Should Physicians Recommend Replacing Opioids With Cannabis?, Keith Humphreys, Richard Saitz, 2019

Should Physicians Recommend Replacing Opioids With Cannabis? Keith Humphreys PhD, Richard Saitz, MD, MPH JAMA, 2019, 321, 7, 639-640. doi : 10.1001/jama.2019.0077 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2723649 Recent state regulations (eg, in New York, Illinois) allow medical cannabis as a substitute for opioids for chronic pain and for addiction.
