ripped off lol).

Dear treezy z,

I'm sorry to hear that, dude. I hope that you find a way to get better yo. I really hope that it doesn't affect me in a negative way so that I can use the bud to help me out a bit.

Dear Treefa,

Damn dude I'm sorry to hear that, but if you ever need anyone to talk to just PM me and you won't have to go through your WD's alone! :)
I know what you mean by trying to just run out of it and make yourself believe that just because you ran out you can stop, I would probably have stopped as well if I didn't just lie to myself and instead actually tried to stop.

Well since you don't have anything to make it easier and you find yourself feeling really bad later on in the day and need a distraction just PM me and I'll do my best to keep you entertained! Lol I have some really horrible jokes that you can laugh at since they're so bad they're good hahaha!

Thanks dude, I am really going to need it, I live in Vegas so it's not legal unless you have a medical card (which are fuckin expensive as hell down here in Vegas). But I'll do what you say and ask my friend who slangs to let me try the different strains he has and see which one makes me feel better, he's a;ways trying to smoke me out anyway lol. n_n

My nigga bert, you're a cool guy! Good luck, kratom is great as others said but it's still an opioid. helps me stay away from heroin and is very functional. I couldn't name high cbd to thc strains but it's easily google able. Xanax is a benzo. Ezitolam is a legal benzo, you can order online; beware addicting. pharmacys sell l-theanine which is in green tea and mild benzo like anxiety-reducing non addictive.
 
Weed has always helped me get off opiates, I got a month clean now which doesn't seem like a big deal , but it's huge for me. The first two weeks I was taking xanax and smoking weed. Actually made it pretty easy, and I got a 10 year heroin habit . Now I just smoke every day once or twice a day and man does it help a ton emotionally. Makes me not even think about opiates. Get off the opiates bro and you will finally realize how free and great u will feel not needing a fix every day, trust me. One more thing, benzos like xanax long term will just lead you into another horrible addiction. Take care my friend, no one deserves to live a life of addict, you can beat it if u want to.
