9. NM finally got both medical and recreational cannabis

and that's what I've been using since my rheumatologist has been among the missing (medical leave overseas). It does provide some relief, shoves the pain more into the background, but I really dislike the buzz. I had no wish to repeat the 60s.

Since we got recreational pot, I've heard about far less problem locally with both meth and opioids, something that other enlightened states already reported.

I'd really rather take the opioids, to be honest, they did a better job, didn't give me a buzz, and didn't even constipate me. Balancing the pain is what does it, I was never tempted to take more than the prescribed dose.

And that's another thing the drug warriors will never understand.
