Between 2019 and 2022 there has been a nearly sixfold increase in calls for marijuana related to children and teens 19 or younger and a ninefold increase among those five or younger. We must tackle the cannabis crisis that is poisoning our youth.

Racial disparities in ownership of CO MJ businesses are still strong. Only 2.8% of owners are black, while 83.4% are white. This industry wasn’t built for diversity, it was built for profit.

A meta-analysis of 17 studies involving 200K kids in US / Canada found THC vaping is going way, way up. (for ex, from 2017 to 2020, past 12-month use nearly doubled).
I wonder what those two countries have allowed for this to happen...

Our EVP @LukeNiforatos's latest in the @csgazette:
"Fighting addiction promotes public health and public safety, and our marijuana policies should not be ignored when it comes to addressing Colorado’s crime wave."

@RunPax11 @KyleClark Kyle never set goalposts. He said the idea of it is irrational and that it has never happened. He’s upset because there’s a major article about it happening. Didn’t realize the geographic location mattered to the point of whether something happens or not…
@RunPax11 @KyleClark Wrong. He said it is “irrational” and that it has never happened. Didn’t realize the geographic location (the only other nation with legal weed) disqualifies the “rationality” of the risk…
@KyleClark So, in spite of this happening, for real, and a criminal case resulting from it - you still think this precaution is “irrational”? Where and how many times should something happen before it is rational enough for news coverage?
@KyleClark And with your thousands of followers it’s unreal you even bother to reply. What is it about parents watching for weed edibles that lights your fires?
@KyleClark To recap, your point in the past has been that no one has ever done this.
You were wrong.
& you’re being disrespectful about it instead of just owning it, and that’s disappointing for anybody who believed what you said your show was going to be about from day one.
.@KyleClark you seemed to think this sort of thing has never happened last year. Care to comment on Halloween/weed edibles now?

Today, a bill seeking to implement much-needed public health guardrails, promote public health, and reign in a marijuana industry that has been allowed to run free was officially unveiled in Colorado.
@LukeNiforatos: "(If these provisions are passed) we’re going to look back 10 years from now and say, 'Wow, that was like the days when we had cigarettes on airplanes,' and its just crazy to allow these sort of things to happen." https://t.co/xljWWNqjjl
