Breaking: Legal medical marijuana just cut opioid doses by ~20% in chronic pain patients – real NY data, 18 months tracked
At the start, people were taking an average of 73 morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per day — a fairly high opioid dose.
After 18 months, the average dropped to 57 MME per day.
The more days each month a person had medical cannabis dispensed to them, the less prescription opioid they needed.
Specifically: getting a full 30-day supply of medical cannabis in a month was linked to taking about 3.5 fewer MME of opioids per day (a statistically significant drop).

Beginning today, at @POTUS' direction, records related to Amelia Earhart's final flight and disappearance 88 years ago will be declassified and shared with the American people.
These records include reports, maps, and other documents tracing Earhart's final journey, her last known communications and location, and the initial search following her disappearance.
Thanks to President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, a historic initiative is underway to digitize and publicly release these records from across the federal government, including newly declassified files today from @NSAgov.
As agencies identify additional files, the new documents will be uploaded to @USNatArchives on a rolling basis, alongside those previously released, at https://t.co/O9e08dK1wN.
Can autistic kids READ MINDS? Johns Hopkins-trained neuropsychiatrist @DrHennacy41125 tells me she tested this by asking autistic kids to name the object their therapist was thinking of. The kids answered CORRECLY 97% of the time. Why isn’t this on the front page of every paper?!
The real Farm Bill bait and switch: Dangerous ‘dope, not rope’
‘The 2018 Farm Bill was intended to legalize “rope, not dope.” Congress never intended to create a national market for intoxicating cannabinoid products’

Joe Rogan and Russell Crowe discussing how the alcohol lobby fights to keep cannabis illegal:
“In Texas, there's a lot of push from the alcohol lobby to try to make marijuana even more illegal.” - Joe Rogan
“Yeah. Because people don't necessarily have to drink that much if they get stoned.” - Russell Crowe
“That's what they're worried about. It’s stupid. The fact that it works is crazy. That people are still- with 0 deaths [from cannabis], that they're still pushing to take [cannabis] away when you've got [alcohol] that everybody uses. It's very strange.” - Joe Rogan
