The opioid crises is also bad here in Canada , and your right @doitvoluntarily there is no quick fix , and the doctors are still dolling out prescriptions making the matter worse for some , as not everyone follows their subscribed amounts or refuse to slowly Wien off of them like their supposed to ! And instead start buying them from the streets becoming more addicted . It then becomes a vicious circle with no end ! I for I sure agree that cannabis could greatly help many for pain , like myself to take it medically without getting " high " as I don't smoke anymore for many years now like back in the day Ha haha !! And would greatly ease the cost on the health care system !! Great post thanks for sharing , Upped and Resteemed !!👏👍😀
