Can cannabis offer a lifeline in the battle against drug addiction, particularly for those grappling with the perils of stimulants like crystal methamphetamine? New research from the University of British Columbia (UBC) suggests it might. The study, published in Addictive Behaviors, found that cannabis use is linked to a decrease in the use of crystal methamphetamine among individuals at high risk of overdose in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, an area severely impacted by illegal drug use.

    I quit drinking with it as well. I don’t care if anyone says it’s just a substitute addiction because I don’t do or say stupid things on cannabis.

      That’s part of the reason why I use the delta vapes. They don’t get you super “high”, and even if you take a really big hit the effects start to wear off after about an hour. I definitely didn’t want to trade in getting drunk all day long for getting high all day long lol

      It does just enough to ease the anxiety that used to send me on all night drinking binges
