That is not supported by the research, marijuana use seems independent from opiod deaths (neither harming nor helping).

  Hard line policing is the problem, not MJ/opiates itself. If you get in as much trouble doing/buying/selling/etc MJ as Fentanyl, you might as well do the latter. If MJ is legal, many would stick to that. Same for MJ-to-alcohol: and the alc producers know it, they lobbied fiercly against legal MJ and when it became legal (like in Canada) they were the first to invest heavily in it.

    Why not just do alcohol then? It's much stronger than pot, legal and cheap.

      it's a lot worse for your health, for one. also, they don't have remotely similar effects

        The argument though was that fent/meth users would stop using fent/meth if pot was legal. If that argument is true, wouldn't fent/meth users just use alcohol since that is legal? Alcohol is much better for you than meth and both are cns depressents.
