Its easier to get opioids than it is to buy weed in some States. I wonder why?

I find kratom superior to cannabis in this regard. Of course kratom is not without concerns, but in the scheme of things they're just unpleasant rather than deadly.

I have chronic pain and some headspace stuff that it really helps with but at this point my relationship with it could be construed as, um, er, addicted -- but same thing with coffee.
Cannabis can be psychologically addicting (a close friend is a chronic cannabis user who wheezes like a 2 pack a day cigarette smoker). It is not for everyone but should absolutely be legal everywhere.

Maybe not, I read that as compared to opioids, both Cannabis and Kratom being safer, with this person saying Kratom is more useful than Cannabis for this. Hopefully I read that right!

Nah, I have chronic pain. Muscle stuff (back, hips). And arthritis. They're insantly worse the moment I consume. I know it's hard for those who enjoy cannabis to understand this. But for me it's a highly unpleasant drug. Maybe the most unpleasant of the various recreational substances I've taken over the year. For me it's pain and paranoia. In the milieux I was in in my 20s it was constantly around, and wow, was I ev…
I don't know if this will help you but: Cannabis tends to amplify whatever you are thinking about. If you are mentally focused on the pain that will almost certainly be counter productive. For paranoia, a trick that works for me is to mentally/consciously call out the paranoia and acknowledge that it is exaggerated/not real and instead caused by the cannabis. As soon as I do that it disappears.
There's little pleasure in the substance. No value to me.
Sorry, cannabis lovers, but you need to stop proselytizing.
I get you like it. But it also kind of sucks.
100% legal here I could walk down the road and buy it... and I couldn't be bothered.

It's still crazy to me that I was just given hydros when I got my wisdom teeth out at 18. I didn't even need them, I was barely sore.
That's changed a lot. I had hydrocodone prescribed after mine (~15 years ago?). On the other hand, my son just had his out and got 800mg ibuprofen and 625mg tylenol alternating. Seemed to do okay as long as he kept on the schedule.
High-dose alternating ibuprofen & acetaminophen seems to be the go-to regimen nowadays, with oxycodone only for severe pain control and only in combination with acetaminophen. Apparently oxycodone and acetaminophen have synergistic effects; anecdotally, when someone I know had a major inpatient surgery recently, they said that the oxycodone made them feel like shit unless they took the acetaminophen along with it.
I don't know why they use high-dose ibuprofen instead of meloxicam, but I guess there are good reasons for it (maybe greater risk of GI damage?).

Weed is a plant that can rot. This makes its transport more finicky, and more bulky. Pills are much easier to transport, particularly fentanyl with its small dosing amount. And one of the most dangerous things is meth, since recently it’s now being developed from shelf-stable chemicals. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/11/the-new...
THC/CBD containing edibles, oils and capsules come to mind.
I mean, there are test kits, I just don‘t want to bother.
