Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't?

I get it. Alcohol and marijuana actually tends to make my whole body feel numb, whereas medically prescribed painkillers like oxycotin or codeine just give me a head fog and make me sleepy while doing nothing for physical pains. Over the counter shit like ibuprofen and aspirin are utterly useless for me unless taken to reduce a fever. Even the inflammatory properties don’t help alleviate swelling or anything for me.

Well, I mean at least the head fog and sleepiness from weed also comes with actual pain relief. 🤷🏻♂️

ok, i am glad it works for you.
well, for me all the “positive effects” disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones, which is why i ultimately stopped. but it may not be the experience of every person in the world, so…

This is the case for every single drug I’ve tried, and one of my hobbies is treating Erowid like a Pokédex.

Marijuana doesn’t make me sleepy. It makes me horny.

Night and day though. I can smoke weed and still get stuff done, it’s almost like spinach for Popeye to grind out a menial task.
Dope though? Fuuuuuuuck it, lets just sit here and watch TV. I don’t normally watch much TV but on any narcotic it’s just perfect.
