Alcohol vs marijuana

I know a few folks that could benefit from CBD OIL, if true. They can't sit still for a minute and it makes you want to slap 'em!

Not without some type of federal legislative action...
...I'm curious...in states with medical mj...does insurance cover the cost?...if not is it deductible (like other prescribed meds) from income tax?

Of course it about money (Doh, it's never been about anything else)...it's the reason states are sanctioning it...and the feds are going to want their cut which will only help the black market...

I do not believe insurance covers the cost of medical MJ. in any state. Insurance companies probably have not figured out a way to jack up the prices yet to make it worth the effort. And yes.....you're correct.......it's about the money.

Why would an insurance carrier Jack up the prices? They are the payor, not the payee.

If big pharmacy got on board, they would be jacking the prices.

Insurance likes high cost, they make a percentage of cost

I know that some of the life insurance companies have changed their underwriting rules regarding MJ usage. It used to be a an automatic decline, but not any more.

That's not true.

I got pulled over in a spot check yesterday and was asked about booze and dope (MJ). That was a first for me. I have never been asked about smoking dope before.

Spot checks are illegal in America, you need probable cause.

Not sure about the high costs comments but.........insurance companies make a ton of money........they are in cahoots with the drug companies........they're both rich.......they don't look out for you...just them.
