While I appreciate the leadership of Senator Richard Blumenthal and Representative Andreas Salinas, the GRIT Act is misguided legislation and more cover for the gambling industry and its partners. The GRIT Act is part of the ethically flawed “responsible gaming” model. Consider the facts: * Gambling Disorder is an addiction on the same level as heroin, opioids, tobacco, and alcohol (DSM-5, 2013). * The Affiordable Care Act (2010) mandates that insurance companies provide full coverage for all addiction and substance disorder treatment. Congress and the Department of Health and Human Services must enforce existing federal law and guarantee the full range of mental health treatment for people and families struggling with gambling disorder and gambling-related harm. The money allocated in GRIT should be dedicated to independent research designed to bring public health reform to the gambling industry. A guarantee of full insurance coverage for treatment of gambling disorder and funding public health reform to PREVENT harm will soon be a major focus in Congress. The ethically flawed RG model will be replaced with public health reform and regulation specifically designed to prevent gambling related harm and provide full access to gambling disorder and mental health treatment.
Today, Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep. Andrea Salinas introduced the Gambling Addiction Recovery, Investment, and Treatment (GRIT) Act, establishing the first federal funding dedicated to addressing gambling addiction in the United States.

It's alarming to see drug abuse starting at such a young age of 10, with drug peddlers using flavored candies as a gateway to addiction. Children get lured in by these deceptive treats and end up becoming addicted, resorting to stealing from their own parents to feed this dangerous habit. This marks the beginning of a tragic chapter of drug abuse. As parents, it's crucial for us to be vigilant and approach our children as friends. Open and honest communication can make a significant difference in steering them away from such harmful influences and helping them make healthier choices. Let's strive to be proactive in educating our children about the dangers of substance abuse and provide them with the support and guidance they need to stay safe and healthy. #international day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking-26th June #awareness #saynotodrugs #who #uno

Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use at Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
I came across this billboard in Plattsburgh, NY this weekend. Kudos to the NY Office of Addiction Services and Supports team for disseminating naloxone and getting the word out about the dangers of fentanyl.
