I mean, if alcohol were banned, that would send pharmaceutical sales through the roof since we’d lose our most common medication for anxiety, depression, burnout, and general this-hustle-culture-is-fucking-people-up disorder (GTD is the technical term).

Unless you have a documented use, like a card. Then the risk goes way up because it's easy for them to search.
I think you give the government too much credit still. In Florida for instance, ex-convicts registered to vote at the county office and were told they could based on a new law. The county clerks gave them bad information and they were still arrested.

I'm not sure what you're talking about...
I don't think the impact is as great as they say. Pharma firms collude to create very strong lobby and special interest groups that keeps people elected. Cannabis legalization created a lot more fragmented cannabilizing groups. Just take a look at Canadian legal market. The grey market always outperforms it and many have begun shunning the expensive legal weed. Lot's of weird actors in this space, especially these ps…
Just take a look at Canadian legal market. The grey market always outperforms it and many have begun shunning the expensive legal weed. This is not true, the opposite is happening. Illegal market share continues to decline, with 63% of people reporting buying from legal outfits in 2021, versus 43% in 2019. https://www.ccsa.ca/sites/default/files/2022-06/CCSA-Cannabi...

No, the ATF will absolutely go after the individual if you lied on the federal form.
The ATF isn't investigating every form to determine if you lied. Nor are the forms always used for firearm purchases.

Weed is a plant that can rot. This makes its transport more finicky, and more bulky. Pills are much easier to transport, particularly fentanyl with its small dosing amount. And one of the most dangerous things is meth, since recently it’s now being developed from shelf-stable chemicals. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/11/the-new...
That's silly. Weed is exactly that, a WEED, it grows freaking everywhere why the need for transport?
That, and it may be easier to grow in a laxer jurisdiction and transport it to a stricter one, than just trying to grow it in a strict one.

>States with medical marijuana laws had a 24.8 percent lower average annual opioid overdose death rate compared to states without such laws. In 2010, that translated to about 1,729 fewer deaths than expected. The years after implementation of medical marijuana laws also were associated with lower overdose death rates that generally got stronger over time: year 1 (-19.9 percent), year 2 (-25.2 percent), year 3 (-23.6…
Yes but "the reason why is not clear" and "a direct causal link cannot be established"
Do people replace opioids with cannabis?

Yes, that’s exactly what you should do. Breaking in followed by violence are mostly an imaginary problem anyway. You are far more likely to mistakenly shoot someone who incorrectly thought was breaking in than ever having to defend yourself.
So I’m suppose to ask someone who broke in my house “do you mean me harm”? There are only two other people who should come in my house unannounced and as soon as they come in the alarm will sound and they know how to turn it off. One of those people sleep next to me. If you’re breaking in, I’m assuming violence. The odds of burglary is 1/36 https://policyadvice.net/insurance/insights/burglary-statist...

It's still crazy to me that I was just given hydros when I got my wisdom teeth out at 18. I didn't even need them, I was barely sore.
That's changed a lot. I had hydrocodone prescribed after mine (~15 years ago?). On the other hand, my son just had his out and got 800mg ibuprofen and 625mg tylenol alternating. Seemed to do okay as long as he kept on the schedule.
