Jonathan Belmont | Support SB461

I support the regulation of products containing THC. Our young adults and communitiy members have been plagued with an array of negative psychological and physiological effects due to marijuana use and other substance use. In a professional capacity I have worked with adolescents and young adults that have disabilities (usually mental health based) disclose to me their use of marijuana. These individuals overwhelmingly appear to experience prolonged unemployment, more emotional distress, and difficulties communicating effectively with other people. This bill should be passed and furthermore there needs to be further education for young adults on the detrimental effects of marijuana and other substances.
