    Fuck the cure for the common cold, a non-addictive, general purpose, sure fire cure for chronic pain would probably be the medical breakthrough of the century.

      Isn’t that just weed? Like obviously not sure-fire, but it works for a lot of people.

        It’s also anti inflammatory and will make you feel less depressed about the ailments it can’t take care of! It can have some negative side effects if you overdo it of course, and you can become too impaired to operate vehicles while using it, so I wouldn’t quite call it a miracle drug, but it’s still an extremely useful drug with minimal health risks. Not to mention it’s a good time, I don’t feel the need to use any other drugs recreationally since weed works so well and has so much less side effects (when used in moderation).

        A lot of people struggle with moderation and withdrawals, so I wouldn’t go as far as to say it is non addictive unfortunately, but it is a lot less addictive than pain killers that’s for sure

        Didn’t work for me. Getting rid of carbs in sugar did it but it’s hard to avoid something as tasty as my boyfriend’s bacon mushroom pizza… tried using alternatives to wheat flour and they are just as problematic or disgusting.
