Source of the post “We are disappointed and frustrated Governor Wolf would promote recreational use of drug classified as a Schedule I narcotic by the federal government. Our state is the midst of an opioid epidemic. Governor Wolf signed a disaster declaration over the crisis and renewed the declaration six separate times since January 2018.
wtf does recreational use of marajuana (which will be regulated so people can't slip fentanyl into it... I know nothing of drugs, is that a thing?) have to do with the opioid crisis other than it'll make it less of a crisis as people can just go smoke pot for pain instead of prescription opioids?
Yes...unfortunately this is one area where I find Republicans loathsome. Like you said, pot would actually help people veer away from opioids, but the fcking pharma lobby, much like they are currently trying to do with kratom, is doing everything in their power to either ban it or keep it banned. It amazes me that in 2019, someone in Alabama, for example, can get caught with a perfectly normal amount of kratom, be charged with intent to distribute, and put in prison for years as a felon. For a substance that is legal in 45 states. **** Republicans in that regard.
