This quote from the article indicates the opposite effect, actually! I'd like to see the study that concluded this, but it's an easy statement for me to believe.

> "As for connecting marijuana to the legal opioid crisis, Spicer has it exactly backwards. Greater access to marijuana has actually led to declines in opioid use, overdoses and other problems."

Yeah I saw that. So I'm confused on where he's getting this idea, since as far as I'm aware of current research...the trend is the opposite.

He doesn't listen to experts or research. Instead, he uses common sense.

“So really,” continued Eric, “I should be saying sorry to you, for jumping to the wrong conclusion. Instead of considering all the evidence, I just applied some common sense—otherwise known as prejudice—and came up with a totally wrong answer.”
