A newly released study; Doucette, M.L., Hemraj, D., Macfarlan, D.L. et al. The Cost Effectiveness of Adjunctive Medical Cannabis Therapy in the Treatment of Moderate Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Clin Drug Investig (2025) suggests that Medical cannabis products, particularly non-flower formulations, represent a cost-effective adjunctive therapy for moderate PTSD under various reimbursement scenarios. This analysis underscores the importance of evidence-based reimbursement policies to improve patient access to cost-effective treatments while ensuring financial sustainability for payors.
The new study says of non-flower products, findings suggest policymakers may want to “prioritize reimbursement policies that that support these cost-effective options while recognizing the limited cost effectiveness of dried flower under certain conditions.”
“This study finds the dried flower is likely less cost effective compared to other medical cannabis products,” it says. “While medical patients may have preferences towards using dried flower, from a payor perspective, it may not make sense to reimburse for all types of medical cannabis products. Evidence here, combined with existing body of literature examining the impact of smoke inhalation on lungs, suggests payors may reduce some of the negative harms and promote some of the positive benefits from medical cannabis through strategic reimbursement strategies that are cost effective, largely safe, and likely efficacious.”
This compliments a finding from last month in a study that concluded that state-level medical marijuana legalization appeared to significantly reduce health insurance costs. In states with legal medical cannabis, companies paid 3.4 percent less for health insurance premiums compared to where marijuana remained illegal—a savings of about $238 per employee per year.
Per the various findings if all states were to implement medical cannabis programs, that study said, the country could save an estimated $29 billion in health insurance costs annually.
The only thing I have been able to confirm as true is that Donald J. Trump is POTUS.

It’s honestly disappointing to watch grown adults, elected to serve the public, behave like cliques in a high school hallway.
Since the very beginning of this country as an independent nation, we have had an ever increasing concern and public assistance for the poor and down trodden. Which has since evolved in to a multi-trillion dollar industry (yes, it's an industry) of social welfare systems, until today we have reached a point where
This is hardly a story, both party's include unrelated amendments to bills all the time, just to see if anyone's paying attention.
There will most likely be a sell off of some federal lands in the near future.

as should always be the case, we should be thankful for the folks who answer the call and suit-up and do the hot - hard - and dangerous work of fighting these fires.
The negotiated cease fire is no reason to let our guard down, as Israel has already accused Iran of violating that cease fire just hours after it took effect.
I believe it's still a high probability for terrorism to occur with, or without Iran's blessing.
It's becoming more and more clear that the worst thing you can do for the environment is to listen to environmentalists.
