Does combining cannabis with opioids for chronic pain management leave people better or worse off? Leave a comment
Many promote cannabis as a safe and effective drug for chronic pain management and have gone as far as to argue that cannabis can reduce the need for opioid pain medications. At the same time, it is well appreciated that the co–use of certain substances is generally associated with poorer outcomes than single substance use. In this study, authors found that individuals with chronic pain who combine opioids and cannabis are not functioning as well as those who are only using opioids. Although the exact nature of this relationship is unclear, the results may have implications for medical cannabis in the context of chronic pain management.
