Cannabis Dispensary Raids Harmful to Your Health

Cannabis Dispensary Raids Harmful to Your Health
A major study in 2015 found that states with legal cannabis dispensaries had up to 31% lower rate of deaths from prescription opioid overdoses. Researchers noted that the longer the legal cannabis dispensaries were in place, the more the rate of opioid-related problems declined.

This makes sense because cannabis is often used as a pain reliever, just like opioids are. When people have easy access to a safer pain-reliever, cannabis, they are less likely to use the riskier one, opioids.
