This is reported as doses rather than %s to make it seem significant. 1,826 doses/year = 5 doses/day = 1-2 patient-years. Basically zero.https://twitter.com/JamieJBartlett/status/779015819963621376 …

1-2 patient years of painkillers per doctor per year. I dunno, it's not nothing.
here's the actual study http://www.ouramazingworld.org/uploads/4/3/8/6/43860587/bradford2016.pdf … - agree it's odd to report it this way, but it's a ~10% drop!pic.twitter.com/L0l0bC0BCj

Ah, it's *daily* doses, not doses. Yeah, that is significant. OTOH legal vs. illegal states is the wrong comparison...

...since it's heartland states with the opiate problem, mostly, & blue states legalizing. But looks like they covered that.
