I took Tramadol, which is an extremely potent opoid, for 3 days. Not only was I completely and utterly constipated, and spent 8 hours one night bleeding out my ass due to the effect of the opioid, I was in massive pain.

On Day 4, I flushed the Tramadol down the toilet and began taking 40mg's of edibles, Nugs to be exact, to combat the pain. It was like a miracle drug, I shit you not. I didn't get "high", because the pain was way too intense but I felt SO much better AND after a few days, resumed normal bathroom activities.

I have no idea what it feels like to play in the NFL but it's difficult for me to believe that THC won't help manage their pain.

1) I'm sorry you had to go through that and I hope you're doing good now


2) I have first hand experience with a loved one that used it to help with pain management and not only was it effective but it allowed her to cut back on the prescription medication, and doing that prolonged her life.
