Why won’t the Feds legalize? The US could save $500,000,000 annually just in prescription drug costs if medical marijuana was legal, and that’s just the Medicare Part D costs.
Extrapolated to all US prescription costs not just Part D (disabled and retired), the annual savings is almost $4 billion, 1.1% of prescription drug expenditures.
With this 2016 study, expect FDA to step up obstacles to protect its Big Pharma patrons.
