I disagree with the comment that cannabis can cause shortness of breath when combined with opoids.I have used this combination for three years following a car accident which saw me with double sided sciatica. The opoids, Endone, causes me shortness of breath, even on 5mg, but thr shortness of breath is relieved by the cannabis. If cannabis was legal here in Australia, I,d opt for cannabis over opoids anyday. No one in history has ever died from a cannabis overdose, but the same can,t be said for opoids. It,s odd that opoids are legal and cannabis is not. In Australia trials have started for legalising cannabis for terminally ill patients. If I was terminally ill, I,d rather have strong pain relief from, say, morphine, rather than cannabis.
