In the course of providing oil potions to OMMP patients with various dis-eases, we’ve had some notable successes reported that we would like to share with you in the patients own words.
Opiate withdrawal is one of those areas of success, so here is a testimonial from one of our first major success, followed by a day to day log from our last successful withdrawal on cannabis oil reported to us.
The first is from a patient addicted for 8 years and using 270mg morphine sulfate a day, and the second addicted for 15 years to 60 mg Morphine sulfate per day and 4 mg Klonopin per night.
The second made his decision to withdraw from the opiates, after switching medical providers and being told that they would not prescribe pain medications for him, as long as he used cannabis, unless it was a terminal condition.
Successful withdrawal after 8 years!
Successful withdrawal after 8 years of heavy opiate dosage over a 90 day period on QWET oil , to become opiate free.
He initially tried reflux extracted oil, but the concentrated chlorophyll turned his digestive tract inside out. We extracted his first QWET oil and it worked well for pain, so he attended one of our skunk pharm classes and learned to make his own so that he was self supporting.
Here is his thank you letter to us from Ronnie B, aka Southpaww, and may I note that he stayed opiate free and subsequently successfully withdrew himself from the oil as well?
______________________________ ___________
I want to thank the people whom taught me to be healthier today.
Graywolf, Eloquentsolution, Joe, Growgeek, you are just awesome.
You taught me to make the oil in Nov. and as of then, I was able to reduce the Morphine intake from three, to one 60mg a day by months end.
In Dec. I returned the script for 90- 60mg. Morphine and asked for 30′s instead. The Dr. does know of my oil intake.
I used 24 of the 90 pills 30mg. this month, and for the last 10 days I have been RX free.
I had my Dr. appt. today and was able for the first time in over 8 years, to not get a refill.
I am for the new year FREE of the Morphine.
Thank You: The 4 Amigos
Southpaww
Successful withdrawal after 15 years!
Eddie Kirk is another associate of both ours and Ronnie B’s, whom successfully withdrew from both Morphine and Klonopin using cannabis oil. At his request, we supplied enough of our Holy Shit potion to supports his efforts.

Hi you two Graywolf and Eloquentsolution.
I have used the medicine as you have written. And I believe I am almost done. It’s been a long 14 days and I can see an end to this. I have kept a journal of the withdrawal process. And will be finishing it in the next day or 7 days. I want to be off the Morphine. I am off the Klonopin.
Find below the journal. When it is finished. (say another 7 days) I will submit it to you for your web site. I will not use it here. It will be yours.
Thank you both,
Kirk
15 milligram Morphine sulfate extended relief. Two every 24 hours
2-2Mg Klonopin per night.
HAOH
So Hi
I wanted to be able to thank you in a proper and unobtrusive way. Lol
This will be un-edited journal of withdrawal……
I have already shared almost everything that happened to me today including today’s doctor visit with Dale and he is a pretty smart guy, he thanked you for helping me both with the cancer meds and a chance to come off all the narcotics I am on, ((which should not be hard) I have done it before. It mostly effects my attitude not much body chills or changes in eating, I always notice I have more energy and able to do more. And with the meds you gave me and because Providence found THC in my blood or urine. Yeah so we saw that coming, so no big deal. I have been on 2-4 mils of klonopin for over ten years, and Morphine extended relief (well today 30 mils) in the morning lasts me till about noon the next day.
Extractions
Day 2 felt like dropping down to 15 mils for 24 hours so waited till 4 pm, felt terrible by then, had a great appetite slept with 2 mils of K.
Day 3 no cannabis by lungs, except two “vape” hits of A-flame. Woke at 7:30am went back to sleep until 8:30 then laid in one place contemplating the day and the pain I had not felt in a long time in my back Lets say 4th or 5th thoracic, a very deep pain.
An hour later I made my move and sat up, (day two no bowl movement)
Let’s see by noon I was taking my first dose of the day. No breakfast as usual
1:30 began to feel withdrawal took half a15 mil morphine and another dose.
(Figured to take the second half sometime during the late afternoon)
By four thirty felt slight withdrawal decided to take 2nd half and another dose.
6:30 first toke off pipe in three days decided to type this, Have chat tonight. Going to try and make it and Carla’s party tomorrow.
Day four spent most of three hours in bathroom, Essh. Day four woke feeling good. Best day yet woke with no pain, called friend. 10 am going to a party today. 10:30 need dose woke to Daughter’s Boyfriend in the house. Surprise!
Be back later.
The day started much better. No pain in my back lots in my right leg. I have had it for a long time but now I really feel it. Definitely livable?
1:30 still nothing to report down south, too bad. Oh boy. Need to take maybe a half a pill here in a bit so thought I’d write a quick update. Lets see had once stronger dose this morning. I am Feeling good. It’s a very hot day here and on my way to a party at EloquentSolution’s home.
Our Son gave me oil to vaporize.
Day five I think I lost a day. Chills and nausea No appetite Spent morning on “Pot” Titration
Day five woke at 7:30am went back to bed until 9am. Have to meet someone today to hand out seeds, spent most of the day in bathroom, I feel like crap. 12 noon. Still having to go to the bathroom, sweats, took half a 15 mil Morphine. And smoked a bowl of some fresh herb we just cured.
My Wife is spending the day sleeping. I feel like there is an end. Man this has been a long five days.
BRB
Day 7 am titrated went back to bed. Fell out at around 2 am (no klonopin for 5 days now).
Son gave us the morning wake and bake (with oil) 1 am feeling much better today slight headache. Yesterday was the hardest day. I felt sick most of the morning and did get some rest after taking some kind of nausea pill.
08-21
I have been irritable all day (not too much). Just wanted to let you all know too expect this. I am keeping my mind busy laughing with the kids.
8-22-2012
Morning. I thought I was almost done and find out I am not. I did not sleep last night. I did try around 4:30 just shutting off TV and laying in the dark till day light. I turned the computer on to see what was going on here at the sites. I did pass out from about 8 something to 10AM then the kids came in and here I am,
Bowel movements are not right yet.
One large admittance of my wrongness to alls those kicking drugs “This is not easy!”. I hope I am almost over this! I am down too one half of a 15 mil tablet twice a day every 24 hours, And HAOH
08-23-2012.
Last night I called an “audible irritable” (meaning: Beware I did not feel good).
I feel sick today it’s 3:50pm and I went to bed sometime around two and woke at 9. So I think this was my first nights rest in a few days. Much “to do” in the bathroom. Take a bath and get ready for the day. I took a quarter of 15 mils of morphine at noon. Titrated.
I feel the nausea now today, I am really happy I am maybe almost over this.
8-24
I did not go to sleep until day light, woke to Cheri rising at 8 am to leave for her Doctor Appointment. I had the runs this morning. I did make it through the night on that ¼ pill. It’s almost 10am now.
3pm shakes and chills sweating, and all that crap. Lol Titrated after doing dishes.
And hear I thought it was over. Hmm…..
8-25 went to sleep sometime around 3 or 4am. I woke at 7:30am. I did not take morphine (¼ of a 15 mil. Extended relief) until 12 noon. The bathroom affairs seem to be coming to a closing. (Thank goodness),
Cachexia (Pronounced Kuh-Kek-See-Uh) is one of the symptoms I am showing now. I notice that it rolls around my body affecting the different quadrants. It’s very scary and I suppose shock will participate in this.
Titrated.
4:30pm usually need morphine at 4 going to go as long as I can with none. Seem much more clearly headed today. J I am allowing myself the second half of a half if needed.
6pm feeling fine. (Well as much as one would expect.) I can’t wait for this to be over.
9 pm still on the ¼ 15 milligram dose of morphine from earlier. I feel a shocking sensation rolling around through my hands feet shoulders. This is very weird. My Liver is burning in my side. I spoke with Brother Vinny for a bit the other night in chat. I caught him up with what I was up to. He too wanted to express his gratitude to the Skunk Pharm Research Llc. Team.
10pm I am out doing the dishes. I have chills again and sweat. 11pm. Sh%*. Going to go ahead and take the other half of ¼ 15 milligram Morphine knowing that if I don’t I wont sleep and if I take it to late I won’t be able to sleep. I have not taken any more of the Klonopin since I first started writing this journal. My belly hurts. I hope that these electrical shocks I feel in the palms of my hands and stomach are related to the morphine withdrawal. They shoot down the arm and sit there spinning and then travel to the hands. Oddly enough one of the side effects I see of long term klonopin use is tremors and seizures.
8-26-2012
Hi all. I went to sleep last night sometime between 2 and 3 am. I woke at 7:30 or 8am. It is now 10am and I have not had any morphine for about 12 or 13 hours now I think. I will here in a bit maybe take that ¼ dose of 15 milligrams.
It’s 10 am now. I count 13 days. Essh…. I‘ll wait as long as I can before taking any morphine. I would like to get down to a ¼ of one of those 15 milligram pills soon. This is going to be a bit. Honestly I thought this would be easier. I realize now that these drugs were very strong. Using the ………..
What is Klonopin (Clonazepam)?
Clonazepam is in a group of drugs called benzodiazepines (ben-zoe-dye-AZE-eh-peens). Clonazepam affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety.
Clonazepam is used to treat seizure disorders or panic disorder.

Awesome to see your journal, Kirk. I am really impressed with how well you are doing. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be, but rest assured it will get easier. Keep your head up buddy
One thing to keep in mind about the morphine:
When you break an extended relief (slow-release) pill, you lose some/a lot/most of the slow-release feature of the pill. How much loss depends completely on the process they used to make that particular pill slow-release (there are several methods). In plain English, this means that the broken pill will not last nearly as long as it is supposed to and you’re going to spike and then plummet and feel like utter shit in between doses. I assume you are experiencing this already. If so, you might consider taking even fewer milligrams more often, to smooth it out.

I seen you here on PIF earlier. I had another sleepless night. Thanks for sharing with me.
Can I ask you how long you had the cramping in your legs? I really have never been through this. I just did what my doctor said. Really I was ordered to take up to 120 mg of Oxycontin and refused it years ago after taking it for a few years for degenerative disc disease. Now I have this undulations happening in my right calf. (I have had them for about a solid year now.) It started with my right leg weighing(feeling) like 100lbs. I had terrible cramps in that leg when sleeping which would wake me from a klonopin induced sleep. I had to use a walker. Doctors did those tests on me looking for the back damage and found cancerous nodes on my liver spleen and kidneys. They stopped messing with the back and concentrated on the liver. All the while knowing I had had Hep-C for over thirty years.
So I left Kaiser and went to providence. Of course they don’t like THC so they said they would help me detox off the morphine. I did it myself. Or I should say I am doing it now. I really expected to be through this like weekend homework. lol
Okay I will go get water.
Been off the RX for I think Five days. Still having weird hours in the bathroom. Blah.
Okay i woke mom up making coffee. I guess I will walk over to the store grab some smokes. Take a bath. And get over to ES about 12 noon,
See ya later Ronnie.

I still have it on ocassion but no where as bad. BUT you need to drink water white grapefruit juice and cranberry juice I went through a gallon plus of water every day and half gallon of each juice daily. the quivers and discomfort is mostly nerves refiring naturally instead of DRUG induced muscle coma.
and 5 days is a good start give it anouther 40 dayz. Remember when I got off the RX it only took a few days then a month of nerve refiring.
I know you can get through this. You have a supporting family this helps big time.
walking and lots of streatching will help with the muscles

Hey Graywolf.
Good questions.
I left the Kaiser Medical group after 15 years of continual care. I had seen those doctors at least 6 times a year I finally got fed up with there ignoring my symptoms and left that Medical group and moved to Providence.
I was honest with Providence about the MMJ use, and they said they would not prescribe pain medication to “people who had THC in there system, ” Or “If and Only if they had a terminal condition”.
At the time of that first and second visit to Providence they did not have my years of records in front of them.
I asked if I could see the pain management specialist and was offered an outside provider other than Providence, Rather than jump those whoops and take their offer I decided to stop taking the klonopin and the Morphine on my own. I have several full bottles of both here.
Next question.
I have been clean from both the drugs now for about 30 days. I did not sleep last night again.
I have a sleeping disorder. My mind does not shut down to easily. It took years to build up to the level of Klonopin I was taking. All the while the drug stopped and rebuilt those brain pathways leaving me no natural melatonin . So I suspect the lack of sleep will prevail for sometime.
I would say that I am clean at this time and have no desire to take the medication here at hand. I started detoxifying that first day. So anytime you post will be fine. I am ready.
Thanks for your time and energy.
Like I said i have lots of medicine here if I wanted it. So I would say I am done.

Having recovered from heavy opiate use after a near life ending car accident, as well as having helped many folks in my area with detox, my heart goes out to you both and your success stories are great! Cannabis works wonders for this.
I feel bad reading over your diary of trying to live a normal with detox. What I have found is that time frame can be cut significantly, and without most of the withdrawal symptoms you experienced with a few simple steps. I have seen success from folks suffering anywhere from 100-300 mg/day dependencies.
Aside from the increasing cannabinoids into your body while you cut back opiates for a week or two(there’s a science to that as well), depending on the levels you are taking, absolutely designate those 4 days detox OFF. No work, no family stuff, your in bed. Be ready to be knocked out, get your hydration/diet in order, and a loved one to help monitor. You literally should be ingesting enough quality oil to sleep through most of everything, with few pains if you do wake up. Sleep, nutrition, and oil.
Dragging the detox through months of slowly cutting back pills and teasing the brain just makes your body want it all the more. That is also the worst part of the roller coaster ride opiates induce; Too many and your fine, none and your relatively fine shortly after detox, but too few consistently and the mind/body is forced to sit in that emotional limbo. Be serious to be off them, plan to sleep, and get good oil.

For a long time I thought I was alone in the self-discovery of using cannabis and concentrates to get off opiates. My story dates back to 2009. In 2008 I was shot at point blank range int the face with a 22 caliber. I lost my eye. I was really sad and the narcotics they gave me for pain were just numbing. Yes, I had been a smoker before, but did not realize the powerful effects this plant had, until I decided to make it my maintenance program. At the time I went from 160 mg’s of oxycontin a day to 16 mg’s of suboxone. Another opiate blocker that is still a partial agonist. I was tired of having to take something to continue with my life. I was into growing in my closet at the time. The plants were a great distraction, the fruit was the reward and boy did it help me get off the suboxone! I strongly attest to the truth that this plant really has some powerful medicinal effects and if used accordingly it can help anyone successfully get off any dosage of opiates they are on. You have to want it though. Can not rely on just the plant to help you. I went a year without any opiates before relapsing in 2011. I have recently learned how to make BHO and recently got myself a glass vacuum chamber and pump for purging. I have a few methods I use to make my BHO using Etoh as a wash. Then winterizing. I am a sucker to learn new techniques and new ways for making really strong concentrates for my dome. I am looking to get off the 16 mg a day from the subutex to just concentrates, but I do not necessarily live in a state with the abundance and choice most have in the West side of this continent. I do what I know and try and keep to myself.

Hey,
I just want to give an up-date. I was forced to taper down from 12-18 Norco a day, down to just a few a day. I was going to have to do this cold turkey, but I have some good friends who hooked me up! I got about 30 of the 5/500mg Vicodin, and a quarter ounce of some very nice concentrate. The Vicodin I got have too much Tylenol in to really get high, so I’m using them strictly to continue to taper down. I’m not high right now, but I’m also not sick and an emotional wreck. I do feel a bit on the down side, but nothing compared to going cold turkey. I have been using the concentrate successfully because it’s strong enough to fight off a lot of my withdrawal symptoms, which allows me to space out my dosage further apart. I find it especially helpful in the evenings when the insomnia and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) kick in.
I’ll keep you updated, but with the desire I have and the tools I have to work with I’m pretty confident that I’m gonna work this out…
One thing I want to say that I notice already being on a lower dose is that music is enjoyable again to me again, and since I’m not some messed up on those meds that I can actually enjoy the effects of the concentrate again. I’m not already so messed up that I feel more… Yeah, I just feel “more”, I’m less numbed. And today I have orientation and testing for some for the local Jr College.

It is with great respect that I’ve watched brothers Southpaww and Eddiekirk demonstrate that resolve, and was more than pleased that Holy Shit made it easier for them!
Our good thoughts go out to you bro! Hang in there, and I hope you will share!

Hey Erik;
Thanks for reading the above on my opiate withdrawal. It has been awhile since I posted this. I am still here and clean, I must say at 52 I feel pretty darn good. Yes I still have a small problem with sleeping but my mind is clearer than it has been in years. I have leaned to manage my pain levels with the use of the “Holy Sh*t Anointing Oil”
I still maintain contact with the skunk Pharmers, And I plan on taking some of there classes this year. Good luck with your recovery. And do stop back by the site and let us know how your fairing.
Peace.

Thanks for posting this. It gives me hope. I’m taking opiates as a painkiller right now, but would like to get off. I’ve used my concentrate to space out my doses, and it worked well enough that I have even skipped doses. The problem is the availability of one verses the other. I’m pretty sure that with enough concentrates I could kick this habit.

You’re welcome bro! Sadly true, even at 20% yield, it takes a five times as much quality plant material as our dose, and we still have to extract and formulate it ourselves. How much easier it would be if you could pick up either at the pharmacy!
Where are you located? In Portland, we have forum groups like freemygreenpdx.com, where you can post for free trim donations, making it possible to lay in a better supply if necessary. That is especially true at outdoor harvest time in the fall.

Like I said skunkpharm I am 5-6 days in. I have plenty of good material, 99% ISO Cases of Xikar butane but no Ether-Ethanol or any QWET suitable solevent. I want the best (over 99% pure). I am still having chills, waking up with nausea and horrible sweats. My habit was more intense than most on here. Using 3-4 grams of H IV /day.My detox went like this.
Day 1 20 mg methadone 3 mg xanax throughout day
Day 2 15 mg methadone 2 mg xanax throughout day
Day 3 10 mg methadone 1 mg xanax when I really needed it.
Day 4 5 mg methadone 10 mg vallium
Day 5 0 mg methadone 20 mg vallium
Day 6 0 mg methadone 10 mg vallium
I have been coughing the whole time trying to intake as much BHO as possible. Shatter form, fully vac-purged. Clean, golden, tasty stuff. The coughing and act of smoking constantly helps. I have been using a Healthstone as my method of consumption (more of a vapor than a Ti nail) I also have a Thermovape Revolution D.A.R.T for on the go.
Any advice would be appreciated. I was also wondering where you sourced your used GC.
Cheers,
Mcgreen

Sorry you are having to go through withdrawal bro!
I recommend taking a concentrate orally for pain. I use Holy Shit sublingual formulation for that purpose. Check out the formulation at http://skunkpharmresearch.com/holy-anointing-oil-and-holy-shit/
I scored the pristine Perkins Elmer 8500 GC off E-Bay for $1,200 with complete software and manuals. It is virtually unused, without even heat discoloration in the oven. We are into installation about another $1,000.

I was taking 600 mg MS Contin (morphine) daily. That was my base. I was given liquid morphine, Percocet, and other drugs for break through pain. I took klonopin and many other drugs to counter the side affects of the drugs. I now only use cannabis. I’m still in pain. But at least now I have good days

Hi Cyn Sativa;
And I also thank you for sharing your success with us. So glad your off those terrible prescriptions. Cannabis is a remarkable plant. Capable of many things.

Hi today is the 22nd of Oct. 2012 I just looked up above and seen it has almost been 60 days clean. I wanted to update this thread earlier but I have had some medical issues. (Probably related to withdrawal) I also had thought it had been much longer.
Since stopping the use of the benzodiazepines I have had Tinnitus ( /tɪˈnaɪtəs/ or /ˈtɪnɪtəs/; from the Latin word tinnītus meaning “ringing”) is the perception of sound within the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound. Tinnitus is not a disease, but a condition that can result from a wide range of underlying causes: neurological damage (multiple sclerosis), ear infections, oxidative stress,[1] foreign objects in the ear, nasal allergies that prevent (or induce) fluid drain, wax build-up and exposure to loud sounds. Withdrawal from benzodiazepines may cause tinnitus as well. In-ear earphones, whose sound enters directly into the ear canal without any opportunity to be deflected or absorbed elsewhere, are a common cause of tinnitus when volume is set beyond moderate levels.
Also I have visible tremors in the lower extremities. This made me go see a doctor and consequently a specialist. The neurologist performed an electromyography and a nerve conduction velocity test. He stuck needles in several (35-40) spots on my body. For example, that the patient has a form of peripheral neuropathy (damage to peripheral nerves) or myopathy (muscle disease) rather than ALS. The physician may order magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a noninvasive procedure that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to take detailed images of the brain and spinal cord. Although these MRI scans are often normal in patients with ALS, they can reveal evidence of other problems that may be causing the symptoms, such as a spinal cord tumor, multiple sclerosis, a herniated disk in the neck, syringomyelia, or cervical spondylosis.
Based on the patient’s symptoms and findings from the examination and from these tests, the physician may order tests on blood and urine samples to eliminate the possibility of other diseases as well as routine laboratory tests. In some cases, for example, if a physician suspects that the patient may have a myopathy rather than ALS, a muscle biopsy may be performed.
After the test I was told I did have onset ALS. I have been asked to perform a swallow test next and I have to have another CTSCAN to rule out hidden cancers. I am here and I am alive. I will be back to update this thread again in the future.
I have been offered more of the RSOIL from http://specializedfomulations.com eloquentsolution.
Thank you JD.

Wow, what great info. I was hooked on Oxycodone 10 mg 3x/day for 1 1/2 years and quit cold turkey. Worst thing for me mainly was rls (restless leg syndrome) in both legs and arms and lost some sleep for a week or so. Also a few years back Clonazepam 1 mg/day for several years that I quit and tapered for about a year down to .25 mg/day. Some say benzo withdrawal makes nicotine, alcohol and heroin withdrawal look like a walk in the park (just look it up). I think quitting benzos was really hard for me but everyone’s different. 2 I know say benzos are easy to quit.

Thank you Ronnie it’s been a long month.
I would like to thank all my friends who helped with advice and encouraging words. This was something I never thought I would have to do. It was much harder than I ever imagined.
Many times during this procedure I had to stop and pray for strength. I spent many long sleepless nights (Followed by bouts of giggling). Last night the 5th of September I was up until 4am so my body is still having issues even today.
I too wish to thank Our Daughter Jessica and Son Joshua for their love and laughter during this process, they were implementable.
Lastly and most importantly my loving Wife Cheri;
The love of my life, the reason I raise everyday. Thank you for the years of care, love, & memories.
God Bless you all for this opportunity to be in the here and now.
Kirk
