—No doubt there is a nationwide opiod epidemic. The rates are lower in States with legal marijuana.—
“Montana, for instance, had a 1.7 percent reduction in the number of people who tested positive for opioids after its medical marijuana law went into effect.”
Lol.
I didn’t see this type of reply yet for please forgive me if already been said.
I did see where someone said this was another ‘gotcha question’ - which is exactly what I think it was. Where no matter how they answered it was going to be a hot button twisted issue.
No matter which side you are on the many issues of marijuana, the fact remains there is are FEDERAL LAWS involved right now. President Trump and his office is enforcing FEDERAL LAW and if they didn’t say (and do) enforcement, then he will be attacked for it. He is going to be attacked on this no matter what he does.
This will be what it takes to change the laws back to being a state issue on this - if people are really serious about doing that. It does cause those in Congress to make a stand on it. The lawmakers who want it legal will have to agree something to give some power back to the states. Or take it off the ‘dangerous drug list’. This forces Congress to get off their buts and work on the laws and their overreach.
