WOW Stox, I thought you were much smarter than that.
You obviously received your education on MJ by watching the movie Reefer Madness, and or Jeff Sessions...lol.
The OPIOID prescription abuse peddled by the medical community and big pharma has DECREASED significantly in states where MJ is legal, but not enough. THAT is well documented!
Show me yours (documentation)....you just say it and cannot prove it. Wake up for the propaganda rooted in your brain. KIDS cannot buy brownies and other any edibles you MUST be of legal age.
"This week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions paused a discussion of the opioid epidemic to, once again, go after marijuana. He suggested that addictive pain medication wasn’t the only problem and that many heroin addicts start out “with marijuana and other drugs.”
There is a relationship between cannabis and opioids, but Mr. Sessions has it backward. Marijuana isn’t a gateway drug to opioid addiction; it’s a safer alternative to pain medicines. Mr. Sessions’s vow to crack down on marijuana will only make the opioid epidemic worse.
We know that 40 percent of all opiate overdose deaths involve a prescription opiate. So having legal access to cannabis as another option for pain relief may actually reduce consumption of opiates."
