Random, Thoughts, X,XXIV

I had heard of the pain relief alternative to opiods, but never thought about how until that acclimation period there'd be increased ER trips and falls for a group more prone to that anyway. I like Gupta.

Yeah, the silliness factor is real, from what I see upclose and personal, lol.

But I also see 60+s using alcohol instead for the same reasons, and when you get enough on board to get the same results (“effective dose”), it seems to be much more dangerous for falls, etc., plus way worse potential organ damage. And then the Big Pharma stuff (Valium, Ativan, etc.) is often horrible for the elderly, with lots of unexpected side effects.

I'm surprised that he is surprised. Weed was commonly used in those that are now turning 65+. What has he been smoking?

Always interesting to me that when people trumpet “there’s no medical evidence!!!”, it’s because when you make something Schedule I, no one is allowed to research it. So, duh.

How it became schedule 1 is a tale in itself. Thank you , Harry J. Anslinger.

if I am treating my pain, best plan is to find way to keep listening to the music with minimal trips to the stereo or kitchen

Just saw on the news that this is the time of year bears mate and fatten up to hibernate. So if you run into one, you've got a 50/50 chance of being eaten or being raped.

Good luck.

After cataract surgery in my right eye and increasing my reading glasses from 2.0 to 3.0 I can now see far and near like I could when I was a baby.
