11 Myth: No one dies from marijuana use DENVER (AP/CBS 4) April 2, 2014 A Wyoming college student visiting Denver on spring break jumped to his death after eating a marijuana cookie that his friend legally purchased in one of Colorado's recreational pot shops, authorities said Wednesday. An autopsy report lists marijuana intoxication as a "significant contributing factor" in the death of 19-year-old Levi Thamba Pongi, a native of the Republic of Congo who fell from a motel balcony on March 11. Pongi's friends told investigators he ate the cookie and "exhibited hostile behavior" that included pulling things off walls and speaking erratically, the report said. Attempts by the three friends to calm Pongi seemed to work until he went outside and jumped over the balcony railing, according to the report. Denver police ruled the death an accident and their investigation remains open. Colorado law bans the sale of recreational marijuana products to people under 21. Possession by people under 21 is also against the law. Authorities said one of Pongi's friends was old enough to buy the cookie from a pot shop. The medical examiner's office had Pongi's body tested for at least 250 different substances, including bath salts and synthetic marijuana, which are known to cause strange behavior. His blood tested positive only for THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, according to the report. One of Pongi's friends also tried the cookie but stopped after feeling sick, said Michelle Weiss-Samaras, a spokeswoman for the Denver County medical examiner's office. The marijuana concentration in Pongi's blood was 7.2 nanograms of active THC per milliliter of blood. Colorado law says juries can assume someone is driving while impaired by marijuana if their blood contains more than 5 nanograms per milliliter of the chemical. Officials at Northwest College in Powell, Wyo., say Pongi started taking classes as an exchange student in January. He was studying engineering. Source: CBS Denver News
12 Consequences of Marijuana Legalization and Expanded Availability
13 The Attractiveness of Provisioning Centers in Michigan Marijuana Growers Math 72 Plants x 3 Grow Cycles Per Year = 216 Plants per Year PER GROWER 1 Lb. of Marijuana per Plant = 216 Lbs. of Marijuana per year PER GROWER 216 Lbs. / 6 Patients = 36 lbs. PER PATIENT 1 Marijuana Cigarette = ½ gram 56 Marijuana Cigarettes in 1 oz. (28.35 grams) 896 Marijuana Cigarettes in a Pound (16 ounces) 896 Marijuana Cigarettes x 36 lbs. PER PATIENT = 32,256 Marijuana Cigarettes PER PATIENT THAT S 88 Marijuana Cigarettes Per Day PER PATIENT

15 Illicit Drugs vs. Prescription Drugs Schedule 1 drugs- No medicinal purposes- illegal substances with high potential for abuse such as Opiates, LSD, ecstasy, MARIJUANA/MARIHUANA Schedule 2 drugs- high potential for abuse with currently accepted medical treatment use such as: morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, etc. Schedule 3 drugs- some potential for abuse; stimulants and depressant medications as prescribed by a doctor (sleeping pills, xanax, anti-anxiety medications etc) Schedule 4- over the counter drugs such as tylenol and cold medicines
16 MI Medical Marihuana Voted into law for the sick and dying Less than 12% of card carriers have a terminal diagnosis (2015) The Federal government still recognizes this as an illegal substance
17 The most common Marijuana myths talksooner.org
18 Medical Marihuana vs Regular Marijuana Medical Marihuana is still Marijuana. The drug comes from the same grow operations. Having a medical card doesn t mean it can be picked up at a pharmacy like a prescription.
19 Before the FDA approves a drug as a medicine, testing is done to: Determine the benefits and risks of the drug Determine how it may interact with other drugs Assure standardization of the drug Determine the appropriate dosage levels Identify and monitor side effects Identify safe drug administration Marijuana bypasses these FDA processes! 19
20 Marinol Pill containing synthetic THC Used for appetite stimulation in AIDS patients and other terminal diagnosis cases. Marinol is widely available at pharmacies to treat nausea/vomiting from cancer chemotherapy Not to be used in combination with: alcohol, marijuana and other drugs that affect the central nervous system such as diazepam (Valium), or Xanax.

29 Lessons Learned from legalization
30 Lesson #1 Colorado Futures Center Tax Estimates The Plan: 15% excise tax will yield $21.7 Million 10% special sales tax will yield $90.9 Million 2.9% existing state sales will yield $17.6 Million Estimated taxes, licenses and fees: $130.2 Million Actual Amount Collected in 2014: $63.4 Million The Difference: -$66.8 Million (That s more than 50% less than expected!)

33 Myth: Legalizing Marijuana will create an Economic Stimulus Will legalizing marijuana create an Economic stimulus? Jobs are created and tax revenue is collected; we won't deny that. Let's first consider some of the potential other costs associated with legalizing marijuana: 1. Increased medical costs such as ER visits 2. Increased car crashes 3. The cost associated with treating addiction 4. Loss of productivity at work 5. Unintentional exposure to children talksooner.org
34 Lesson #2 Summary This is not the marijuana that the public and our lawmakers remember from college Average THC levels in 1980 were 1.5% From 1999 to 2011, THC levels increased 144% (4.67% %) The last 4 years in Colorado, THC levels increased 155% to 28% THC (Return on Investment/Increase market share = a more potent drug) There are no studies on marijuana with these THC levels (THC<12%) And these THC levels pale in comparison to Medibles.

39 Incarceration Rates In total, one tenth of one percent (0.1 percent) of all state prisoners were marijuana-possession offenders with no prior sentences. There are very few people in state or federal prison for marijuana-related crimes. It is useful to look at all drug offenses for context. Among sentenced prisoners under state jurisdiction in 2008, 18% were sentenced for drug offenses. For federal prisoners, who represent 13% of the total prison population, about half (51%) had a drug offense as the most serious offense in And federal data shows that the vast majority (99.8%) of federal prisoners sentenced for drug offenses were incarcerated for drug trafficking.
