I think the problem is I have read the research, and it didn’t confirm the claims made on its behalf.

Now, with legalization, “cannabusiness” is being commercialized along the lines of alcohol and tobacco.

When businesses are failing, they’ll try anything to earn back some of their investment.

One of the key ingredients for a drug epidemic is a false sense of confidence in the safety of drug use.

These are questions that come up with every drug, not just cannabis. And unanswered, they can lead to problems down the road.

We focus on the drug, as if someone who uses heroin, for instance, can’t also have a problem with alcohol, or sleeping pills, or methamphetamine, or this new, more potent form of marijuana that’s showing up everywhere.

They say they’d rather have other industries, but candidates are scarce. So they bet on cannabis.

The field is getting accustomed to patients arriving in addiction treatment complaining of problems with prescription opioids, stimulants, sedatives, etc, while actively enrolled in medical cannabis programs.

I don’t think there are any health benefits associated with the practice; it’s purely about getting high.
