    In #Ohio today, I spoke about the importance of treating addiction as a medical challenge rather than a moral failing, as well as our support for medication-assisted treatment.pic.twitter.com/xvGrXkDIFy

        You’re responsible for this. Marijuana can fix so many things. Enjoy your big house that pharmaceuticals pay for

        also peddled stale notions of medical #cannabis & allow your beliefs to cloud the evidence. any intermediary alt to opiates for chronic pain is valuable, esp if nonlethal. the notion that a "safe" opiate can be synthesized is pharma myth. reconsider your position, join majority

        Put your money where your mouth is sir, and push for decriminalization of drugs. All of them.

        And completely deregulate marijuana. It has no lethal dose. It’s safer than table salt. It should be available in the bulk aisle of the health food store.

        Just so I understand you correctly: you want me to stop taking a medication that has no lethal dose & keeps me from having to increase my opiate-based pain medications, so that I can take YET another pill that has more & stronger side effects than cannabis? why? #Ableism #a11y

        No, the doctors put the pills in the persons hand and said, here this will help you. The pharmaceutical companies flooded towns and cities across the u.s.a with pills and paid doctor's off...

        Medical Marijuana does exist, NIH has a patent on CBD a derivative of Cannabis as a neuroprotectant. If it does not exist, how did they acquire a patent. STOP LYING TO AMERICANS, DAM SNOWFLAKES. GOD GAVE US CANNABIS AND MAN MADE PILLS THAT KILL US. I TRUST GOD OVER YOU ANYDAY.

        Of course you want medication-assisted treatment so you can continue to pad the pockets of pharmaceutical big wigs incuding, I bet, yourself.
