If you look at the fine print he's still leaving the decision to crack down to each stares attorney general but sessions is doing exactly what you would want to do is you want to see the opiate crisis get much worse. These people in DC are so stupid they don't even have the brain power of an earthworm but they want to treat us lower than dogs like we were born to be Jeff Sessions slaves. I'm so sick of these bullies.
- DanBC 9y agoCannabis use isn't the solution to opioid deaths. Other countries have strict laws about cannabis, and those laws are enforced, and they don't have the problems of opioid deaths that the US has. The real solution to opioid death is adequate treatment for pain; and treating addiction as a health problem not a criminal justice problem.
- hfourm 9y ago"The real solution to opioid death is adequate treatment for pain" Like.... medical marijuana? Hard to believe you wrote those three sentences without putting two and two together. Regardless if I partially agree with you, further criminalizing marijuana is also NOT the solution to opioid deaths.
- _acme 9y agoMarijuana may treat some forms of light pain, but it is in no way comparable to opioids as an adequate treatment for pain. It may be similar to Tylenol 3 (small amount of codeine plus APAP) on an opioid scale that goes much, much higher to medications such as hydromorphone, oxymorphone and fentanyl. Even heroin would only be classified as a 'medium strength' opioid compared to these examples.
- DanBC 9y agoThere's not much evidence of efficacy for cannabis as a treatment for long term pain.
- hfourm 9y agoTo replace all instances of opioids? No. It does a very good job with neuropathic pain though.
- _acme 9y agoVery often opioids are the only adequate treatment for pain; what else would you suggest?
