"DRUG HOLIDAYS" do NOT work! They create unnecessary SUFFERING and any sensitivity to opiates that is created, is undone and goes back to 'normal' within 2-3 days of returning to your dose from the so called "drug holiday"... it should be called drug HELL or drug TORTURE. Putting someone through the hellish torture of withdrawls when they are already in severe chronic pain is just absolutely and unequivocally CRUEL and that is why NO ONE with personal experience with this would ever advocate it

@superotter77 (I am specifically only referring to opioids as they have no ceiling dose, meaning the point at which a drug becomes toxic).

Unbelievable. Opiophobia, which this doctor is clearly expressing, is a crime against humanity. Drug "holidays" are torture and completely unnecessar, as are ceiling doses of pain meds, since everyone has different tolerances and pain levels. To all you able-bodied opioid fear-mongers, try having your testicles in a vice grip that's constantly being tightened, and then not allowed pain relief for it. Chronic pain sufferers need WHATEVER DOSES IT TAKES to manage their pain, period!!

He's a perfect way to limit the dose needed for effective opioid analgesic releif: prescribe synthetic cannabinoids (or natural is state does not prohibit) along with opioids.

Cannabinoids produce cross-tolerancce between opioids, but ironically, only a small dose of an opioid is needed when taken in combination with cannabis or a cannabinoid.

Combining cannabinoids with opioids would not only lower the amount of opioids needed, but it would offer patients a better chance at pain releif.
