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 .
