The paper reports:
> Colorado’s legalization of recreational cannabis sales and use resulted in a 0.7 deaths per month (b = −0.68; 95% confidence interval = −1.34, −0.03) reduction in opioid-related deaths.
Which if I understand right, they're pretty sure it did something, but that something might be so small that the value of reporting it is negligible.
- KGIII 9y agoThat seems to imply causation. I am skeptical. Don't get me wrong, I smoke a lot of pot. I don't do so for health reasons. I just like smoking pot. The default position I hold is skepticism. There have been some less than truthful claims of efficacy and curative properties. I'm very much pro legalization. The medicinal benefits have no bearing on this opinion.
