Marijuana legislation must make clear the risks inherent in broader use and provide resources for those harmed.
A high school senior portrait of Catherine Mayberry. In fall 2022, an accidental overdose of methamphetamine mixed with fentanyl killed Mayberry at age 24. Her drug use had begun in her late teens with marijuana.
Catherine Mayberry was an honor student at Minnetonka High School. An award-winning artist. A varsity tennis player who also loved skiing and softball. A loving sister and daughter.
On Oct. 8, at age 24, she died from an accidental overdose of meth mixed with fentanyl. Sadly, her parents, Trent and Jane Mayberry, consider this her "second death."
In their view, they'd already lost her after she began using marijuana heavily in her late teens. As Catherine's mental health relentlessly deteriorated, the family discovered that a drug that many think is harmless in reality poses substantial risks for some users. Catherine was among those who develop psychosis after using the drug. She suffered from auditory hallucinations, delusional thinking, extreme anxiety and slowed mental capacity that permanently derailed her promising young life.

So your demonizing thc because she overdosed on meth laced with fentanyl. I fail to see the correlation.

This is fear - mongering, intellectually dishonest, and not supported by science. Correlation does not equate causation. That's a fairly basic fact that any columnist/reporting agency should be aware of. Do better than this dribble
