Great news for Tennessee kids-- THCA and other hemp-derived THC products are coming off the shelves. Easily available at gas stations with no regulations, age restrictions, or safety testing, kids can easily be roped into this Wild West market through youth-appealing packaging and flavors.

Myth: “It’s legal for adults, so it must be safe.”
Fact: Colorado’s official warning highlights serious potential harms from high-THC concentrates, especially for teens and young adults. Parents deserve clear, science-based information to safeguard their kids.

Brains continue to develop into the mid-20s.
Consuming high-THC products can interfere with attention, learning, motivation, and mental health—especially with frequent use. This isn’t about blame. It’s about getting the facts and understanding why potency matters.

@denverwestword quotes One Chance Executive Director Henny Lasley on the withdrawal of SB26-164:

“Youth normalization of marijuana use is already an ongoing problem, the Colorado Senate Finance Committee did the right thing today by accepting the request to kill the bill."

One Chance to Grow Up is thanking the sponsors of Colorado Senate Bill 26-161, the Modernize Regulation of Cannabis-Related Products Bill, for introducing the bill for consideration to the General Assembly:

One Chance Co-Founder @CORachelOBryan just testified before the Colorado State Senate Finance committee in opposition to SB26-164, the THC Beverage Bill, on the grounds that this would exacerbate marijuana normalization with youth.

"While this lower schedule for medical marijuana will open up more availability for research, we need to be sure any conversation about marijuana fully involves the harmful effects it can have on kids."

One Chance to Grow Up is stressing the need for strong youth marijuana safeguards and education after state-licensed medical marijuana was federally reclassified from Schedule I to Schedule III today: https://t.co/IBRtWbpDYN

“States and federal policymakers must understand the impacts rescheduling and legalization have on the normalization among kids, who may perceive it as a wellness product,” stated One Chance Executive Director Henny Lasley.

[Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton]

Marijuana today is much more potent than just ten or twenty years ago, leading to increased psychosis, anti-social behavior, and fatal car crashes. Arkansans don’t want more dangerous drugs obtained more easily. A change to marijuana’s drug classification is a step in the wrong direction.

One Chance's @CORachelOBryan in @DenverChannel: "[SB26-164] will bring [marijuana] front and center, in front of kids...These bars and restaurants and these convenience stores are located all over the state and close to schools."

Colorado SB26-164 would blow the legal marijuana market wide open and undermine youth safeguards and local control by allowing THC beverages to be sold in restaurants, gas stations, any anywhere else alcohol is sold. This bill would once again put profits over youth protections.

420 festivals should not allow kids or teenagers to attend. We've put together a toolkit advocates can use to secure age restrictions at events in their local communities based on our framework that successfully secured a 21+ age limit at Denver's 420 event.

[One Chance to Grow Up @1Chance2GrowUp]

.@DenverGazette is right. Allowing hemp-derived THC beverages at restaurants, gas stations, and so on increases exponentially the number of retail locations (where kids are likely to be present) where THC can be sold beyond age-gated dispensaries.

Today’s marijuana isn’t what many adults remember. Vapes, dabs, and wax can deliver very high levels of THC—sometimes 90% or more. These products can increase risks like psychosis, severe vomiting (CHS), dependence, and possible opioid misuse later in life, especially when consumed by teens and young adults. 👉 Get the facts: https://t.co/rzlRWIz3pg
