- Grateful for @FoxNews publishing my piece today on drug policy reform: Four important ways Trump can tackle the drug crisis and Make America Healthy Again @SaraCarterDC foxnews.com/opinion/four-i… #FoxNews
- The Rate Of Teen Suicide In Colorado Increased By 58% In 3 Years, Making It The Cause Of 1 In 5 Adolescent Deaths But yeah.. pot legalization has been awesome.
- Let's bust some pot myths everyone! 1) 95-97% of people who use heroin/cocaine started with pot. 2) Most kids get pot for free from friends/fam - not from some shady gang member. 3) Most people who us pot also abuse alcohol - they're complements, not substitutes. What else??
- My piece against the legalization of all drugs in the @washingtonpost today: “when drugs are legal, their price plummets, availability soars, and the commercialization and industrialization machines take hold. It’s a recipe for incredible damage.
- The next time someone says "drug laws don't work," show them this:
- In today's version of "What the Pot Lobby Won't Tell You" NEW STUDY: "A large number of young people who could develop depression and suicidality attributable to cannabis..." Significant increases depression, suicidal ideation and attempts.
- My response to anyone who wants to legalize drugs: Legalize it in your own family first. Then tell us how it goes.
- *1 in 4* young Canadians drove high or got into a car with someone who was stoned. I get how legalization helps the shareholders of pot companies, but please don’t delude yourself into thinking it helps young people one bit.
- Remember when they said no one has died from marijuana? Tell that to the family of this 11-day-old who died due to acute marijuana toxicity Newborn’s Death Linked to Acute Marijuana Toxicity
- Cannabis use by young people may be tied to depression and anxiety, CAMH study finds “...we thought we'd find a reduction... and quite to the contrary we found an increase." thestar.com/news/canada/20… via @torontostar
- Mike Bloomberg today: Pot legalization “doesn’t make any sense at all.” “To make it easier for people to engage in a behavior that has a significant possibility of damaging people’s health is just nonsensical..." macleans.ca/news/michael-b… YES! Thank you @MikeBloomberg
- If you read one article on marijuana policy this year, it should be this one in today’s @TheAtlantic
- Today we celebrate One Nation Under God & a good day to buy One Nation Under The Influence! amazon.com/One-Nation-Und…
