Coffee & Controversy: Medical Marijuana vs. Opioids
On October 26, We will explore the role medical marijuana has in the treatment of pain, the advantages over opioids, current policies and how it helps or hinders medicinal advancement. In addition, while laws may be cut and dry for employers, is it for patients who rely on the benefits of cannabis to help with pain? If it were a pill prescribed by a primary care doctor, would it be treated differently? How are employers truly approaching the subject?
