Jerked around....

Doug, I am a Pharmaceutical development scientist who has spent decades working on opiates, NSAIDs, CBD and THC to help bring pain relief to those who truly need it. I also worked with Medtronics on the first spinal cord stimulators to control pain.

If you want some real information beyond the conjecture and false interpretation presented by most, PM me and I will be glad to give you some real insight based on the reality of science and data over the past 30 years.

You are quite correct, neither THC, CBD nor NSAIDs are direct replacements for opiates and the change over is complicated. However, there is a lot more to understanding the science of pain than those simple facts. Knowledge is power and I have several decades of clinical experience and understanding to share...if you want it.
