How Medical Marijuana Could End the U.S. Opioid Crisis

The United States is facing an absolutely devastating opioid crisis.

As of September 2017, more than 2 million Americans are dependent on prescription pain pills like opiates, according to CNN.

The number of opioid-related deaths rose 75%, from roughly 20,000 in 2010 to 35,000 in 2015. That means opioid-based drugs kill more than 100 Americans every day.
