Being cut off of opioids because of medical cannabis

Hi, I have been living with chronic pain for 17 years after 2 car accidents. I’ve been supported well since with opioids until my Dr retired last year. When I went to pick up my new scripts at my appt. My Dr said that I will be going from 3 tablets a day to 1 & onto slow release which does hardly anything for my breakthrough pain. I went to another Dr & they said that I can have 1 or the other. I take medical cannabis to sleep & only at night. I also know of other people who are going through the same thing here with different Drs. Is anyone else going through this atm at all?

Been told I’m getting cut off of pain meds.

Hi, I have chronic pain & been on pain meds for years until recently. I was told that I can’t have both & to make a decision between pain meds & medical. I also have friends who are suffering from the same thing. I’m in QLD & am would like to know if anyone is going through the same situation. It’s absolutely ridiculous & I’m suffering due to this. We need to do something to stop this from happening.
