States With Legal Medical Marijuana See ‘Significant And Sizable’ Reductions In Health Insurance Premiums, Study Finds

[The5thHorseman]

A new study in the International Journal of Drug Policy found that states with legal medical marijuana enjoyed significant reductions in health insurance premiums compared to states where cannabis remained completely illegal.
Analyzing a decade’s worth of private health insurance data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, researchers determined that in the years following a state’s implementation of a medical cannabis law, premiums dropped dramatically

Consider the enormous opportunity loss resulting from marijuana prohibition.
People's lives destroyed over superstition.

Science determined that this policy was entirely irrational DECADES ago.

I'd say there are some reparations in order.

They really didn't explain why this is the case. Even in states with a total pot ban you can still get pot fairly easy.

LOL. That's because when you are stoned you are too stupid to know you need medical care. Something hurts, just smoke some weed, no need to go to the doctor. And when it starts hurting again, just smoke some more weed. You seem to ignore all of the studies coming out which show that weed actually does more harm than good.

Do you believe this is how insurance companies price premiums?

Btw, how many prescriptions are you on?

Seems sort of obvious doesn't it?

Not allowing at least medical weed is really regressive, stupid, an ignorant. Those same extremist wackos who clamor against medical weed are the same ones who would DENY even a person in constant pain a chance for a little reprieve from that pain. They promote the suffering.

How stupid are you? The less medical care given, the cheaper the costs to insurance companies, which allows them to provide cheaper insurance rates, all due to people being stoned out of their ass.

There is no such thing as medical weed. Once you open that door, everyone's got back pain. I'm not against medical weed but it would have to be strictly enforced. Hell, we have a major pain pill and overdose problem all across the US because you can find a pain clinic anywhere and just complain about back pain and get a prescription. Medical MJ is a farce because it is still available to anyone who wants it.

Yup - pot is an INCREDIBLY dangerous and addictive drug, and its legalization’s negative impacts just beginning to be understood.

But not by deranged pot pimps/addicts of course.

Recognizing you have a problem…

But yeah, the OP is pot pimp garbage; alleged correlation is not causation.
