Americans Against Legalizing Drugs called on Congress to establish standard data collection protocols and mandate reporting related to drug use and the association with child abuse and death.
PRESS RELEASE FROM AALM…
Marijuana is the #1 Drug Associated with a Childs Death in:
Florida
Substance abuse history of caregivers by maltreatment verification status and cause of death in Florida
Marijuana is equal to the next 4 drugs combined for child abuse/death
Marijuana represents 46% of the substances related to a child’s death in Arizona
AALM calls on Congress to establish standard data collection protocols and mandate reporting related to drug use and the association with child abuse and death. –Carla Lowe, President of AALM
Arizona, Texas, and Florida are not even the top states for per capita marijuana use.
It is appalling that states that have “legalized” marijuana do such a poor job of tracking and publicizing the harms. -Scott Chipman, VP of AALM
