After spending a year as a drug counselor. I have to commend Governor Rauner for expanding the use of Marijuana to counter the use of Opioids as a painkiller. This will save thousands of lives. Many of my patients became addicted through Opioid prescription. Some from back injuries . Many turned to Heroin and street Opioids for their addiction
When Doctors discontinued use. Full recreational use could cut deaths from overdose by at least 25% over the next decade. Over 5,000 people are dying every month. This is aside from the 10,000 people who are saved by friends and first resonders.
