        We are in the midst of an OPIOID epidemic. Not a marijuana epidemic. In fact, with legalization of marijuana in some states there has been a drop-off in opioid prescriptions because of its effectiveness in treating some chronic pain.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/add.14382 …

        I find the timing of this announcement puzzling given the recent news regarding the decision against Johnson & Johnson and the politicization of the message by the man in the video praising Trump & his administration could be polarizing, diluting the public health message

        Actually..lack of healthcare (preventative & ongoing) is the greatest threat to children! Your pretty speech (lie) is a distraction from the GOP taking away access to healthcare for our most vulnerable citizens.https://www.protectourcare.org/shameful-effects-of-president-trumps-anti-health-care-agenda-on-full-display-as-860000-kids-lose-coverage/ …

        Get with the times. The biggest risk of cannabis is still being arrested. Cannabis prohibition is all based in ignorance and racism. Time to end the ban and accept the cannabis plant as part of our culture.

        Guns, e-cigarettes, climate change, air pollution...all demonstrably more dangerous for our childrens' future than marijuana.

        I’d rather hear about the effects of gun violence, Roundup, lack of adequate healthcare, and childhood effects of trauma to the children the trump admin has locked up in cages. K? Thanks.
