In announcing their appointments on Wednesday, Boehner and Weld expressed hope that increasing access to medical marijuana use could bolster health care remedies for veterans. The pair of former politicians in a joint statement questioned the Department of Veterans Affairs’ refusal to offer the drug “as an alternative to the harmful opioids that are ravishing our communities.”

Ryan announces he's quitting. Boehner buddies up to blunts. What a time to be alive!

I can understand the use. Ravishing is to forcefully take away something. AKA we're losing them to drugs. Ravage is probably better, but the former still works.
