B. Prohibit Marketing of mind-altering substances: Good laws prohibiting marketing of tobacco cigarette use, effectively removed nicotine from the young crowd to near non-existent, see green line in link. Safe laws will move young deaths into non-existent too. Prohibit marketing of mind-altering substances (e.g., vaping, tobacco, hookah, marijuana, PCP, acid, mushrooms, etc.) in any form (edibles, oils, lotions, make-up, drinks, cigarettes, blunts, dried or wet) on radio, internet, cable, television, signs, news posts, sporting events, magazines, newspapers, point of sales and social media (Facebook, twitter, Instagram, snapchat, YouTube, LinkedIn, messenger, pin-interest). https://hiskingdomwematter.blogspot.com/p/safe-laws-moved-tobacco-into-near.html

The news is flooding with posts of very poisonous
mind altering substances entering the
U.S. 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

Crude death is a measure of all deaths for a
specified period and age group. This is a crude death report; thus, this report
includes all deaths including, sickness, accidents,
suicide, violence and all mind-altering substance
deaths (e.g., opiates, narcotics, marijuana, vaping,
alcohol, meth, sedatives, benzodiazepines,
tranquilizers, Xanax, stimulants, cocaine,
hallucinogens, tobacco, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When a person is suffering from a physical
addiction “unrecovered" (without protected recovery
and support), a person sometimes reaches for another
mind-altering substance to deal with hard withdraw,
as such, addiction increases. Substances have
increased in variety and poisonous strength.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When mind altering substances increase in an area -
accidents, suicides, homelessness, runaways,
prostitution, violence, human trafficking, 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cap It
Without limits, a mind-altering substance becomes an
accidental abuse. Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Michigan announced in 2018 it will cap,
limit its members' opioid prescriptions to 30 days,
and in some cases, five days in efforts to address the
opioid epidemic in both its state and the
nation. Limits protect health, prevent
over-prescribing and help decrease addiction and
accidental deaths, https://www.thefix.com/new-opioid-script-limits-announced-blue-cross-michigan.
************************************************************************************
Over-prescribing: Over-prescribing a mind-altering substance has a
history of making its way to young people, with
devastating results. Young crude deaths tend to
increase in areas where lax mind-altering substance
laws like over-prescribing are instituted, death rates
go up. Limits 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. For example, in West Virginia between 2006 and 2016,
drug distributors shipped large quantities
of opiate hydrocodone and oxycodone
to two pharmacies in Williamson at the same time a
doctor overprescribed. As such, West
Virginia Age 15-34-year-old crude death rate increased
to 139.3 is 48.6 points higher than US death rate
90.7 during the same year period
2012-2016!! See link to view West Virginia article.

Medicinal Marijuana heavy over-prescribing in
Michigan #####################
The 2008 Michigan marijuana law voted in allowed a
physician to prescribe medical marijuana to a patient
giving the patient the ability to carry and possess
marijuana up to 2.5 ounces of medical
marijuana. 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 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 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.
One standard average marijuana joint-cigarette = is
0.5 grams
1 ounce equals 28.3495231 Grams
28.3495231 Grams x (1 joint/ 0.5 grams) =
56.6990462 joints
1 ounce equals 56.699 0462 joint cigarettes (0.5
grams)
2.5 ounces x 28.3495231 = 70.87380775 grams (1 joint/0.5 grams) =
141 joints
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
limits, heavy over-prescribing occurred in
2008. Over-prescribing a mind-altering substance
has a history of making it's way to people not
intended, such as young people, with devastating
results. Additionally no limits placed on potency, in
some cases increased 2,567%.
Instead of a 2-4 week limit, Michigan medical
marijuana made a way for people to 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, a 4.5 month supply of medical marijuana which 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, way over-prescribing. The
bill just said a physician can prescribe 2.5 ounces of
marijuana, the majority of voters didn't smoke
marijuana, don't realize 2.5 ounces is a 4.5 month
supply of weed. This assumes a patient smokes a
0.5 gram marijuana joint each day, which is a
lot. As such, marijuana over-flow has been
building up in Michigan since 2008, which coincides
with death increases. We were built to serve
God, we were not built to serve misery bondage of
mind-altering substances. Getting off them is
hard, it deceives the mind of the person using, thus
it is really important to limit its' use.
Two states allow twice the medicinal amount of
Michigan (Delaware and New Mexico) - medical marijuana laws in these states allow a
patient to possess 6 ounces
of marijuana (340 joints of .5 gram size),
almost a year supply of medical marijuana, super heavy
over prescribing!!!! With those amounts, young people
in those states struggle way more than young people in
Michigan. 2013-2017. New Mexico age 25-34 year old death rate 190.6 is 72 points higher than the U.S. age 25-34
year old death rate 118.8 in the recent five year
period 2013-2017, New Mexico had the 2nd highest age 25-34 year old
crude death rate for ages 25-34 years old.
Delaware age 25-34 year old death rate 144.3 is 26
points higher than the U.S. age 25-34 year old death
rate 118.8 in the recent five year period 2013-2017,
Delaware had the 17th highest state death rate for
ages 25-34 years old in the recent five year period 2013-2017
https://hiskingdomnumbersmatter.blogspot.com/p/us-ages-25-34-years-old-had-261988.html
Recreational marijuana is a type of exponential
heavy over-prescribing.
Over-prescribing a mind-altering substance has a
history of making it's way to people not intended,
such as young people, with devastating
results. Over-prescribing 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.
(1). removes a doctor prescription so adults over 21
years old can use any time for any reason and
(2). For example, in the Michigan ballot which went
through in 2018, which proposed legalizing 10 ounces of marijuana, which
equates to 567 marijuana joints, an 18 month daily
supply of 0.5 gram size marijuana, a year and a half
supply of marijuana allowed in homes in Michigan where people are over 21
years of age – EXPOTENTIAL heavy over-prescribing! Mind-altering substances should have no more than a
2-4-week supply, see Cap It above.
(3). The Michigan ballot legalized allowing 2.5
ounces (141 joints can be sitting in any house out in the open) a 4.5-month supply of marijuana can be sitting out
in the open in any home a child could enter in
Michigan --- which is NOT safe for young
people who live in the area!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, Colorado, a recreation marijuana state, had a 27% increase in young crude deaths for ages 25-34 years old comparing the five
year span 2012-2016 to the five years prior
2007-2011, 901 more crude deaths in the five year
span following recreational marijuana implementation
versus the five years prior, 2012-2016 vs 2007-2011 =
4,232 - 3,331 = 901 more crude deaths in the five year
span 2012-2016. Colorado had 4,232 age 25-34 year
old crude deaths in the 5 year period,
2012-2016. After recreational marijuana was
implemented, Colorado age 25-34 year old
crude death rate increased significantly 12.4
points comparing 2012-2016 vs 2007-2011 death rates =
105.6 - 93.2 = 12.4 death rate point increase.
Marijuana THC Increased 317% in a 0.5 gram joint between 1990 and
2013
THC is the addictive part that gets a person
high. The potency of a marijuana
cigarette increased from 3 percent THC in 1990's to 12.5
percent THC in 2013. NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse); National
Institutes of Health; U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services web site 9-28-19, https://www.drugabuse.gov/about-nida/legislative-activities/testimony-to-congress/2014/mixed-signals-administrations-policy-marijuana-part-four-scientific-focus-adverse-health NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) (June 20,
2014) Mixed Signals: The Administration’s Policy on
Marijuana, Part Four -- Scientific Focus on the
Adverse Health Effects of Marijuana Use https://archives.drugabuse.gov/testimonies/2014/mixed-signals-administrations-policy-marijuana-part-four-scientific-focus-adverse-health-effects
1. A standard marijuana cigarette-joint size is 0.5
grams.
2. Standard Marijuana serving size set in the 1990s is
0.015 grams of 100% THC
3. 1990 THC 3%, multiply the 1990 THC 3% by 0.5 grams
(standard joint size) = 0.03x0.5=0.015 grams THC
per 0.5 gram joint. Based on this
information, the standard Marijuana serving size
set in the 1990s is 0.015 grams of 100%
THC.
4. 2013 THC 12.5%: According to NIDA average Marijuana THC increased to
12.5% percent THC in 2013 = 12.5/100=0.125 THC x 0.5 grams (joint size) =
0.0625 grams of 100% THC, which is a 317% increase in THC between 1990 and 2013!!!!
5. Percent Increase - % change calculation 1990 vs
2013 THC = ((NewValue— OldValue) / OldValue) x 100 = ((THC1990
- THC2013)/ THC2013) x100 = ((0.0625-0.015) / 0.015)
x100 = ((0.0475) / 0.015) x100 = 317% increase in THC between 1990 and 2013 (THC is the
addictive part that gets a person
high). THC grams
increased 317% between 1990 and 2013 in a
0.5 grams serving. This made it's way to
teens 😭, way more addictive than 30 years ago! Each
time a teen smokes a 2013 joint it is equal to smoking
four 1990 joints in one setting! Many teens are
smoking daily, so in one week they are smoking the
equivalent of twenty-eight 1990 marijuana joints a
week, way more THC. Marijuana wasn't good to
teens that smoked a joint in the 1990s, the grams of
THC increased 317% (1990 versus 2013), way more high
and addictive today. THC gets a person high like
alcohol in beer or wine gets a person drunk.
Vaping exploded overnight, and many teens are vaping,
not because they like vaping, it hurts when they try
to stop, some run away, become homeless because the
pain of trying to quit is that bad. THC gets a
person high, 317% more high, more addictive since
2013. It is like drinking a bunch of vodka,
suddenly addicted, only you don’t vomit or slur words,
every part of a day focuses on getting enough THC to
not hurt while trying to complete
responsibilities.
Marijuana Exponential Toxic Concentrates (wax,
budder, shatter, oils, dabbing, extracts, gummies,
candy, cookies, edibles) THC in some cases increased as much as
2,567%in a 0.5 gram joint between 1990 and 2013
According to NIDA, marijuana concentrates can have,
50-80% THC, High potential for Addiction! https://www.drugabuse.gov/about-nida/legislative-activities/testimony-to-congress/2014/mixed-signals-administrations-policy-marijuana-part-four-scientific-focus-adverse-health Marijuana extracts reach young people if we do not
include cap boundaries to protect young people. THC is the element in marijuana that gets
people high & addicted, like alcohol is the
element in beer/wine that gets people drunk and
addicted.
According to NIDA Marijuana Oils and Extracts can
be as as high as 80% THC
6. 80% THC Concentrate = 80/100 = 0.80 THC x 0.5 grams (joint size) = 0.4
grams of 100% THC is a 2,567% increase in THC between
1990 and 2013! A 2,567% THC increase is equivalent to smoking twenty-six 1990 joints
in one 0.5 gram joint! This is what teens confront
today, that is toxic potent!! Trying to get off
the stuff, teens sometimes reach for another worse
substance. The grams of THC increased 2,567%
from 1990 to 80% concentrate today — way more
high, addictive today!!!! However the good news, with God, encouragement,
recovery and truthful support, many admit it is
horrible to be addicted, receive help, go on to lead
sober recovered good lives.
7. Percent Increase - % change calculation (3% THC
versus 80% THC) = (((NewValue— OldValue) / OldValue) x 100 =
((0.4-0.015) / 0.015) x100 = 2,567% THC increased as much as 2,567% in a 80% THC marijuana extract or wax or oil between 1990 and 2013. Each time a teen
vapes one of these it is equal to smoking twenty-six
1990 joints in one setting, 💔😭 exponentially addictive, it no longer takes
years to get addicted, it happens with the first try
- this is why it is important to protect teens, put
lids on mind-altering substances so there is no
over-flow. Colorado leads the nation in first time marijuana
use by those aged 12–17, representing a 65% increase
in adolescent use since legalization https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6312155/
Emergency Room (ER) Marijuana Admissions increase
ALOT
1. Marijuana admissions increased 96% (2004 versus
2011) A rapid rise in emergency room (ER) admissions linked
to marijuana use attests to the greater dangers
of acute use. There were 128,857 ER visits related to
marijuana use in 2011, nearly double the number from
2004 (65,699). Thus, Emergency room visits
related to marijuana increased 96%, 2011 compared to
2004=((128,857-656,99)/656,99)x100 =
96%!! NIDA (National Institute on Drug

Marijuana Use https://archives.drugabuse.gov/testimonies/2014/mixed-signals-administrations-policy-marijuana-part-four-scientific-focus-adverse-health-effects
2. Colorado Children hospital admissions for marijuana injury admissions increase 382%
(2005 versus 2015). Lax Marijuana laws seriously hurting children
Colorado, un-necessary substance companies making
money at the expense of children in area. Denver
area, visits to Children’s
Hospital Colorado facilities for treatment
of cyclic vomiting, paranoia, psychosis and other
acute marijuana cannabis-related symptoms jumped to
777 in 2015, from 161 in 2005, a 382% increase
acute cannabis (marijuana) hospital
instances. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/potent-pot-vulnerable-teens-trigger-concerns-in-first-states-to-legalize-marijuana/2019/06/15/52df638a-8c9a-11e9-8f69-a2795fca3343_story.html
Marijuana Treatment admissions
1. The number of Marijuana public treatment admissions in Michigan
attests to the higher marijuana potency, see page 15 of this report. This report also indicates very potent
addictive substances are in Michigan in which
residents are suffering (alcohol, heroin, opiates,
cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, etc.). As
such, we should do everything possible to uphold safe
laws for residents and implement extra measures during
this critical period to be sure we are supporting our
most vulnerable residents, lax laws recklessly
endanger vulnerable citizens. https://www.michigan.gov/documents/msp/FY18_Meth_Related_Criminal_Incidents_651356_7.pdf
2. The number of Marijuana U.S. treatment admissions
attests to marijuana addiction, the higher volume of
young marijuana treatment admissions validates the
need to protect children and teens, eliminating overflow and keep marijuana baseline at

Teen Vaping in Michigan is wide spread and
young addiction and daily use is
increasing (click link scroll down to see vape numbers by

Michigan as a state started suffering when
medicinal marijuana and vaping came to town with
lax over-prescribing laws that didn't tell the
truth. In the 1990s teens didn’t have to deal with
vaping. Vaping and marijuana as a publicly sold entity
were not needed in the past, Michigan teens did
well without them, look what happened to teens
today with current lax safety laws for medicinal,
recreational, tobacco and vaping apparatus laws,
this is sad!. About 30% of Michigan 11th-graders, 20% of
ninth-graders and 7% of seventh-graders used
e-cigarettes in the past month in the last
month! According to CDC, there are 131,824
sixteen-year-olds in Michigan per 2017 latest
data. So how many eleventh graders were hurt
by e-cigarettes (vaping hurts the lungs).
Multiply Michigan 11 grade vaping percent 30.0%
by Michigan eleventh grade age 16 year old
population 131,824 =30/100=0.3 x 131,824 sixteen
year old Michigan CDC population = 39,547 sixteen year olds in

Without limits, an addictive mind-altering
substance becomes an abuse in which people in
the area are hurt. Young people are more vulnerable to
addiction, that is why alcohol has a higher age
limit, the younger a person starts, the more likely
addiction spirals out of control. Lids must be
implemented to prevent weed and tobacco from
reaching teens, it is not intended for
them. Someone drinking a bottle of vodka
is really struggling, just as someone using heroin
or fentanyl is really struggling. If a physician or patient sees THC amount
is going up by looking at history, it means his
patient is getting addicted, is
struggling, thus should engage the patient in counseling to
prevent a serious addiction. If the patient is
seeking marijuana to deal with a serious opiate or
alcohol addiction, then a temporary different THC %
and plan for recovery support might be needed.
A recovery plan with a sober godly focus must be put
in place to prevent a more serious addiction in the
wake of deadly substances which many young people
accidentally overdose, see resources below.
It is our responsibility as parents, citizens
and leaders to protect people, especially young and
vulnerable people, with sober-minded safe laws that
prevent over-prescribing and prevent marketing
harmful mind-altering substances.
Heavy Marijuana daily usage in Colorado
validates serious marijuana addiction, it is so big it is changing the face of
Colorado, very sad. In just a few
years, daily use in Colorado is averaging more than
5 points higher than the nation, Appendix Figure 2 reveals that Colorado has a much higher share of “heavy” marijuana
consumers compared to the national average. Between
20.3-26.2 percent of the state’s marijuana
consumers report near-daily use of marijuana (26
and over days), compared to just 15.5 percent
nationwide. At the same time, the proportion of
consumers who reported occasional marijuana use (less than one day per
month) is much lower in Colorado (26.8 to 37.3
percent) compared to the national average (46.4
percent).

The founder of Bryan's Hope, Jeannie Richards,
indicated reporting is needed to understand the
magnitude of the substance problem to help people to recovery and to keep
children sober and safe, prevent the next generation
of children from stepping into the horrible
mind-altering substance situation. Jeannie was
right, see mind-altering substance reports see link
at bottom of this report page:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this day teens and adults are confronted with a
variety of critically addictive and poisonous
substances while at the same time receive mixed
messages from television, cable, internet, radio,
songs and books about people using mind-altering
substances without noting any real harm, which is
wrong and deceiving. Turn away from this! Parents
ask your schools how they teach children to
recognize deception and how to turn away from
it.

Eliminating Marketing of Mind Altering Substances
Works - marijuana and tobacco deaths were going
down until the surge of medicinal, recreational and
vaping occurred, much of their marketing now
done in news posts and social media.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michigan chart below is an example of what
happens to people when lax laws are 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 heavy
over-prescribing happened. The 2008 Michigan marijuana law voted in allowed a
physician to prescribe medical marijuana to a
patient giving the patient the ability to possess
marijuana up to 2.5 ounces of medical marijuana, a
4.5 month supply of medical marijuana. 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.

Example fo what happened in Michigan - what
changed? 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

Common Ground: (248) 456-8144 (24 hours/day) Families and friends can ask questions at common
ground number, it is often a hard emotional time, they
help family and friends guide loved ones into treatment
or detox (coming off a mind-altering substance is hard,
it can temporarily make a person feel suicidal, which is
why protected recovery detox is important, to have
support during withdraw and to build recovery
support. Some people have a hard time sleeping
during early recovery, this is another reason for
addiction treatment recovery, so a person doesn't have
to be responsible for work during
withdraw. Some mind-altering substances require tapering
off slowly 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).
Good low cost christian program is Life Challenge, I believe they have scholarships for those who
can not afford it, recovery is available, message
Living in Grace, local community programs, local
churches or hospitals, we can find scholarships to
help people in https://lcministries.org/ Phone: (313) 531-0111
Young parents are often afraid to
talk about the need for recovery, afraid they will
loose custody of children, that is no longer true.
Progams like Odyssey Village allow young children and
parents in, both mom, or dad or both attend. Parents
are in separate housing during the program to keep
recovery as the prime focus. Odyssey Village odysseyvillage.com/ Phone: (810) 238-5888
Responsibility:
Young people are a blessing and are made to live.
Losing young people in the land in which we live is
devastating, we must never forget those we lost and keep
moving forward to prevent the next generation from
stumbling into this situation. When young deaths
rise, a critical situation is occurring, as responsible
citizens, we can find ways to support critical
populations, support the young, elderly and the
lowly. We can investigate what is happening,
have any laws changed in an area that could affect
the health of people.
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
prophets.
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. To see mind-altering substance reports go
here lhttps://hiskingdomwematter.blogspot.com/p/us-age-25-34-year-old-substance-deaths.html or see link at bottom of this report page.
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/
Understanding death increase enables us locate critical
suffering populations to work on sober-minded solutions
to give support. Living in Grace created
these reports to improve the health and well-being of
persons living in the United States. Recovery and
sobriety works. Living in Grace shares reporting
to support work with governments, schools, places of
worship, community groups, universities, colleges,
hospitals, police, fire departments, EMS and businesses
to help those suffering to recovery, support those in
prison and prevent the next generation of children from
stepping into the horrible substance situation.
