Relieve cannabis withdrawal with nicotine?
Although tobacco was used by early Americans
in a pipe of peace, nicotine itself is poisonous.
Perhaps I infer too much
... the fact that tomato plants die if
you've smoked and have
tobacco on your brown stained fingers
before pinching out the side-shoots.
Withdrawal depends on
the purpose behind using cannabis.
Used all day every day as
an escape from reality,
I can appreciate that it
may be a difficult habit to break.
I used it to help clear a lymphoma.
High as a kite for ten weeks,
then I got the all clear scan.
Domesticity had been upset by
my use of it, and so I gave it up
immediately after the all-clear.
No withdrawal, no cold turkey.
To medical advice about its addictive property,
I steer them towards the opioid addiction
that they're busily promoting,
and ask them to consider
that the non-hallucinogenic CBD
component of cannabis can even help
to ween patients off this terrible addiction,
that they are at a loss to treat.
