As America's opioid crisis continues to get worse, a new report says that people dying from overdoses has overtaken another common cause of death for many Americans.

The National Safety Council says that death by opioid overdose is now a more likely cause of death for Americans than dying in a car accident. They say Americans have a 1 in 96 chance to die from opioid overdose, compared to 1 in 103 for car accidents. Opioid overdoses are now a more likely cause of death than guns, drowning and accidental falls. According to statistics, more than 130 Americans die from opioid overdoses every day. As people try to figure out how to deal with chronic pain, they are trying cannabis in record numbers to avoid the addiction to pain medications, it is the safe natural alternative choice and could just heal something that is ailing you. It is also being used to help those already addicted to come off the horrible side effects from the drug and to maintain some normalcy until healed. This miracle plant has come a long way.
