The therapeutic potential of marijuana is great, and patients need safe, high-quality medicine without fear of arrest. Opposing medical marijuana is blocking access to this safe and less-addictive alternative to opiates. The government says that the risks outweigh the benefits, but if patients are pushed towards opiates, their risks actually go up, due to addiction and dangers of overdose. Cannabis is safe and provides relief to those who are untreatable by conventional means.
