States with Legal Medical Cannabis Have Seen a 25%

Decrease in Prescription Painkiller Overdose Deaths

By: Rebecca Kelley8/25/2014

A study that was published today in JAMA Internal Medicine has found that in the 13 states that legalized the use of medical cannabis between 1999 and 2010, there was a reduction in deaths by overdosing on prescription painkillers by an astounding 25%. According to Newsweek, prescription pain medicine overdose deaths have increased threefold since 1991. In the United States alone, 46 people die from a prescription painkiller overdose every day.

The study's co-author, Colleen Barry, said the decline was noticeable as quickly as one year after each state debuted its medical marijuana program. For those of us who are familiar with medical marijuana's benefits, the decrease isn't terribly surprising -- when patients have legal access to medical cannabis and find relief in its abilities to help manage pain, they're less likely to rely on prescription opiates and can either forgo them entirely or use a much lower dosage than they previously felt was necessary. 

However, the study has attracted a number of critics who point out that medical cannabis isn't commonly prescribed for chronic pain, and that the results may be due to states cracking down on doctors over-prescribing opiate medications to patients. Furthermore, states that are more likely to legalize medical cannabis may also have more progressive laws to treat addiction and can thus lower overdose death rates through a multitude of routes. 

One thing we can all agree upon is that medical cannabis hasn't led to an increase in prescription painkiller overdose deaths, so whether or not it actually contributed to a 25% decrease in legal medical marijuana states, it hasn't hurt, either.
