Spicer telegraphed the administration won’t take a get-tough approach
against medical marijuana, saying Trump believes in its ability to "comfort"
people suffering from debilitating diseases.

researchers believe medical marijuana could help reduce demand for opioid-
based painkillers. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/320902-white-house-hints-at-crackdown-on-recreational-marijuana
