I had my foot operated on last month. The next day, I was popping pain killer after pain killer because it hurt so bad. After taking 4 throughout the day (way less than most people would have taken, I believe) I tried to eat for the first time that day (hadn’t had an appetite since I started taking them) and took about 4 bites, felt awful, and a half hour later I vomited about five times. All from the painkillers.
The next day, and for the week or two after that, when it started hurting, I took a few hits of weed. Medical marijuana too, mind you, because it’s legal for medicinal purposes here in Boulder. It took the pain away, made me happy even though I couldn’t walk or do much and it was 100 degrees out, and it didn’t make me lose my appetite. I could eat normally, function, not vomit, be happy, not rip my boyfriends head off every time he came in the room…..
So….yeah
