What? Legal marijuana lowers opioid overdose rates? How can that be?

How can this be? Well according to JAMA it turns out that ill people using Marijuana don't get as hooked on opiod pain killers so they don't OD - an estimated 1729 fewer deaths over the study period (a 20 to 33 percent reduction) even with the modest amount of Marijuana that the stone cold killers at DEA let by. Heck maybe if we let people use marijuana legally we can save more lives than the DEA causes to be slaughtered around the world each year.

But church ladies tell me that marijuana is of the Devil and the only way to save people using drugs is to destroy them. It's the church lady way: brutality in the name of God. The DEA's mommas are all church ladies.

 Reason has the story.
