New research in JAMA Internal Medicine (formerly Archives of Internal Medicine) finds a 24.8% reduction in annual opiate overdose mortality in states that allow physicians to prescribe cannabis for pain. The nontrivial improvement in so concrete a metric as mortality represents an interesting fact in the discussion of cannabis regulation. The association of prescription availability of cannabis with the mortality reduction strengthened over time.
