Legalized marijuana is replacing opioid prescriptions showing that the shift away from prescription drugs to cannabis is happening.

It would be interesting to study whether the shift is occurring due to doctors or patients themselves driving this change.

A daily dosage of cannabis costs $6.00 vs. hydrocodone $10.00.

I am aceh, indonesia. Cannabis can flourish in the tropics, such as aceh and thailand. has not been legalized and is still a polemic. in this post I see there will be changes about the legality of this marijuana. what is the problem with cannabis? as a marijuana plant must have efficacy and it is recognized. why is it prohibited. I think more to its wrong use.
legality is legitimate only with strict control.
if left free I think it will be a problem.

I think the reason is that prohibition of alcohol and cigarettes did not work, and when they were illegal, the government recieved no taxes, and the criminal element recieved all. They have very strict regulations and I think you must only use it at your home. In california, they use it casually, as they have very loose morals there. They do not represent the entire US, and it is better to be decriminalized and controlled, then the government recieves tax revenue, not the criminal, and theft and burglary are reduced, as the drug dealer are now out of business. There is difference between legalization and decriminalization.

I think what you are saying is very good, meaning the drug dealer will lose his job. But in the current prohibition context it is not a tax issue that puts forward, but the issue that marijuana is a drug and destructive type. there are different views on this. if it is true as you say it is the government's obligation to legalize and control its sales and use. so that distribution will be guaranteed.

Its because people are waking up to the fact that marijuana is harmless.
Its been easy to get for the past 10+ years.
The drug war on marijuana is a complete failure and everyone knows it.
The amount of tax revenue generated is mind blowing!
I predict it will be medically available all over the US by 2020!
Upvoted, Followed, and Resteemed!

Cannabis is a natural healing medicine like no other.Large corporations that supply said pharmaceuticals are spending millions to lobby against the legalization of cannabis.They will lose billions upon legalization.
Cannabis was made illegal under racial pretenses.This has been a long game that "They" have been playing with us for 80 years.The truth will come it will take more time but the lies need to stop.
Cannabis saves lives.
