While there is increasing evidence that medical marijuana could be a viable alternative to opioids in terms of pain management, a new report (http://www.marijuana.com/blog/news/2016/05/prohibitionists-block-marijuana-studies-and-cbd-for-kids/) indicates that Congress is still **t prepared to give the scientific community the green light to dig any deeper into this progressive concept
Earlier last week, the U.S. House Rules Committee voted against two proposed amendments that would have required a special pain management task force to consider how weed might be used as an alternative or in conjunction with prescription painkillers.
