"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.
