I would like some input on the new cannabis oil. Do y'all think it is a good or bad idea for someone with lupus who has struggled with addiction in the past but is now clean and in recovery to use it?

Depends what your drug of choice was. Do you have an ethical dilemma with it? Some believe that "clean" is abstinence from all substances. Is it legal in your area? I have had great results but it's a very personal decision. I wish you luck in whatever you decide...sending gentle hugs

I was addicted also and it did not help much with pain I found that the oil is not addictive if one uses what is required for pain and your clean if you quit for a couple of days I don't find it addictive.i have been on the pain patch and numerous other pain meds .to me oil has been the best of all.

I think it’s a great idea. I’ve never used these types products in the past, but I’ve heard good things.
