Can I self medicate with alcohol and weed instead?

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Devinetively possible, but I would advise to only go for weed, since its much "healthier" (compared to alcohol)

Also not really a ling term solution.

Healthier than alcohol or a long term solution ?

Weed is less harmful than alcohol, with almost absolute certainty, which is not to say it is good for your health ("Healthier" does not equate "Healthy"), because it isn't good for your health. There are many many studies backing this claim. Also, it is still debatable whether it is good for the mind of an adult. Some people seem to believe so. It is proven to be bad for your mental health before the brain is fully developped (~25 years old).

Long term solution for pain: I guess if nothing else works, it could be.. Everyone deals with pain the way they can with what they can access/afford.

Yes, of course, but that would be ineffective and you will die in pain eventually.
