That’s a lot of people that will have their guns taken away by president kamala. Pretty short sighted but this from a state that gets surprised by an energy bust every decade.
It saddens me that Governor Abbott hasn't come around on legalizing medical MJ and gambling (especially in the Daily Fantasy sports realm) in Texas. One day I hope...
gov fallice wasn’t legalizing a damn thing
the people moved mj forward
this revenue exists in spite of politicos and the head in sand state medical board
"medical"
Why can't people just be honest about it.

Exactly.
The first time I heard the phrase medical marijuana, I laughed my azz off.
Why not. We call hydrocodone a 'medical pain-killer', and we all know that its sales are as much from abuse than from legitimate pain resolution. Why the consternation when medical MJ gets the same treatment.
Are you saying marijuana doesn't have medicinal value? I hope that's not the case.
I think the overwhelming percentage of sales from prescription opiods actually goes towards legitimate pain resolution. Change my mind.
You're going to have to help me because I'm not sure I can give a correct answer. Wouldn't pain and the treatment for it be part of the doctor/patient relationship? What does my definition matter?
I know several people who have been prescribed medical MJ for "sleep issues".
Opioid Pain Reliever Prescriptions
In 2017, Oklahoma providers wrote 88.1 opioid prescriptions for every 100 persons...

opioids end up treating lots of emotional pain and life trauma
very naive to say “overwhelming” scrips are written for physical pain
Just the tip of the iceburg. The states have been padding the numbers like crazy gearing up for future lawsuits against the pharma companies.
Yep, Oklahoma got a big fat check from Purdue pharma not long ago, if memory serves.
The State of Oklahoma has also been reporting anyone who dies with an opiod in their system in the same bucket as overdoses. For example, if you pick up your buddy at the dentist after he got his wisdom teeth extracted and he died in a car crash with a very small amount of opioids in his system on the way home, OK is counting that in the drug related death category. so the graph in the link above is complete BS too.
i honestly don’t care enough about your opinion to change your mind or provide you with evidence
Comes straight from the mouth of the person responsible OK ME during a meeting on fixing SB1446. He was asked that specific example and he said yes.
Curiously, Drs. are evolving to accept pot as medicinal, primarily for chronic pain.
Since the DEA has weighed in with their formidable power, admonishing Drs. not to prescribe opiates to new patients, lest they lose their licenses, desperate to do something for the legit pain patients are urging them to give med. pot a go.
Funny, I lived in Texas in the 60s when one could get 2 years to life for simple posession. Wow, times, they be changing.

I wonder if the lawyers that represented the clients that just lost that giant lawsuit to Oklahoma knew that.
Lost giant lawsuit? They settled and Oklahoma got pennies on the dollar. Other states are laughing at how little Oklahoma settled for.
Can only speak for myself but I routinely get a prescription for hydrocodone with each medical procedure involving cutting into my body (major or minor although I consider any slicing into me as major). I tell the MD that I have plenty of that stuff already but there is a bottle waiting for me on discharge. I have two full bottles (30 pills each) in my cabinet which I've never used. Tylenol 650 mg has always relieved any pain.
From my perspective I think it's over prescribed.

A US citizen is more likely to die from an opioid overdose than from being in a car wreck.
I would guess that more of us ride in cars than use opioids, which amplifies the stat even more.
What evidence do you want to see? The bottles or the scars?
Look at the revenue being lost to the surrounding states from gambling. Lt. Gov. deep-sixed some of the MJ bills.
