[QUOTE="OKRuss, post: 3978853, member: 41777"] EXACTLY! If the states legalizing MMJ restricted it to those truly in need of it, there wouldn't be enough of a revenue/tax stream for it to be worth their effort. If I recall when I was in CO, the % of MMJ "patients" with a card and a "legitimate" illness was around 5%(cancer, glaucoma, migraines). These are documentable conditions. The other 95% was for "pain management" which is very difficult to quantify especially when MMJ doctors don't even ask for medical records or proof of what's causing said pain. That said, I am very much in favor of those who are taking opioids to be given an alternative. It might be trading one addiction for another but I do feel one is much less impactful on the patient than the other. As for recreational MMJ, that's just a money grab plain and simple. [/QUOTE]
