It depends on what drugs you are asking about. theres so many its impossible to know what each single drug does to youre skeletal system alone. i do know Marijuana is a SAFE NON-physically-addictive alternative to pharmaceutical pain meds like opiates. i myself broke my clavicle severely in a car wreck and was prescribed an opiate called HYDROCODONE. i was prescribed for 3 years and i finally had my plate taken out after a bone marrow transplant and my pain reduced greatly. well my doc and i wanted me to stop taking these pain meds. he never informed me of the PHYSICAL ADDICTION you're body creates when taking this med over a period of time. I had to slowly reduce my dose over several months to minimize withdrawel symptoms. well all i can say is that it was the hardest thing i have had to overcome IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I wasnt addicted to them BUT MY BODY WAS its impossible to explain the pain and suffering i went through to get myself off of those EVIL OPIATES. I felt like the devil was inside me trying its hardest to break out. every muscle, bone, and nerve in my body hurt and was screaming at me wanting the drug. what it did was take over my natural pain killing endorphins. so when i stopped taking the drug my endorphin level was near zero causing me to feel like i was dying. ive talked to women who have gone thru the same thing say its worse than child birth because of the legnth of the pain. now that I'm off opiate pain killers i smoke medical marijuana and it helps alot with no withdrawel.
