Hilarious that we still give people oxy before weed. Not that they have the same effects but hilarious still.

Thanks for sharing your ankle breaking experience with us.

I'm a big fan of weed, and am definitely using it to help with this situation but to think that it would substitute for legit pain killers is false.

Weed helps with the mental aspect of it. The fact that i'm laid out for the next 2 months, I have to cancel a diving trip i had planned in a few weeks, and the reality that this could be a lifelong injury is scary and depressing. For that weed is great. But they literally drilled holes into my bones. That shit hurts for real.

I feel like the netherlands does it right though. They're way stingy with the opiates. I got enough oxycodones for about 2-3 days max to get over the initial pain of surgery, with no chance of renewing the script. After that it's only paracetamol and naproxen. If i remember right back in the states when i had my wisdom teeth out they gave me enough oxy for like a week.
