Young people were in a good protected spot until marijuana groups and vape groups teamed up to market their poison. Mind-altering substances should not be allowed to be marketed in the news, in social media or on signs. See death numbers in the page links below. Our goal is support the sanctity of life, by showing areas where deaths are increasing, especially young deaths. When young deaths go up a critical situation is occurring that needs support, it is affecting young people. We are all created by God to serve a loving and merciful God. God created young people to live, when young people are dying it is especially important for us to turn to God for support to rectify the situation.
Good laws prohibiting marketing of tobacco cigarette use, effectively removed nicotine from the young crowd to near non-existent, see green line below. Safe laws moved tobacco into near nonexistent in the young crowd- - safe laws will move young deaths into near nonexistent too. Prohibit marketing of vaping, tobacco, marijuana, edibles, oils, lotions on social media, signs and news posts.

Tobacco, marijuana and vape industries will continue to work together to destroy kids and adults if we do not put limits on what they can do.

How much did age 25-34 mind-altering substance deaths increase in the in the U.S. in the recent five year period, 2013-2017, compared to the prior five years, 2008-2012, is this significant?
How much did age 25-34 mind-altering substance deaths increase in the in the U.S. in the recent five year period, 2013-2017, compared to the prior five years, 2008-2012, is this significant?
Answer: U.S. had a 64.7% mind-altering substance death increase for young adults ages 25-34 years old - - - - 29,610 more mind-altering substance deaths in the recent five year span 2013-2017 vs 2008-2012 = 75,350 - 45,740 = 29,610.

Medicinal Marijuana heavy over-prescribing in Michigan #####################
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 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, 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.
Marijuana THC Increased 317% in a 0.5 gram joint between 1990 and 2013
1. A standard marijuana cigarette-joint size is 0.5 grams.
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
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/

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!!

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 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, 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%!!

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 3%. This report also indicates very potent addictive substances are in Michigan and in every U.S. state, 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 safe strong stringent measures during this critical period to be sure we support our most vulnerable residents, lax laws recklessly endanger vulnerable citizens.

Percent of U.S. 12 grade Students Reporting Marijuana, Cigarette, Vape Use in Past Month. Burdening young people with marijuana and vaping is a horrible heavy way for students to start their future as adults, growing in God and recovery is the only safe way to peace and love. Eliminating Marketing of Mind Altering Substances Works - cigarette deaths were moving down to non-existent until the surge of medicinal, recreational and vaping occurred, much of their marketing now done in news posts and social media. Remove marketing mind-altering substances on social media.

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).

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.

(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

Common Ground: (248) 456-8144 to ask questions, go to 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).

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 https://HisKingdomWeMatter.blogspot.com/, 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 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.

U.S. Teen Past Year Marijuana Use
NIDA U.S. 2019 survey indicates significant increase in Past Year Marijuana Use (column F).
So, potentially, how many teens used marijuana in the past year??
Multiply survey “past year marijuana use” percent by population to potentially see the number of teens who used Marijuana in the past year (column H) DxG=H.
Tenth graders in 2019 have 142% more Marijuana past year use compared to younger 8th graders age 13 years old. Calculation for percent change is ((NewValue - OldValue) / OldValue)*100 = ((Age 15 year old past year Marijuana use - Age 13 year old past year Marijuana use)/Age 13 year old past year Marijuana use )*100 = (1,184,993 - 490,327 / 490,327 = 142% increase in 10th grade past year Marijuana use age 15 years old compared to younger 8th graders age 13 years old.

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.

Michigan Example: What happened - 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 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

Common Ground: (248) 456-8144 to ask questions, go to 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).
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 https://HisKingdomWeMatter.blogspot.com/, 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 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.
