Dear Friend, As I am sure you have heard by now, the latest innovation of Big Marijuana has turned fatal. Unfortunately, there are now hundreds of cases of severe respiratory illnesses with six deaths linked to the vaping of high potency marijuana. In response, the Trump Administration is poised to ban non-tobacco flavored vaping products from the market, but as of yet there has been no mention of any action to be taken against the actual culprit responsible for these deaths: marijuana vapes. It is vital that we take every action to urge elected officials at every level to immediately pull all marijuana vaping products off the shelves. And despite what you may hear from the industry's spin doctors, the DOJ and FDA can put an end to pot vaping without having to legalize and "regulate" the drug. Click here now to call your Member of Congress and urge them to take action against Big Marijuana and stop turning a blind eye to the reality of the harms it is perpetrating on our country. In order to prevent more loss of life at the hands of the addiction-for-profit industry, we must call on our federal representatives to ENFORCE FEDERAL LAW AND PUT AN END TO THE PRODUCTION AND SALE OF MARIJUANA VAPING PRODUCTS. If you have social media, please be sure to use the hashtag #PotVapingCrisis when sharing information related to this development. Here is a sample tweet for you to use: We can’t forget: marijuana vaping is the root cause of the recent slew of illness and deaths from vaping. Dear @realDonaldTrump, @HHSGov, @TheJusticeDept, @FDACommissioner, it’s time to hold Big Marijuana accountable for the #PotVapingCrisis Nicotine vaping is indeed a scourge, but we cannot allow the fact that marijuana vaping is the root cause of this new rash of illnesses and deaths escape unnoticed. Please, do everything in your power to hold Big Pot accountable.
