Being in medicine, this means a LOT to me. I'm scared sh*tless every time I have to go in for a drug test.

From the article:

"A 2014 report published in JAMA Internal Medicine provides some evidence that fewer people are dying from opioid overdoses in states that have legalized medical marijuana. The study found nearly a 25% reduction in prescription painkiller deaths in states where marijuana is a legal treatment option. However, this information was not cited in the CDC guidelines."
