Pat , you need to smoke the sativa strains that cost$50.00- $70.00 an eighth on the street. The cheap Mexican brick weed will make you paranoid and have headaches. The medical-marijuana strains from Cali and Colorado are the best. No paranoia. See , I too used to get paranoid from smoking ditch weed that's $30.00 for a half ounce . Ya get stems and seeds and paranoid. Gotta spend the money for the good grass , and I've heard it works great for pain, especially if eaten instead of smoked. I wish I lived in a medical marijuana state.

I really wish I liked smoking pot.  I get really paranoid from it.  Even in my teens.  I kept trying lol but no luck.

Pat, it is also used to treat fibromyalgia pain, but you are correct , not good to take too long because it does create a physical dependence. The herb thing is okay. It causes no physical dependence at all and at worst makes a chronic user eat a lot of twinkles . Cut, dry, smoke, or eat and cook or whatever. Zero deaths attributed to its use in 6000 recorded years of history. A few states in America have their heads straight, hope the rest follow soon. Be a better world AND economy.
Stay Natural.

I swear you have shares in Lyrica.  It's an anti seizure med.  I wouldn't play with it if I was you..  Congrats on quitting oxy's but I wouldn't want to mess with anything unless it was prescribed.

my addiction was 5 to 6 oxy 80s a day, and morphine 200s. going for day 3 now, and i thank LYRICA for this so far. we are doing great, and a little herb gives me the munchies for food which gives me more strength to go on with my day. someone offered me some percocets, and I felt angry, It's like i'm gone anti pills now. I've lost my home, and my girl, I had to move back with my mother for six months, lucky i still got my job. fk pills. felling really good right now, thanks to Lyrica. :D

I'm still getting the sweats sometimes, but as soon as the lyrica kicks in, i can actually feel normal again. Lyrica is amazing.

I only planned on taking them for a few days, I don't plan on getting addicted to it. I did alot of research on it, that's why I know that it's good for opiate addiction. My girlfriend and I are doing great so far, it's been the second day now without opiates, and boy do i ever feel good about it. The opiates were taking all my money away, going broke all the time *****, so I had to do something. When my father gave me Lyrica I thought it was an act of god, I'm extreamly happy about getting off of them, was to much.

Unfortunately, my friend, you are trading one addiction for another. Lyrica is a controlled prescription drug that you will get dependent on if you are not careful. Do some research , and don't take them for more than you absolutely have to. Stay strong.
