Just what I see around me every day.... Fentanyl and other opioids are the problem... Thing is most opioid users also smoke pot so....There's no 'massaging'? It's simply the stats. What makes you say definitively weed is NOT one of the contributing factors? And are you suggesting that alcohol use has gone up equally as much as marijuana use since marijuana was legalized? What are you basing that on? I know you live there (only post legalization I assume) so perhaps you have some added info. When it comes to issues like this I tend to be data driven. Like Ross Perot, I'm all ears......
