Do you all think this will help or hurt the known opioid epidemic WV has?

The state where it's probably needed most. I remember seeing a picture of a dude taking 9,000 pills/ yr because he couldn't smoke medicinally

Another example of manufactured consent. This is no win for medical cannabis patients.

Cannabis legalization is a godsend for opioid addiction. New research being done in the field of addiction treatment is showing that cannabis use eases withdrawal symptoms and can help long-time opioid users break out of their cycle of dependency. I've even seen this first hand when I was in rehab several years ago when I managed to sneak in a small bag of the green stuff. My roommate was three days fresh off a four year run of IV black tar heroin, coke, and benzos; and I honestly think to this day that the weed may have helped save his life.

Lmao what the fuck ever man. At this rate I don't even care about these stupid laws anymore. Weed will ALWAYS be vilified among law makers even if something passes. I've said it before and I'll say it again, my state will be the last to legalize if it - ever does, but shit even if it does, it'll have the most outrageous restrictions for it anyway, like to the point you feel like a criminal for using the plant in the first place. So yeah, fuck that I'm done getting my hopes up. They just love to be cunts about weed. Fuck the system. The founders would be pissed if they were around to see this, and so am I, of what kind of shit hole the government has turned into!

Why is this tagged nsfw? First off it's on the darknet page, second it's just a picture of some plants. I don't think seeing a plant is going to poison any young minds.
