It's Even Better Than That

In 2017 there were a small percentage of people using medicinal cannabis in 17 States (When compared to the entire population). Medicare prescription drug costs were almost $165M.

These savings did not include:

  • HMO/Private Health Prescriptions
  • Increased Economic Production through fewer sick days
  • The number of people who would use cannabis if it was completely legal
  • The rest of the United States

We're Talking Billions of Dollars in Reduced Healthcare Costs

Essentially the end of the "healthcare crisis" created, in part, through the prohibition of cannabis as a medicine.
