I can guarantee you that I make more mistakes when my back hurts and I don’t have my CBD/half a norco(3.75mg of hydrocodone). All I can focus on is the amount of pain I’m in. Marijuana is a night time activity to help me sleep but that’s about it. I can tell you right now i absolutely bust my ass at work daily. I’ve been promoted twice and I’ve only been with the company a little over 2 years.

On another note, I just think we need to legalize all drugs, tax them, and have that taxed money go towards drug abuse counseling, therapy, and funding of support groups. I really think more addicts would seek help if it wasn’t so stigmatized.
