RE: Alcohol Vs. Marijuana - Is weed really safer? A social media perspective

in #health7 years ago

The fact that Marijuana is in the same deadly classification as Heroine, is a joke. Pain killers which are "legal" drugs have far more lasting effects than marijuana. People are getting hooked on pain meds and when the Dr script runs out, they turn to the street to buy on the black market. That gets expensive and then those people are turning to heroin. Heroin is killing people and a lot of it starts with pain meds. if they would finally legalize marijuana on the Federal level, this could be used as an alternative to these dangerous opiods. But I'm sure Big Pharma would not be happy with that verdict.

Sort:  

You are dead on about big pharma. That's why Insys Pharmacuticals spent about $500k fighting legal marijuana in Arizona. And that same company got approved for synthetic cannbis drugs: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/03/24/a-pharma-company-that-spent-500000-trying-to-keep-pot-illegal-just-got-dea-approval-for-synthetic-marijuana/?utm_term=.611c7e9a6015
