My girlfriend likes her weed, but she goes through if very slowly. Everyday smoker? Yeah, probably. But not to the point of getting stupid stoned. She actually has a lot of pain problems and a very demanding job that kicks the shit out of her, and I'm glad she's the kind of person who can tolerate weed, and for whom weed acts as a painkiller. I wish I was that kind of person honestly, because whenever my back flares up or the tendons in my arm ache, or any of my other creaky parts start to creek, I rely on narcotics. Legal ones. Prescribed ones. But still, those things come with a whole host of side effects and dangers.
Weed is exponentially safer. Like... There's no way to measure how much safer weed is than opiates and benzodiazepines. If Weed is a 100 on the safe scale, benzos are like a 12 and opiates are not on the scale because they're closer to 100% UNSAFE. Speaking simply of course.
So glad my girlfriend hasn't had to deal with the weird pseudo-addict like lifestyle that even people who use their Rxs responsibly deal with. I use mine exactly as the bottle says and try to take less as often as possible. But still.. it's always a little bit of a rollercoaster.

THIS is a significant reason why the NBA and NFL players associations are continually petitioning to allow for Medical Cannabis in pro-sports because SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many athletes use opiates and narcotic prescription meds even for minor aches, pains, and inflamation.
