OT - Legalizing pot saves big money and opiate overdoses
No wonder the Republican leaders don't want to legalize, their big
corporate donors can't handle the competition. "Rusty Williams is the patient advocate on the West Virginia Medical Cannabis Advisory Board. He said a survey of states that have legalized medical marijuana showed a sharp drop in Medicaid drug spending. "They're seeing a collective annual savings of $156 billion, Williams said. People are opting to pay out-of-pocket for cannabis rather than have their insurance pay for pharmaceuticals." also "On a human level, they point to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association finding states with legal medical cannabis saw an average 25 percent reduction in opiate overdoses.

So much for the conservative principle of leaving people free to run their own lives. And why aren't you complaining to Trump? Many states now are openly violating federal law, allowing pot to be grown, distributed, taxed, and sold. I guess Trump has discretion in enforcing the laws after all? |

They can try it, see if it works. Also, I agree with you, I've seen a lot of reports of pot working on a variety of ailments, Stories of parents who children with seizures for example, where nothing else works, but pot does. We're accumulating data on the whole story, the downsides too, in the states that are legalizing it. That's why having states is a good thing, it's a lab to find out what works. So far, from what I see, the legalization of pot seems to be having a whole lot better outcome than legalizing illegal aliens with sanctuary cities and states. |

I did work as a chemist and my senior thesis was on assisting in making anticancer drugs. I wanted to work for a pharmaceutical company but offers came in to late and I ended up in polymers. Basically all natural materials have been investigated for medicinal purpose and active ingredients sought out and synthesized or purified for medicinal use and even modified for superior effectiveness. That way gives exact dosage control rather than consuming the natural product where efficacy varies. People still chew willow bark for pain but it is better and safer to take aspirin. I don't know of any that are smoked. If legalized for recreational purposes like they do for alcohol or cigarettes, that's a different story. |

In spite of what they like to tell you, marijuana has been thoroughly tested by the drug companies and even if it is sometimes effective on an illness, there are much better drugs available. As the fox certifies that the hen coop is 100% fox proof... Are those the same drug companies that thoroughly tested drugs that they had to withdraw after they killed more than they cured? The ones that handcrafted the opioid crisis? The ones that think a 1000% price increase is fine business? **** them. |

"Rusty Williams is the patient advocate on the West Virginia Medical Cannabis Advisory Board. He said a survey of states that have legalized medical marijuana showed a sharp drop in Medicaid drug spending. "They're seeing a collective annual savings of $156 billion," Williams said. "People are opting to pay out-of-pocket for cannabis rather than have their insurance pay for pharmaceuticals." also "On a human level, they point to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association finding states with legal medical cannabis saw an average 25 percent reduction in opiate overdoses.

The whole medical marijuana thing is just a smoke screen by the pot heads to get it legalized. Only legitimate use that I know of is marinol and the pure chemical is used: https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-9...l-oral/details In spite of what they like to tell you, marijuana has been thoroughly tested by the drug companies and even if it is sometimes effective on an illness, there are much better drugs available. Do you really think big pharma is going to give the real truth about something that is going to cost them BILLIONS? CBDs alone have help a lot of people get off the opiods that big pharma said were completely safe and have cause the biggest health risks.
