Trump administration’s dubious claims about pot and opioids are dead wrong | TheHill
'Paul Armentano is the deputy director of NORML (the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and an adviser for Freedom Leaf. '
'Investigators reported that patients’ prescription use of opioids, benzodiazepines, and antidepressants fell significantly when they had legal access to marijuana. '
'Overall, researchers determined, “States with medical cannabis laws had a 24.8 percent lower mean annual opioid overdose mortality rate compared with states without medical cannabis laws.”The JAMA study is hardly unique. '
'In reality, permitting legal access to cannabis is consistently associated with reduced rates of opioid use, abuse, and mortality. '
'White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer alleges that such federal intrusion is necessary in order to try and stem the rising tide of prescription opioid abuse sweeping across various parts of the nation. '
