HealthDay (1/16, Thompson ) reports there is “no link at all between weed use and a person’s use of illicit opioids, one way or the other, a new review concludes.” The research found that cannabis is not “a gateway drug that can spark a person’s desire to try narcotics.” The study also found marijuana is not “effective in helping wean” people with substance use disorder off opioids. The findings were published in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse.
