@Rage4ndLove @CoDoc442 We fine steeply those who SELL dangerous products to our youth or anyone without safety labels or with false advertising as “miracle drugs “ cure alls that have not been tested for safety and efficacy. We don’t arrest the person who purchased the product
@Rage4ndLove @CoDoc442 Why? Because moonshine is often contaminated, not tested for safety. Candies and lookalike treats are appealing, this dangerous to children. Public safety and health IS THE ISSUE.
@Rage4ndLove @CoDoc442 Actually not even everclear but moonshine products from who knows where produced by who knows who in the basement of someone in a small isolated town. Yes. That is illegal currently
@Rage4ndLove @CoDoc442 Make that everclear in candies and sodas labeled as brand kids know and love (falsely, from cina-not the branded legitimate company)
@Rage4ndLove @CoDoc442 Yes, alcohol was sold on the shelf in gas stations to all ages mixed with and labeled as Coca Cola, orange soda, or in the middle of a chocolate candy labeled as bonbons or whoppers or m&ms we would ban that.
@JohnStofko5@tomangell Why do we want to have any drugs near schools? We don’t allow liquor stores near schools. Why encourage youth to use toxic addictive substances?
@degen_holdings@PopPotIllinois It is not illegal to study and is easier to study now than ever from a legal and ethical standpoint. It’s difficult to study because a hallucinogen cannot be effectively “blinded” for a randomized trial. When you’re high you know you got the drug.

@degen_holdings@PoppotNewYork “a pharma company that sells fentanyl” is selling to hospitals for patients in ICU on a ventilator or undergoing painful procedures such as colonoscopy, post operative patients etc. FDA approved Fentanyl is used every day in every hospital in the US.
@morgana1776@KevinSabet The industry is marketing in a way that is very appealing to children and adolescents. We didn’t allow cartoons to advertise tobacco. Why do we allow lookalike candy and snacks laced with THC in nearly identical packaging?
@KevinSabet@SteveAdami@Twolfrecovery Love this! I’m going to use your quote “yes we want to meet people where they are but we don’t want to leave them there.” Something I’ve been trying to articulate to our local Indiana recovery Alliance. Thanks for giving me the words!
