Dr. Gupta, its going to be tough to get Jeffs attention. Hes all wrapped up investigating and rooting out Deep State corruption, you know...
...I think?

I do not see how replacing one addiction with another is an improvement.

I've heard that smoking marijuana helps cure cancer and heal the planet.

Or it could lead to opioid addiction. It depends on which direction you’re coming from.
To: Telepathic Intruder
I would side with your theory. Get hooked on smoking dope can lead some people into looking for better or different highs.

I knew lots of pot heads back in the 60s-70s. Marijuana can be psychologically addicting. But it is not physically addictive. The opioids that doctors seem to be dispensing like candy are. I dont condone normal marijuana use but controlled in strength and dispensed in a non smoking form for people with chronic pain could be a way to go.

Marijuana most certainly is addicting.
I cant help but wonder if at least some portion of the opioid epidemic is due to the push to legalize marijuana.

Yeah, might as well add alcohol, and cigarettes, and give them some electronic devices with war games to help them skip out of reality.
To: Vaquero
I guess I don't go to the dr. enough because mine has never given away opiates “ like candy”.. Any facts to support opiates being dispensed “ like candy’ or are you propagating a rumor you heard? Its the street drugs that are the problem, and a few folks being caught with prescription drugs that aren't their own and a few unscrupulous MD’s given the rest of the world a bad impression. As for marijuana helping with pain I admit IDK, never tried it for pain. is it a gateway drug? so is coffee, I want a cigarette with every cup or with every beer, but I don't want dope with my cigarette or anything else.

Did you READ my post ?
I wrote:

Opioid addiction is physical and causes physical pain when removed.
These are 10s of thousands and more people legally addicted to the $h!t the doctors are now pushing.

There is a connection between schizophrenia (triggering psychosis) and marijuana usage. If one is prone, read up!

Amen. It does however make opioids less effective and requires the use of substances such as ketamine if regular users have an injury or surgery. But at least they are t using opioids......

I heard an interesting stat yesterday regarding opioids; Drs are writing less scripts than ever before, while at the same time opioid ODs are skyrocketing. So the crackdown has done two things; people who need opioids are being denied while addicts are turning to more deadly synthetics.
