Today I evaluated a 59 year old male patient who has been sober for the past 15 years.  He still routinely takes Antabuse 250 mg which is a drug that will cause severe nausea and vomiting if he consumes alcohol.   Unfortunately he developed permanent nerve damage to his right arm as a result of his Antabuse medication.  So he only uses it in emergency situations.

Fortunately he has been able to use cannabis when he comes home from work to relax and “unwind”.   He stated that is completely eliminates any thoughts of having a drink to relax.  He has been successfully doing this for the past 15 years.

He finally decided to become a legal patient so he did not have to purchase any medicine off the street.  I am extremely proud of him for his sobriety and glad that cannabis played an essential role in his continued recovery.

If you would like to see if you can benefit from the medicinal use of cannabis please feel free to contact us at 877-721-0047.  I look forward to taking care of you!

Respectfully,

Dr. Sean Breen
