Worse thing about marijuana use, is getting caught with it.

Doc said blunt. Waiting for him to call it chronic. Spliff

I smoked tough for over a decade. I've been sober for nearly 3 months from cannabis. I watch this video and relate to a lot of it. I also read the comments and notice how all of the negative comments are written by ppl who clearly still use and abuse cannabis. I also notice that I used to find myself saying the exact same things other comments are saying. The most important thing I realize however is that these other people commenting took the effort to search for a video on marijuana intervention, so I guess actions speak louder than words. Get sober, you will thank yourself for it.

Anyone can develop a dependency / addiction to anything. Whether that is gaming, eating, or even weed, it is possible. Don't assume that just because it is weed, that you can't develop an issue with it. Moderation is key and some people are incapable of moderation and they just go all in.

No pain clinic will give you any kind of narcotics if you use marijuana. That's always the way it goes because they consider that pain relief.

I would stick with the Cannabis over whatever it is that he is offering. Just reevaluate your relationship with it and probably back off a bit.

My Canadian PM loves Marijuana :) So Opioids are ok Marijuana is bad? How many people had died from Marijuana?? Marijuana is good. In Canada it is legal. My husband needs for Elpileci. Dr. give to him no problem. I'm coming out of 18 years of taking Oxycodone and Hydro Morphine going to only Marijuana. We are in our 40th and never use Stree drugs or miss use our prescription. I see how many people are dying. Dr has no idea what are they doing. with the Opioids.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this Dr has never used marijuana. The only advice a Dr should be giving about weed is to recommend using a vaporizer vs smoking. If someone gets pain relief from marijuana and does not need opiates,hallelujah

Why are legal drugs worse than illegal drugs? answer: cuz da mafia said so.

I literally stopped using setraline and started smoking marijuana because setraline would make me feel dead and emotionless and i felt like i got hit by a train every morning.

Same shit with me bad experience with family alcoholics and just sticking to weed and lot of anxiety

Yeah, right. You tell a pain management doctor you smoke marijuana, they'll refuse to prescribe you anything useful for pain.

dang no mm card here

Best thing bout marijuana is 'no UA, no weed counts, and you do get distracted and take less pills....so pain docs don't prescribe adequate doses yet forbid you to take herbal supplements that help with compliance¿¿

Yes! I'll gladly volunteer to my pain doc about other substances I'm using LOL SERIOUSLY???

So chemicals are better than a natural herb.

I am going to have to wait until pot is legal in my state, and then try that for pain. My pain management dr. is killing me and I am never going back. I am weaning off what he has given me, he is a complete and utter asshole who yells at me, tells me I am a fail, and won't let me see a different dr. in the practice, cause that would make me a dr. shopper. Then he wonders why I cry and get upset when I go. What a racket!!

"joints or... blunts."

Plot twist, the doctor is shhmaacked

Two joints a day is NOTHING. This is a grown man! FFS

It seems like his biggest problem with marijuana is others disapproving of it...not really anything from the drug itself.

He needs 5 joints a day. Tell the wife to shut up

I thought this guy was a pain management doctor is he is psychiatry is or what????

Usually the people you work for are bigger users than you !

HAHAHA!!!!

LOL in Canada we use it all the time. Dear Dr. gets some education on Marijuana.

What is the purpose of this video ? This Doc needs a psych evaluation, I would have walked out at the first question !

marijuannas not a drug

I call racism....... lol

So negative effects😭

So, opioids can cause more pain, marijuana can cause anxiety, but what can being in severe pain every day do to a patient? 🤭 Severe pain every day can cause depression, anxiety, panic attacks, loss of employment, being called a drug seeker, and other issues. Amazing the ease at which he was willing to prescribe Sertraline, but what about the side effects of Sertraline? Loss of sex drive, erectile dysfunction, increased anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. When actually treating pain with an opiate can stop anxiety and depression from increasing, or stop either from starting in the first place. Amazing how prescribing an antidepressant or anti anxiety medication, plus offering counseling, is the norm now. Because the conversation that doesn’t happen is, we are terrified of the DEA, we’ve had addiction shoved down our throats, and the possibility of losing our license. Buprenorphine or Suboxone is handed out like candy, but Suboxone is one of the MOST addictive drugs you can take. Politics creeped its way into the doctor’s office, and has a profound effect on patient care. The opiate crisis & addiction percentages quoted for years, has been debunked as completely inaccurate and fabricated information. I wonder what the response would be if a doctor was told that they would face no penalties prescribing an opiate, and that the real possibility of a patient becoming addicted is approximately 1 - 2%. A PHYSICIAN WOULD MOST LIKELY PRESCRIBE AN OPIATE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WORK!!! It wasn’t prescription opiates that caused the opioid crisis, it was illegal fentanyl. Plus most overdose deaths involve having more than one drug in a person’s system, and usually it’s an illicit drug. STOP THE MADNESS!!! STOP THE LIES!!! There’s going to be NUMEROUS lawsuits from pain patients due to leaving them in pain, which is a continuity of care issue. Physicians can be sued for this!!! OPIATE HYSTERIA!!! 🤬🤬🤬

This is the worst advice for weed lol that guy got no help and is gonna go home and smoke a joint lol
