Marijuana Approved as Substitute for Opioids [POLL] Do You Agree?
Treating Drug Abuse with Drugs? That's what this boils down to, however, one type of drug, Opiates, has caused death in epidemic proportions while another drug, Marijuana has caused zero deaths.

Medical Marijuana is legal now and is presently thought to be a better alternative to treating pain, so NYS has just approved Medical Marijuana to replace Opiates as the prescribed drug to treat chronic pain.
