My son works for a prominent pharmaceutical company and tells me they are working on a non-opiod pain reliever. I haven't read up on it but, I'm sure this will be the thing of the future. Government can't impose the removal of opiods from all but, cancer patients, and expect us to be accepting with no back up plan except medical marijuana which remains illegal in many states.

ITS VERY HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE THAT MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS NOT BETTER THAN THE DRUGS WE ARE PRESCRIBED. I HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED SO MANY SLEEP MEDICATIONS DUE TO A HORRIFIC WITHDRAWAL FROM 17 YEARS ON LORAZEPAM FOR RLS. LORAZEPAM IS USED FOR SLEEP, SO, OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU STOP, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP. MY LAST SLEEP MEDICATION WAS DAYVIGO, $138 FOR 30 DAYS. DID NOT WORK, TRIED FOR 5 DAYS AND STOPPED. FINALLY I TRIED KIVA CANNABIS-INFUSED DARK CHOCOLATE 5MG PER SERVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT EVERY NIGHT FOR 2 WEEKS AND I HAVE GONE FROM 3 HRS SLEEP A NIGHT TO 6 HRS. I DON'T THINK THIS WILL CONTINUE TO WORK, BUT I AM THANKFUL FOR THE RELIEF I AM HAVING NOW. ITS LEGAL IN SAN FRANCISCO AND I KNOW MANY ADULTS WHO USE CANNABIS WITH MUCH SUCCESS.
