Color me cynical, but this seems just like Opioids to me: they are warming up to it because its good for business.

  How is marijuana even remotely as addicting as opioids? (Hint: it is not)
  • krustyburger 8y ago
    The parent didn’t say anything about it being addictive, just that there was a lot of money to be made distributing it, which there clearly is.

      A major component to opioids is how addicting they are.. which plays right into the profitability. Marijuana wouldn't be as profitable, so it is not 'the new opioid'.

        its pretty generally accepted that marijuana is psychologically addicting. so addiction certainly plays into the profitability. then again facebooks business model is based off addiction to scrolling, so ehh.

      There's also good money in most medical professions... does that make medicine bad? The profitability of a thing does not necessarily indicate it's ethical value.
