RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY HAVE LOOKED

INTO THE ISSUE OF OPIOID USE, AND SURVEYED PEOPLE TO FIND OUT

WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO USE OPIOIDS FOR PAIN

MANAGEMENT, OR MEDICINAL MARIJUANA.

NOW, OF THE ñ

IS BOTH AN OPTION?

IN SOME STATES, YES.

NOW, OF THE 2897 PATIENTS RECRUITED FOR THE SURVEY,

63% WERE USING MARIJUANA FOR PAIN RELATED CONDITIONS,

SUCH AS FIBROMYALGIA, BACK PAIN AND ARTHRITIS.

ABOUT 30% ALSO REPORTED USING AN OPIOID CURRENTLY OR IN THE

PAST SIX MONTHS.

HERE'S WHAT THEY FOUND:

OF THOSE, 841, OR 92%, AGREED OR STRONGLY AGREED WITH THE

STATEMENT THAT THEY PREFERRED CANNABIS OVER OPIOIDS FOR THEIR

CONDITION.

AND FOR YOU TO READ THE REST, WHEN THEY SAY OF THOSE 841,

THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ONES WHO TAKE OPIOIDS AND MARIJUANA.

NIGEL PERCENT SAID THEY PREFERRED CANNABIS.

EXACTLY, AND 93%

AGREED, OR STRONGLY AGREED, THAT THEY WERE MORE LIKELY TO

PICK CANNABIS OVER OPIOIDS IF BOTH WERE READILY AVAILABLE.

NOW, IN SOME STATES THEY ARE READILY AVAILABLE; HOWEVER,

IN OTHER STATES THERE ARE STILL SOME PRETTY RECORDING IN

LAWS AGAINST MARIJUANA POSSESSION, AND OF COURSE

SELLING IT AS WELL.

IT'S AN INTERESTING FINDING.

I GUESS IT'S INTERESTING, IT'S NOT SURPRISING FOR SOMEONE

LIKE ME.

I ACTUALLY DISAGREE, I AM SLIGHTLY SURPRISED.

I DID NOT KNOW THE NUMBERS WERE GOING TO BE THAT LARGE.

YEAH, I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE THAT DRAMATIC.

IT WAS A SELF-SELECTED GROUP, SO OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE ISSUES WITH

THE RESEARCH, BUT A LOT OF THEM ARE TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE

PAIN, THAT'S WHY THEY ARE TAKING OPIOIDS AND MARIJUANA.

THEY ARE SAYING THAT MARIJUANA WORKS MUCH BETTER.

BY THE WAY, NOT ONLY DOES IT WORK MUCH BETTER, BUT THERE

ARE CERTAIN SIDE EFFECTS RELATED TO OPIOIDS THAT I BELIEVE

PEOPLE ARE TURNED OFF BY.

I REMEMBER SEEING THIS COMMERCIAL ABOUT PEOPLE WHO

TAKE OPIOIDS, AND THEY ARE CONSTIPATED, AND THEY NEED

ANOTHER PRESCRIPTION DRUG TO HELP WITH CONSTIPATION.

HERE'S WHAT MARIJUANA DOESN'T DO, IT DOESN'T CONSTIPATE YOU.

IT TURNS OUT THAT MARIJUANA IS THE OPPOSITE OF A GATEWAY DRUG.

OPIOIDS ARE A GATEWAY TO HEROIN, MARIJUANA ACTUALLY STOPS THAT.

AND IN STATES THAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN LEGALIZED, THEY

ACTUALLY SEE OPIOID OVERDOSE IS GOING DOWN, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS.
