Maryland lawmaker proposes bill to combat opioid addiction with medical marijuana
A Maryland lawmaker wants to curb the state’s opioid crisis with the help of medical marijuana.
Delegate Cheryl Glenn, D-Baltimore City, has pre-filed a bill in the statehouse that would allow doctors to recommend cannabis therapy to patients who are dealing with opioid abuse and addiction.
Glenn said the measure looks to improve upon Maryland’s existing medical cannabis program.
“We all understand the problems that exist right now with opioid abuse issues,” she said.
