This isn't from the legal product.


"Those products on the dispensary menus likely won’t be quite that strong."


I am against marijuana usage, but come on...

Now they are filling up, smelling up, Massachusetts hospitals and ER rooms with Marijuana medical issues along side with Mass children and teens in gurneys with marijuana medical issues

Shifting the Drug problem from one drug to another drug does not mean reducing and solving a drug problem.

Heroin and painkillers directly kills tens of thousands of people every year due to overdoses. POT on the other hand directly kills no one.

I don't think there is any addiction councilor or doctor that believes that POT is worse then heroin or fentanyl.

Since i read that article, i have lost confidence in all Mass hospitals and will avoid them.
Who wants doctors possibly intoxicated from second hand marijuana smoke opening you up.

These nearby out of state hospitals have excellent reputations:
Miriam Hospital in Rhode Island
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center,St. Joseph Hospital,Exeter Hospital in New Hampshire.
