Welcome to the 100 Million Ways Online Community!
The Ordeal of Opioid Dependence
100 Million Ways is a non-profit online community devoted to you, the chronic pain sufferer dependent on opioids, and people with substance use disorder (SUD)—and to family and caregivers as well. Welcome! Hopefully, this will become your community. It is secure, anonymous, and safe to share your thoughts and possibly find a peer support environment that works for you, your friends, and your family.
Harm Reduction
At 100 Million Ways, harm reduction is our primary objective. What safe alternatives exist for those dependent on opioids or with substance use disorder? Does cannabis-based medicine, for instance, help manage your chronic pain or substance use disorder? If it does and can reduce opioid intake, it is less likely you will die from your opioid addiction, and more likely, your quality of life will be better.
What other alternatives might also be viable? We support all manner of recovery. Any time you need immediate attention or advice, please call the SAMHSA Hotline at 1-800-662-4357, and these folks will help you sort out recovery resources and services near you.
We're With You!
But we also support you as you try to survive opioid dependence related to chronic pain or substance use disorder – especially as the COVID-19 pandemic has made life even more complicated than it already was.
This Foundation is new. Please help us evolve to become a valuable support environment for people challenged by dependence or with the disease that is substance use disorder.
Explore below a vast array of free resources available exclusively from 100 Million Ways, as well as external information (see links to television features below)

100 Million Ways' Brian Chadwickdescribes the genesis of the Foundation
The Foundation Name: We started with a vision to eliminate 100,000,000 doses of opioids from the “street” by the impact cannabis-based medicine has on decreasing the amount of opioids — what it takes to manage dependence due to chronic pain or substance use disorder. There is evidence that cannabis-based medicine is one of the innovative and alternative ways to manage pain and slow the cycle of lethal drug use. Along the planning pathway, 100,000,000 doses became 100,000,000 Ways – to fund clinical research, collect real-word evidence and publish quality data to realize this vision. Please contact me at any time at chadwickbj@gmail.com with any questions or concerns or use the online submission form below. Brian J. Chadwick

100 Million Ways supports regulatory grade data collection and science to determine the effectiveness of cannabis-based medicine in helping to break the chains of unwanted dependence and substance use disorder.
Target:100,000,000 opioid tablets
Broadening the FocusWith the emergence of the coronavirus epidemic, 100 Million Ways has sought to reach beyond our immediate mission to address the unique stresses this crisis has placed on chronic pain sufferers dependent on opioids and people with the disease that is substance use disorder.
