Cannabis stays in the system for about a month so you could get away with seeing how you feel with it. I was on hydrocodone and it helped me get off it completely. I prefer smoking or vaping because they give me more control. Edibles stay with you longer. Marijuana helps with sleep, and we eat better. Drugs they give out take away appetite and make sleep restless. Best of luck whatever you do. Peace.
