2. Un informe de 2018 concluyó que la legalización del cannabis medicinal se asoció con un 30% reducción de las recetas de Medicaid (programa federal y estatal de EE. UU. que ayuda a cubrir los gastos médicos de algunas personas con recursos limitados) de opioides de la Lista III y ninguno de la Lista II.
Otro informe de 2018 atribuyó las reducciones en la prescripción de opioides a la participación de Medicare en las leyes sobre cannabis medicinal, especialmente en los estados que dispensan marihuana de forma legal.
Una revisión posterior concluyó que estos datos eran convincentes y justificaban una mayor exploración del cannabis como tratamiento complementario o alternativo para el trastorno provocado por el uso de opioides.
3. Este tercer trabajo opina que la cantidad de dispensarios de marihuana ubicadas en los estados y el distrito de Washington que legalizaron la marihuana estaba inversamente correlacionada con las tasas locales de mortalidad por opioides. Es decir, cuanto más tiendas expendedoras de marihuana, menor tasa de mortalidad por opioides.
