RE: Canna-Curate Guest Writer Showcase
Yeah great point @artisticsreech . My initial experience was that it took the edge off and allowed me to function. V.S. being in a stupor and wanting to sleep. I was trying to allude to that with the statement "...Also, what is the end goal? Elimination of pain or pain management?"
But you expanded on that the standpoint it's not incorrect but highly misleading is an important distinction.
Gonna have to mull that over a bit . It really strikes to the truth of the matter.
With a high enough concentration, you can knock yourself out pretty well. That's pain management. Whatever gets your through the first couple of days of experiencing acute pain I think sounds like it's effective in managing the pain. Which is better using a non-addictive substance or a highly addictive substance to let you sleep during that terrible time? I would vote for the non-addictive substance.
Thank you. I would suspect that there is often a motive behind that kind of misleading statement but even people without any agenda can get caught up trying to compare one drug to another and that is not always the most productive way to look at things. If they are in the same class of drugs it is probably okay. No one would argue if someone said psilocybin and DMT are similar because they are both tryptamines but we can't really compare them to opioids and cannabinoids. That makes us think we can determine which one is better but the real question is which one is better at what we are asking it to do. If I want some deep introspective thought I am not going to pop some pills to get that and if I just got shot or something I really don't to go to town on a big bag of mushrooms.
