I was excited to share my story of addiction and recovery to the @WSJ for this great piece! “I feel like I was duped [into believing] it’s not addictive, it’s just a plant, it will cure your anxiety,” he said. “We were played.” https://t.co/CK7xnPu0Mf

WOW: “The Ohio House lost leverage in regulating the product due to the federal government banning hemp, the lawmaker said.” Now we’re getting hemp-derived THC marketed to kids off the shelves in Ohio. Big Hemp has had years to be “regulated.” It’s failed. Good on Ohio.

"Straight Arrow News spoke to Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), a group involved in drafting the new language." “No legislator at the time of creating the 2018 farm bill intended for this industry to be created." @j0rdandavids0n https://t.co/5u7LHIREvS

Special thanks to all the parents and advocates who made this law possible. It’s been a long and tiring road, but we did it! @parentactionSAM @KevinSabet @LukeNiforatos @imanlohrasbi9 @GoodDrugPolicy @SenMcConnell

It’s official: the hemp-THC ban is law of the land. Our @learnaboutsam team worked for this every day since 2018. It’s now our biggest achievement. Special interests will lies about this law. But remember: this ban puts the safety of kids front and center. It will save lives.

HOUSE BANS HEMP-THC. PUBLIC HEALTH WINS!

And a shout to @LukeNiforatos:

The kind of coverage we absolutely like to see @dcexaminer. https://t.co/b2XkT3I5tQ

Total thrashing of @RandPaul’s last stand for drugs happening right now on the Senate floor. Our hemp ban is a freight train that can’t be stopped!

Our team @learnaboutsam has been leading this effort since 2018. I couldn’t be prouder of the amazing group within our organization and the countless parents, allies, and friends who helped along the way. This is a tremendous victory. Now onto the House!

It’s official: DELTA-8 and other derivatives will be banned. BIGGEST WIN EVER. Congratulations to @j0rdandavids0n who led our team, & to the Dems/Rs that did the right thing. But tonight isn’t about credit. It’s about real lives being saved. For that I am most grateful.

We have a sports betting epidemic in this country. https://t.co/Blt5ddkEct

As we wrap up the fight against intoxicating hemp, I'd like to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to the hemp industry for picking Rand Paul, the least popular Senator, as its champion. We truly may not have been able to get this far without you guys!

JUST IN: Our hemp ban language is IN That means delta-8 and all the other intoxicating hemp derivatives will soon be banned nationwide. This is a titanic victory for public health, safety, and, importantly, children across America harmed by these dangerous drugs. We

Decriminalizing all drugs isn’t popular… shocker. Let’s learn here.

"The evidence is now in. The explosive growth in sports gambling is bad for sports, and — most important — it has proved to be bad for the millions of Americans who gamble past the point of prudence and move directly to the point of pain. The sports gambling revolution needs more

I bet the student athletes who will now gamble are absolutely going to stop when they go pro, get a big check, but can no longer bet according to league rules. It’s not like this is a disaster waiting to happen.

I'm glad that the NBA gambling scandal has brought the problems with mass commercialized online sports betting to light. I'm upset that it's taken this to get the public's attention instead of the countless lives ruined by gambling addiction.

Ah, so legalized sports betting didn’t get rid of the underground gambling industry? Instead it’s corrupting sports and leading to more illegal betting? It’s not like this was entirely predictable or anything.

These are the victories. https://t.co/arOUlAtCRd

Extremely disappointing — we’ve pleaded with our criminal justice system to hold drug dealers and users accountable for the significant impact they have on our public spaces. Here, again, despite multiple arrests for public drug use and now direct violation of a stay-away order,
