University of Iowa’s Dr. Brian Kaskie: 3 Out Of 4 Medical Cannabis Users Never Used Cannabis Before, Debunking Concerns About Medical Marijuana Program Being Used By The Unholy “Pothead”

I’m watching today’s Iowa Medical Cannabidiol board meeting, and an interesting graphic just popped up on the screen during Dr. Brian Kaskie’s presentation that shows that the Illinois medical cannabis program is not being used by potheads or stoner stereotypes.

Instead, in Illinois, 3 out of 4 legal medical cannabis patients never used cannabis before. I’ll find a graphic or source for the stats when I rewatch today’s meeting later.

This should be a sure sign to moms and politicians that medical cannabis laws are not being created for an excuse to get high but are helping people who actually benefit from this miracle plant.

So yet again, another WeedPress prediction comes true: medical cannabis laws are frequented by wealthier people first and foremost, most of whom would have never even tried cannabis before because for the majority of Americans, following the law on a regular basis is a top priority!

There’s a really good Forbes interview with Dr. Kaskie, who works at the University of Iowa as lead of a Cannabis and Older Persons Study. Read about the study, and Dr. Kaskie’s work, here in Forbes.
