Medical Marijuana vs. Opioids for Pain Relief

America is a nation is wracked with pain! Studies show we take up to 8 times as many painkillers as the Europeans, yet Americans suffer chronic pain at roughly the same rate. Unless you live under a rock, the news about opioid painkillers is that they are extremely potent, unhealthy and very addictive. We’re in an opioid crisis with hundreds of overdoses occuring every single day! This is a sobering statistic and it seems illogical and incredible that marijuana, with a far lower rate of addition still remains federally illegal. Thankfully, medical marijuana is now legal in 33 states. If you’re one of the millions of people suffering from chronic pain a Cannabis doctor in Boca Raton could be your solution to providing pain management and relief.

A second study also reported improved sleep quality, less depression and reduced anxiety levels. The patients also were able to reduce or eliminate their use of prescription medications.
