"I recommend everybody have naloxone in their households and their cars in case they encounter someone who’s recently overdosed. ” - Dr. Justine Welsh, Director of Addiction Services at Emory Healthcare. Read the story here -->

During an opioid overdose, a person experiences slower breathing or stops breathing altogether. Naloxone can swiftly reverse this effect, restoring regular breathing and potentially saving a life. #WellnessWednesday

As opioids continue to devastate communities in our state, I'm encouraged by the proactive approach local organizations and leaders are taking to give Arkansans tools to respond and hopefully save lives.

[Attorney General Tim Griffin @AGTimGriffin]

Arkansans have a new tool to help stop the opioid epidemic. Download the ReviveAR App from @OpiRecoverAR today to access to opioid prevention, treatment, and recovery resources.

Fighting the opioid epidemic in Arkansas is a team effort. Thank you to @ARMuniLeague, @75arcounties and the State Drug Director for their work. https://t.co/nbNm9ZLGho #arnews

Learning that Bob Brooks had passed away was like a punch in the gut. Bob was an incredible man. He had so many admirable qualities - talented, trustworthy, professional, reliable, kind, and so much more. He loved Arkansas, and he will be missed tremendously. #arpx

[Senator John Boozman @JohnBoozman]

I’m proud to join @SenTomCotton and @Rep_SteveWomck to introduce legislation to protect consumers from toxin-laced poppy seeds. The bill is named in honor of Arkansan Stephen Hacala Jr. who died from morphine intoxication caused by morphine-laced poppy seeds purchased on Amazon.

Thank you @GMA and @bworley for sharing our story of how we turned our pain into purpose. #JustSayKnow #TheNewDrugTalk #SongforCharlie #OnePillCanKill

NEW STUDY SHOWS NO EVIDENCE MARIJUANA REDUCES ILLICIT OPIOID USE

20-Year Australian Study Found Marijuana May Not Be an Effective Long-Term Method of Reducing Harm for Those with an Opioid Use Disorder

Statement from SAM President Dr. @KevinSabet

[Attorney General Tim Griffin @AGTimGriffin]

.@SenTomCotton @JohnBoozman @rep_stevewomack & @SenBlumenthal recently introduced legislation that will prohibit the sale of poppy seeds that contain a harmful level of opiates and require the @US_FDA to issue regulations to guard against this unnecessary danger. This bill, titled the Stephen Hacala Poppy Seed Safety Act, is named for a young Arkansan who died because of a dangerous gap in federal law. I applaud our Arkansas delegation for leading on this issue to protect Arkansans and all Americans from falling victim to dangerous toxin-laced poppy seeds sold online. #arnews

Vapes are weapons destroying our children’s health. The American government has failed our families. All they had to do was ban the flavors drug predators put in these weapons that deliver chemicals assaults to the brain. If the vapes didn’t contain sugary flavors , kids would spit them out because they taste foul.

Do you think I speak too harsh? Then stop following me.

He’s right.

[Parents Opposed to Pot @PoppotGroup]

Sadly, tragedies like these speak for themselves. Legalization will not keep dangerous stoned drivers off the road!
