ty for posting! :D

In 2013, 17 states had medical cannabis programs. Those 17 states, even with the low numbers of people taking advantage of it (A lot of people still avoid it due to federal illegal status), those states saved Over $150M in Medicare prescription medication costs.

Only 17 states, and only the people who were willing to use it.

I estimate the Medicare savings will reach over $2Billion, when additional savings are figured in. Reduced number of health issues, reduced visits and on and on. Like it or not, cannabis use is healthier than non-cannabis use.

Keep it Clean! :D
