With the growing emergence of healthcare technology, it's interesting to see how companies such as Amazon are entering and interacting with this space. One of my favorite aspects about Amazon is how it offers more reasonable prices and it's also a lot more convenient. It would be interesting if Amazon sold prescription drugs, though it would definitely change the current market and channel set up.

    Sanjay Gupta: Medical marijauna can treat opioid addiction

    CNN contributor and science guru Dr. Sanjay Gupta did a special segment on Sunday, "Weed 4: Pot vs. Pills," detailing the medicinal benefits of cannabis, particularly as it pertains to avoiding and treating addition to opiate-based painkillers. In it, he speaks to drug abusers who use weed to combat their addiction. One football player even said that marijuana being a gateway drug was a myth. In the linked article, Sanjay describes how using prescribed opiates to reduce pain can become "a vicious cycle." Do you think marijuana can, or should, be used to solve the opiate epidemic?
