I've said it over and over again...
While fentanyl gets oversized attention in news media and from politicians, please remember that the reigning champion of deaths and hospitalizations— the overwhelming number one killer when it comes to addiction— is alcohol. Alcohol. Alcohol.

📰 Official statement from the coalition opposing the proposed 'drug-induced homicide' legislation, SB23-109, on the bill's ✨defeat✨ late last night in the House Judiciary committee:
ALT The united opposition to this ill-conceived law shows a broad consensus that criminalization and punishment have not and will not work to solve a health crisis. Instead, the negative consequences of these laws have impacted every corner of our state, taking a generational toll on communities of color, heightening disparities, and aggravating rather than reducing harms from substance use. The diverse coalition opposing this bill sent an unequivocal message: it is far past time for a new approach rooted in public health not criminalization — care, not cuffs!” Vincent Atchity, President & CEO of Mental Health Colorado, on the defeat of SB23-109

🚨Colorado Alert🚨 There are two dangerous drug policy bills being proposed at the state legislature this year (so far).
🚫Criminalizing people who use drugs is harmful & ineffective.

.@atchityCO: "Due to the immense and persistent barriers to housing, employment and education that are tied to a felony conviction, all felony sentences are essentially life sentences and wreak generations of havoc on community ecosystems."

This session, 8 legislators received a 100% on our legislative scorecard. They were fearless advocates for supporting people who use substances with #CareNotCuffs, and stood with us and other harm reduction advocates in opposing HB22-1326.
(Post 2 of 2).
