Cannabis for Addiction

Are you struggling with addiction? Consume cannabis instead. Substituting cannabis in place of more harmful drugs is a winning strategy in the fight against addiction. In states with medical marijuana laws opioid deaths have dropped 25%. Evidence shows cannabis effective in treating opioid, alcohol and tobacco addiction.

"This first-ever clinical examination of a large number of medical marijuana applicants depicts a population that is remarkably normal. The percentages earning bachelors’ degrees and doctorates are nearly identical to the national numbers. They are, in the main, productive citizens with jobs, homes and families who smoke marijuana weekly or daily – and have in some cases for decades.

For the vast majority of these applicants, their use of cannabis ultimately led to a decrease in the use of tobacco, alcohol, and hard drugs. Asked to compare their current alcohol consumption with their lifetime peak, over 10% claimed to be abstinent and nearly 90% claimed to have cut their drinking in half.

They also report using cannabis as self medication for stress and anxiety – with fewer side effects than the legal pharmaceutical alternatives."
