Not blowing smoke: Research finds medical marijuana lowers prescription drug use
July 6, 2016

Athens, Ga. - Medical marijuana is having a positive impact on the bottom line of Medicare's prescription drug benefit program in states that have legalized its use for medicinal purposes, according to University of Georgia researchers in a study published today in the July issue of Health Affairs.


The savings, due to lower prescription drug use, were estimated to be $165.2 million in 2013, a year when 17 states and the District of Columbia had implemented medical marijuana laws. The results suggest that if all states had implemented medical marijuana the overall savings to Medicare would have been around $468 million.

2. I still wouldn't allow anyone under 18 or 21 to use it.

Regulate it just like alcohol and tobacco.
