Tired of Pain Pills (Vicodin/Percocet/Soma)? Try Marijuana

This past week I have had 5 patients who have completely eliminated their dependence on pain pills after receiving their recommendation to use marijuana (cannabis) legally. The improvement to their overall quality of life has been dramatic. No more nausea, constipation and the feeling of being dependent on a drug.
Doctors are very quick to hand out prescriptions for opiates such as vicodin, soma, percocet, fentanyl, morphine etc. Many MD’s have no idea what else to do to treat patients with pain. They don’t have the skills to treat the anatomy like an Osteopathic physician, can not adjust like a chiropractor or treat pain with needles like an acupuncturist. They simply hand patients a script and hope for the best. I know that sounds very simplistic and condescending but honestly in many cases it’s the truth.
Opiates can cause nausea, constipation, pruritus and can be highly addictive. Cannabis has none of these side effects and has been proven to have analgesic properties even in small doses. If vaporized patients expose themselves to NO smoke or carcinogens.
If you are taking opiate medications for pain and would like to see if you can benefit from using cannabis feel free to give us a call and schedule an appointment. 877-721-0047
Be blessed,
Dr. Sean Breen

I am currently on Percocet 7.5 for the last 3 years, and I taper off gradually, but the shoulder and neck pain persist. Unfortunately, my business opposes the use of marijuana and conducts random urinalysis. If an employee is tested positive, he/she can submit to blood and if the urine and blood are confirmed positive for THC, it’s an automatic termination. So, maybe when I retire, but that’s a long ways away of pain and suffering.
There is legislation going through the California government that will prevent medical marijuana employees from being discriminated against firing or hiring. It had passed once before but the Governator (Arnold) vetoed it! We are all anxiously awaiting.
