Contrary to opioids, a cannabis overdose
cannot kill you because there are no
cannabinoid receptors in your brain stem, the
region of your brain that controls your
heartbeat and respiration.
What’s more, marijuana has been shown to
ease withdrawal symptoms in those trying to
wean off opioids, which are extremely
addictive.
In states where medical marijuana is legal,
overdose deaths from opioids decreased by an
average of 20 percent after one year, 25
percent after two years and up to 33 percent
by years five and six.
