VITAL SIGNS for Parents

We are pleased to share a few words from Crissy Groenewegen, director of Parent Action Network, to introduce you to this vital resource for parents seeking to advocate for effective drug policy changes.

“Parent Action Network (PAN), a project of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the Foundation for Good Drug Policy Solutions, works with thousands of families hurt by the legalization, normalization, and increased accessibility of marijuana and other drugs—falsely touted as safe and non-addictivethat have harmed their loved ones.

Too many parents have suffered unimaginable loss, emotional trauma, and financial burdens as a result of these harmful substances. By empowering parents with the tools and opportunities to raise their voices and share their stories, PAN helps parents advocate for change. If you are interested in joining other parents working to inform state and national leaders about the dangers of today’s high-potency products and other psychedelic substances, visit https://learnaboutsam.org/pan/.”
