re: I'm in Birmingham, AL for a conference on opioids

I’m unclear of your point. The ER visits quadrupled for teens after medical marijuana was approved.
Another study conducted from 2011 to 2013 showed an overall increase in marijuana related ER visits of 57%. That is before commercialization.

For the study, researchers reviewed the hospital system’s emergency department and urgent care records for 13- to 21-year-olds seen between January 2005 and June 2015. They found that the annual number of visits with a cannabis related diagnostic code or positive for marijuana from a urine drug screen more than quadrupled during the decade, from 146 in 2005 to 639 in 2014.

You probably shouldn’t be on opioids when attending conferences.

Fun fact:
There are 1.07 opioid prescriptions per Alabama citizen.
We lead the nation.
Roll Tide!

What’s the average number of days per prescription?

Didn't say.

Nu uh. There’s a kid I saw on Facebook who was having 3000 seizures every half minute and now he smokes a joint every other day and he’s fine.

Prescriptions (sheer volume) are being driven up by the attempt to combat the opioid issue. So I’d guess the average prescription runs somewhere around 6-10 days.

Sounds like you are a gotdamn moron. There is zero benefit to medical marijuana, other than the strains high in cannabinols and low in THC. Getting high wont fix shite. You will just end up with people hooked on opiods and marijuana. A better proposal would be to shut down a bunch of shitty Drs handing out opiods like gotdamn candy
Horribly ignorant. I have a unique perspective on this issue. If it wasn't for opiates I'd have to be heavily sedated and be bedridden.

116 people die every day due to overdoses
504 billion is the the estimated cost
2.1 mil people abused opioids
^^^^
2016
In 2017, opioid overdoses increased by 30%.

The state houses passed and Governor signed medical marijuana in Missouri a few years ago. A republican ran for state office just to get it passed, because his son had some type of epilepsy.
Couple of the reasons holding it back is:
1. Must be grown in the state
2. Must be insured by state insurers
There are more reasons, but that is just two I can think of without looking it up

Yea. It just passed by voter referendum in OK, and the state govt mucked it all up.

Teens are dumb. They eat too many edibles and get too high, freak out and go to the emergency room when there's 0% chance of them dying or having any lasting negative effects.

And it’s still a cost to the economy.

I do know why the research isn’t there. I also know that the fact that the research isn’t there highlights the inanity of statements like “we’re going to wonder why we didn’t smoke all our pharmaceuticals!!”
What a straw man, argument. You're really stupid.

The answer is obvious to you. Not to a lot of your fellow travelers (see Fawx a few posts back). I am for more choice and freedom. If people want to smoke pot, smoke pot. Just don’t pretend you’re curing cancer by getting high.
Do you realize how stupid you sound? Why are you doubling down?

Haven't read through the middle part of this thread yet from where we left off last night, but how did the presentation go?
