How can we protect Maine from substance problem, Jesus is the way. Weed and other substances, none is best, short term to safely to get people to recovery. Some addictions to mind-altering substances require tapering off with medical support for safe detoxification withdraw to reduce risk of harm (e.g., seizures, hallucinations, etc.) these are alcohol, opiates, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, oxycontin, methadone or suboxone). Are Maine Christians strengthening churches, to help young to salvation, bypass substance situation? Does Maine need help strengthening churches, helping people to salvation, helping most vulnerable (young, elderly and special needs) bypass substance situation?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Medicinal and Rec need tight lid to keep kids safe, otherwise leads kids right into illicit opiate destructionMichigan chart below is an example of what happens to young when unclear lax laws presented to voters and are allowed to exist, see chart below. Crude deaths in Michigan were going down in ages 15-34 years old until 2008, when medicinal heavy over-prescribing happened. The 2008 Michigan marijuana law voted in allowed a physician to prescribe medical marijuana giving the patient the ability to possess marijuana up to 2.5 ounces of medical marijuana, a 4.5 month supply of medical marijuana, drug dealing supply of weed! http://norml.org/legal/item/michigan-medical-marijuana In 2008, the 2.5 ounces of marijuana never should not have been brought to voters written in such a way that it left out important details stating this bill includes heavy dangerous over-prescribing a mind-altering substance and the ramifications this increase presents to young people, young deaths tend to increase in areas where it is implemented. Before the 2008 marijuana bill was brought to Michigan voters, it should have been clarified to voters it included heavy over-prescribing, and the ramifications over-prescribing presents to an area. Over-prescribing mind-altering substances does not do well for young people in the area, young crude deaths tend to increase in areas where lax mind-altering substance laws are instituted. When mind altering substances increase in an area - accidents, suicides, homelessness, runaways, prostitution, violence, theft, arrests and sicknesses increase due to the high/drunk deceiving effect a mind-altering substance has on a person. Boulder County, is the first county in Colorado to implement recreational marijuana, experienced horrible tragic young death increase. Cap it: A 2-4 week limit should be placed on ALL mind altering substances to prevent them from reaching a crowd of people for which they were not intended, young people. Instead of a 2-4 week limit, Michigan medical marijuana made a way for people to possess ?drive around with? a lot of weed a 4.5 month supply of weed, which is heavy over-prescribing - 141 medical marijuana joints of a 0.5 gram size is 2.5 ounces of marijuana. The 2008 MI medicinal marijuana allowed a physician to prescribe a patient 2.5 ounces of marijuana, which equals 141 medical marijuana joints of a 0.5 gram size, a 4.5 month supply of medical marijuana, heavy, dangerous, over-prescribing. The bill just said a physician can prescribe 2.5 ounces of marijuana, the majority of voters didn't smoke marijuana, didn't realize 2.5 ounces is at least a 4.5 month supply of weed, a very addictive mind-altering substance. Assuming a patient smokes a 0.5 gram marijuana joint each day, which is a lot, this is a 4.5 month supply of weed, marijuana. As such, marijuana over-flow has been building up in Michigan since 2008, which coincides with death increases in the chart below. We were built to serve God, we were not built to serve misery of addiction bondage of mind-altering substances. Trying to recover from a mind-altering substance is hard, it deceives the mind of the person using, thus it is really important to limit its' use.

Barriers that once protected people were removed. Did any of the people drafting the medicinal or recreational bills pray to God for wisdom before drafted or proposed it? What can we do to rectify, put safety back into the situation, protect teens and vulnerable. Vaping and recreational marijuana were not needed in the past, families did well without them. Michigan started suffering 2008 when medicinal marijuana and vaping came to town with lax safety regulations. Recreational destroys young people and leaves Michigan is in a critical state without a process to implement safety. Voters didn’t vote for this. (1) No Baseline Regulations: potency regulations to use lowest THC 1-3 % to minimize addiction were not implemented. (2) No regulations to implement recovery when a need for potency increased: Potency should not go past 3 %, going past 3 % THC is an indication addiction is occurring, this is an indication addiction is occurring instead of healing, the next step is detox, talking to a doctor to help patients to protected recovery to be prevent patients from reaching for substance during withdraw in the wake of deadly substances infiltration. (3) No regulations to prohibit marketing drug dealing, instituted extreme over-prescribing without notifying voters of risks: Marijuana groups marketing drugs on social media and news ads. It is wrong to promote selling mind-altering substances - it destroys people and counties. When mind altering substances increase in an area - accidents, suicides, homelessness, runaways, prostitution, human trafficking, violence, theft, arrests and sicknesses increase due to the high/drunk deceiving effect a mind-altering substance has on a person. Marijuana is a mind-altering substance. remove Marketing of Mind Altering Substances on social media - cigarette deaths were moving down to non-existent until the surge of medicinal, recreational and vaping occurred, backed by tobacco companies, much of their marketing now done in news posts and social media. Remove marketing mind-altering substances on social media. https://truthinitiative.org/research-resources/tobacco-industry-marketing/what-do-tobacco-advertising-restrictions-look-today (4) No regulations to prohibit excessive use and no notification of danger to citizens: . Instituted a deadly practice "over-prescribing" without notifying counties and residents of dangers of polluting an area with mind-altering substances. When mind altering substances increase in an area - accidents, suicides, homelessness, runaways, prostitution, human trafficking, violence, theft, arrests and sicknesses increase due to the high/drunk deceiving effect a mind-altering substance has on a person. (5) No regulations to follow safe medical practice guidelines, recreational took doctors out of the process – Doctors no longer prescribe, eliminated medical safety, it is no wonder people are strung out on drugs and homeless, can’t think straight because regulations that protect the young, old, special needs were eliminated. (6) Did not institute strict safety processes, instead jumped on dangerous over-prescribing and sold near schools, recovery centers and hospitals instead of institution tight lids to keep poisons securely locked 20 miles away from any hospital, recovery center, school or university.. https://www.mlive.com/news/2019/09/why-is-vaping-so-bad-for-teenagers.html (7) Lack of regulations protecting the vulnerable and lowly: Vape shops, dispensaries and recreational shops should never be allowed within 20 miles of schools, hospitals or recovery centers - where are the regulations that protect vulnerable people in Michigan? A Medicinal marijuana site went up near young people at U of M, which should never be allowed, see link below!! Vape shops, dispensaries should never be allowed within 20 miles of schools, hospitals or recovery centers. https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2018/09/another_marijuana_dispensary_t.html
(8) Lack of regulations to prevent drug dealing "marketing drugs". Recent news articles promote marijuana, a mind-altering substance, setting up young people in the area for hurt, deception and misery. Marketing mind-altering substances is wrong and deceiving. Instead of keeping a lid on mind-altering substances, it is breaking all previously set lids to keep teens and adults safe. The whole article is about making money off of people in a deceptive way - not mentioning their main product, Marijuana THC addiction potency increased 317% in a 0.5 gram joint between 1990 and 2013. THC is the addictive part that gets a person high. NIDA indicates the potency of a marijuana cigarette increased from 3 percent THC in 1990's to 12.5 percent THC in 2013, see marijuana notes below. For example, vodka is way more addictive potent than beer, heroin more addictive potent than Tylenol #3. Marijuana has concentrated product like those, the article doesn’t warn people of danger. It doesn’t warn people about the dangers of alcohol and THC doubling addiction. It doesn’t list the cost to insurance companies who pay for accidents and recovery related to addiction. Marijuana and tobacco are not the only substances that are vaped. There are very poisonous addictive, deadly substances in the young crowd, marijuana is a gateway to these drugs. Remove marijuana from teen population, you remove a method for teens stepping into deadly opiates, meth, cocaine, etc. https://www.freep.com/story/news/marijuana/2019/12/21/michigan-marijuana-gift-guide-recreational-legal/2710324001/
Cannabis & Opioid Use Disorder Early initiation of marijuana (before 18 years) emerged as the dominant predictor. Prohibiting marijuana before age 34 years old is an effective strategy in preventing opioid addiction in young adults https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31962227

Greatest Commandment: Matthew 22:35-40 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the pr
Parents indicated reporting was needed to support young people, they were right, U.S. report revealed young adults ages 25-34 years old in the experienced critical horrible significant 21.6% death increase in the recent five years - - - - - 46,613 more deaths in the recent five year span versus prior five years, 2013-2017 vs 2008-2012, this is a terrible, critical increase in young deaths. We must determine to support life, support sober-minded life, tell the truth about the deceiving nature of mind-altering substances, help young and old people to recovery, support churches, recovery centers, prisons, support sober-minded laws and sobriety education in schools.

The first step to changing a situation is to admit the situation exists, addiction exists, mind-altering substances can cause misery and tragic early death if addiction sets in without recovery support. The good news is we have a God who saves, Deuteronomy 6 indicates God commands us to teach children about when God saved the nation Israel, millions of people with no phones, no computers - God heard the cries and prayers of the people, he saved. God commands us to teach children keep these words in our heart, teach them diligently when sitting in the house, when walking out of the house or in the house, when thou liest down and when thou risest up. God is saying, keep the words, memorize them, never forget them, keep them close in mind, daily. God so loves us and our children, he gave us these words to save and teach these words to be saved. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Deuteronomy-Chapter-6/
