Cannabis is regarded as a
substance that can help heroin addicts
fight the intense symptoms associated
with drug withdrawal.”
Do you think people that use opioids are
more likely to turn to heroin?
As I see it, it depends largely on the person’s context, on
whether heroin is present in their life. If you are addicted to
painkillers and you try heroin, there’s no doubt you’re going to
like it and you will probably get hooked.
The rise in consumption in the US is being described as a
pandemic. What’s going on? What’s the reason behind it?
I think it’s happening because of the easy access to the drug
and its low price. Anyone can buy heroin in the streets of Rochester,
New York, for five dollars a bag. You need five hydrocodone
pills to get high and the cost is about $10 each. With heroin,
the effect is much stronger and ridiculously cheaper.
What type of cannabis and what consumption method did you
use during the heroin detoxification process?
I had tried different detox programs in New York, but
I always ended up replacing heroin with another
pharmaceutical to stay sober. It didn’t make any sense. But
this last attempt was different. I went to the Californian
mountains and used THC- and CBD-rich coco oil, a
substance that is very similar to a drug called suboxone,
which is used in the rehab process in New York. The thing
is this cannabis oil really helped me fight drug withdrawal
and I didn’t experience the side effects of the medication I
had tried before.
