A new peer-reviewed study just confirmed what many in the cannabis industry have long believed — legalizing medical marijuana leads to significant reductions in opioid prescriptions. But if the data is this clear, why are so many states still restricting access to medical cannabis and home cultivation?TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, breaks down the findings from researchers at the University of Southern California and Cornell University, who analyzed Medicaid prescription data from 2010 to 2020. They discovered that states with active medical cannabis programs — especially those allowing home-grow — saw the steepest declines in opioid use.The takeaway is undeniable: expanding safe, regulated access to cannabis isn’t just good policy, it’s a public-health win. Fewer opioid prescriptions mean fewer overdoses, fewer emergency visits, and more patients finding safer ways to manage chronic pain. Science now confirms what advocates have said for years — medical cannabis saves lives.#CannabisNews #MedicalMarijuana #OpioidCrisis #CannabisReform #CannabisResearch #Dutchie #TDRCannabisInFive #ShaddDales #HarmReduction #PublicHealthWant to see last week's recap?   • Pennsylvania Sets Stage for Adult-Use | TT...  Want to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Could Massachusetts Reverse Legal Cannabis...     • Big Change Is Coming to Cannabis Over the ...     • Pennsylvania Takes Major Cannabis Step | T...     • FLA State Officials Throw Out 200K Signatu...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
