You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Jeez, you guys, I'm editing an article about the rate of overdose deaths due to opioids in states that have medical marijuana laws, compared to states that don't have medical marijuana laws. I thought there'd be a little difference, but the rate of opioid overdose-related deaths in states with medical marijuana laws is a full 25% lower. That's pretty amazing.

Interesting, Steph. I know marijuana crime rates have dropped significantly, along with the general crime rate, since recreational mj was legalized here.

I would worry about a third variable, that states with enlightened medical policies regarding marijuana would be more likely to have enlightened policies toward other drugs.
But I suppose that a good portion of the Discussion section is spent on that issue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, that is something. I imagine many many people who use opioids are self-medicating for one thing or another, huh.

The article was about overdose deaths from prescribed opioid painkillers. I'm not sure what kind of enlightened policy could exist about that. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

The article used data only on people with prescriptions, though it's obviously extremely possible to find a doctor who will write a prescription for opioids without too much diagnosing going on.
My dad has a lot of chronic pain, and takes a staggering amount of opioids. I'm not criticizing, because undertreated/untreated pain management is a legit problem in the medical field, and I'm glad he gets the medication he needs. But really, the amount of oxycodone he takes in one dose -- even though it's prescribed by his doctor -- is a little scary. If Ohio had a medical marijuana law, maybe he could cut back on the meds.
