Smart Approaches to Marijuana Vermont

SAM-VT is a statewide coalition of VTers agree marijuana legalization poses a threat to our health, economy, youth, education, highway safety and work force.

[Addiction Journal @AddictionJrnl]

Among US adults with problem substance use who use non‐medical opioids, the odds of opioid use appear to be approximately doubled on days when cannabis is used

If you don't want to believe US marijuana research on the clear THC-psychosis link, don't.

But what about work done in London, Amsterdam, and Paris?

[Kevin Sabet @KevinSabet]

Ya'll know that legal doesn't really mean regulated, right?

@Blondewndrwmn Educating and giving information about cannabis is very important! People need to be more informed about the mental and physical concerns of use. However getting into bed w/ predatory Big Marijuana on the unfulfilled promise of $ for education will only benefit Big Marijuana.

Bill S.54 will allow marijuana to be sold and advertised in VT communities. The last thing VT needs right now is another #publichealthcrisis. Call Gov. Scott today and urge him to VETO this bill! #brainsmatter

[Justice For All @Justice4AllVT]

S.54 IS systemically RACIST. All of our efforts to communicate this have been overshadowed by lobbyists. Best Effort would have involved a report from the Marijuana Commission, as they provided on Tax and reg, education and public safety

We're proud to stand with social justice orgs like @Justice4AllVT & others in opposing legalization in Vermont-which,as a Dem senator said, "...is bad for municipalities... bad for farmers. I believe Justice for All (it) exacerbates racial inequity and I vote no." @GovPhilScott

Can we please stop pretending there is some bright line between“legal” and “underground” markets?

MA is suing JUUL for marketing their nicotine product to teens and creating the youth vaping epidemic in the US. Cannabis companies are creating the next youth cannabis epidemic. Who will be the first to sue them?

[AG Maura Healey Archived @AGHealeyArchive]

I made a commitment to parents and teens to hold e-cigarette companies accountable. Today, we have uncovered new info about how JUUL targeted and sold its addictive products to kids.

This company created the youth vaping epidemic. They cannot profit from it. We are suing JUUL.

Mass. law said marijuana taxes would help police and communities harmed most by the war on drugs. That hasn’t happened https://t.co/AseCF7Z1Mw

That's what we thought! When given more than one option, Vermonter do NOT want commercial marijuana sales in our state! #vtpoli #failedexperiment #NOonS54

🚨🚨🚨

BREAKING: According to a new poll conducted by Emerson College, 70 percent of Vermont voters oppose the commercialization and taxation of marijuana.

Why is Marijuana Dangerous? Thank you, Dr. Rettew, for educating Vermonters and standing up for public health in safety for people of all ages. @pedipsych @GovPhilScott @VTHouseDems @HouseGOP @VTHealthBlog @VTHealthEd @VtPolitics @VTPoliNews @MitziJohnsonVT #psychosis #suicide

"When I hear my colleagues pushing for legalization “in the name of social justice,” I can’t apologize for my instinct to suspect that it’s really about helping political friends profit from an industry that should not be allowed a foothold in our state."

Important thread from @CDCDirector on the latest information regarding the cases of lung injuries associated with e-cigarette or vaping products. 👇

[Smart Approaches to Marijuana @learnaboutsam]

The latest edition of the @UNODC's World Drug Report has been released. Notably, it finds that use has dramatically increased fewer young people view marijuana as being harmful, average potency has risen, and large corporations are beginning to infiltrate the industry.
