Would I Recommend Cannabis for a Patient With Drug Problems?

Can I/Would I recommend cannabis for someone with a history of drug abuse or alcoholism?

The short answer is Yes.

1. Based upon 30 years of clinical experience, I believe that nearly 1/2 of patients in AA use cannabis – and I am certain it helps many of them.

2. Although lacking in evidence, it has been my experience for many years that cannabis, particularly if correct strains are used, helps substance abuse patients find the feelings they crave.

I recently have been following a few meth patients. I figured that ANY minute using cannabis is better than smoking meth. So far, they are doing better.
