My wife had surgery and she got a scrip for a bottle of 200 hydrocodones for $25. 200 of them.

Most people aren't aware that weed helps with pain yet.

Weed doesn't cause Opioid side effects like OIC either. Chronic pain people will flock to edible pot.

In the long run, weed will hurt pain pill sales quite a bit. Edible pot products will eventually take a huge chunk out of the pain pill market.

Lets say you are right.

Someone is going to get to make those "medical" weed edibles. And guess who its going to end up being?

Yea, very possible.

One way or another Big business finds a way to control the market.

Still, doesn't change the initial topic we are discussing

Big Pharm will block pot as long as they can then they will take over selling it. The same thing with Big Oil and renewable energy.




Pot doesn't help with all types of pain so there will still be a market for Opioids.
