How you define recovery is up to you. I can't tell you whether it's okay to use marijuana while also taking buprenorphine or otherwise in recovery from an opioid use disorder. Only you can decide that for yourself.
Ever wondered if it's safe to smoke pot while on Suboxone? In this episode of 'Workit Health Blog Post Recordings', Kali tackles this pressing question head-on. With marijuana legalization spreading across states, many in opioid recovery are curious about how cannabis might fit into their journey. Kali breaks down what limited scientific data exists, including a study from the Journal of Addiction Medicine that found no negative impact of marijuana on buprenorphine therapy outcomes.
There's also a look at pregnant women on buprenorphine who used marijuana and the slightly increased risk for neonatal abstinence syndrome. But science isn't the whole story. The episode dives into personal experiences and varied definitions of recovery, emphasizing that the choice to use marijuana while on Suboxone is deeply personal. Kali highlights Workit Health's harm reduction approach, which promotes safe, controlled substance use that doesn't interfere with daily life or lead to dismissal from treatment programs.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the intersection of marijuana use and opioid recovery, offering a balanced view that encourages self-reflection and informed decision-making.
