How Can You Help?

Cannabis is Safer

• Plant based alternative to opioids

• No synthetic chemicals

• Used for thousands of years for medicinal and recreational purposes

• Only approximately 9% of cannabis users develop a dependency 

• No life-threatening side effects or withdrawal symptoms 

• No reported cannabis overdoses to the CDC 

• No evidence of significant organ or tissue damage when not smoking 

• Some terpenes are believed to have chemo-preventive properties, meaning they could help prevent cancer or make it worse

Freedom to Choose

• You do not have to partake for cannabis to be legal

• You have the choice with alcohol or tobacco

• Some prefer more natural or holistic approaches to medicine 

• Availability would give a safe option for seekers of natural medicine 

• Legalization would provide better research 

• Better research would allow for more informed decisions and educated partakers

• Adults should have the right to choose their own bodily decisions
