Interestingly, in the US, legal cannabis prices are usually more than double those on the black market because they’re taxed extremely heavily.

Granted, users of cannabis aren’t* usually as captive as those on opioids, but the issue remains that legality may not provide the price change desired.

Gonna need a source for that one, chief.

I can sleep off a weed craving, that’s telling your mind no more slight dopamine boost. Can’t really ignore your body the same way when it’s going through opioid withdrawals because all of your chemicals are out of whack.

That was a typo, thanks for the catch! That’s exactly the point I was trying to make.
