National Association of Attorneys General Letter to Congress

The letter, signed by 39 state and territorial attorneys general, advocates for closing the hemp loophole “to leave no doubt that these products are illegal and that their sale and manufacture are criminal acts.”

What does it really mean for your coalition to be ready to implement a new strategy, program, or policy? In mid-October, CADCA hosted the sixth webinar in its 18-part series, Competencies in Focus.

Developed in partnership with the Center for Public Health Systems Science at Washington University in St. Louis, these competencies are the result of more than three years of research and input from coalition leaders.

Mais la coalition savait que certains jeunes achetaient et consommaient de grandes quantités de médicaments contre la toux pour se défoncer. L'abus de sirop contre la toux aurait contribué au fait qu'un étudiant local ait poignardé sa grand-mère.
