Even if we could be 100% certain that #vaping increases #COVID19 risk, which we're not, we still shouldn't ban vape products. #Prohibition does not work. Read our latest: houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlooโ€ฆ

I'm very excited that our Baker Institute #drugpolicy program got to submit this amicus brief in support of Sue Sisley, MD's suit against DEA HQ to allow #cannabis research to move forward. Huge thank you to Lisa Pittman @CoatsRose for making it happen! harrisbricken.com/cannalawblog/tโ€ฆ

My latest op-ed covers findings from a survey of medical #cannabis users in Texas and urges the #txlege to expand its Compassionate Use Program so that it can actually be functional

#Prohibition is one of the main causes of the #OverdoseEpidemic because it makes the #drug supply more dangerous. If policymakers and health experts don't acknowledge that then we aren't having honest conversations about how to address this problem. cnn.com/2021/07/14/heaโ€ฆ

Declarations that the #DrugWar is at its end are increasingly commonplace, but the โ€œend,โ€ if one dares to call it that, is proving to be long, bumpy, and localized -- from my recent piece on #DrugPolicy and #Texas politics.

You all know as well as we do that we can not incarcerate our way out of the overdose crisis. Tell Abbott that we need to invest in the lives of Texans and in the ability of Texas communities to thrive. Sign our petition: bit.ly/NOSB645
