11. Only one (1) time have

I failed a dt, this in June 2015.
At the time I was getting monthly Rx’s for OxyContin 40’s & Percocet 10’s for chronic pain. I’ve had four (4) neck fusions, one (1) of which failed and one (1) lower back (L-4/S-1) surgery. My test showed 22ng’s. This drs threshold was 20ng. He didn’t drop me, though. Started using cannabis (vapor) in late September and have, just about, weaned myself off of opioids.. It has taken me over six months to get off OxyContin. I suspect I may have to continue, in addition to the cannabis, oxycodone 5’s.. By the way in the beginning my wife was very skeptical about my using cannabis to get off opiates. She has changed her tune, at least some.
