Quiet sub so doesn't matter much but will do my part to help keep the API open. Let me know any thoughts or questions you might have.

As a teacher, what organizations should I get involved with?

What is the consensus on organizations like the TSTA, ATPE, UEA, TCTA, AFT, etc.?

What of regional organizations? (any region really to benefit others with similar questions, but for me specifically in the RGV)

In my community, minimum wage workers spend 55.03%, or $3.99, of their hourly pay for a gallon of regular gas when they go to the pumps at the gas stations down the street.

We could say that leaves the worker $3.26 an hour to go toward housing, utilities, food, medical care and medicine, clothing, and other necessities.

Now, here is another negative to being a "contract" worker at the place where you used to be an employee before you were outsourced: The nurse's clinic is not allowed to take your blood pressure. I guess liability concerns trump the Hippocratic Oath.

Looking for one or two mods. Message me with why you want to mod and why you should be allowed to.

I sent the senator a (longshot) letter on supporting a more informed stance on cannabis, and his reply back reveals his regressive stance on cannabis.

Enjoy. Maybe send him a letter or give him a call or whatever.

Dear nefastvs:

Thank you for contacting me regarding federal laws on marijuana. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this important matter.

In recent years, several states have legalized marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes. While I respect the rights of states to set their own policies regarding the health and safety of their citizens, I believe more research should be conducted before the federal government changes current marijuana policies. Regular use of marijuana has been associated with psychiatric and neurological disorders, as well as a risk of developing dependence. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Office of Behavioral Health Sciences found in 2016 that 16,886 Texans who entered substance use treatment cited marijuana as their primary substance of abuse. This number represents 22.8 percent of the total population of Texans who sought treatment in 2016, making marijuana the second most prevalent substance behind alcohol for substance use disorder treatment. In addition, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) published in the annual study examining drug use among young Americans titled "Monitoring the Future", NIDA found marijuana use among 12th grade students remains at roughly 35 percent.

Mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment have been found in those who use marijuana. Marijuana use also has similar effects on adolescent brain development as other addictive substances. Further, marijuana use among pregnant mothers can result in adverse health effects for the baby in lower birth weight and stymie fetal brain development. We must further understand the public health risks associated with marijuana use. As Chairman of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control, I will continue to work with my colleagues to better understand the health effects of marijuana and other substances.

From 1999 to 2020, more than 920,000 Americans died from a drug overdose. This epidemic kills Americans from every socio-economic class, educational background, and community. Reducing addiction to prescription opioids and combating the influx of illicit narcotics in our communities is critical to helping patients in distress and fighting back against criminal cartels. Reasonable minds can disagree, but I am concerned that marijuana legalization could make this epidemic worse. I am committed to working with my colleagues to end the opioid epidemic and save lives.

In an effort to combat the scourge of illicit drugs in our communities, I authored the Substance Abuse Prevention Act (S. 2789; 115th Congress), which reauthorized the Office of National Drug Control Policy and important drug demand reduction programs at the Department of Justice. More specifically, S. 2789 provides critical funding for programs that prevent youth substance abuse disorder, reduce demand for illicit drugs in our communities, and provide crucial assistance for drug addiction recovery in the criminal justice system. S. 2789 also provides critical resources for High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Forces to support federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies that are working to remove illegal drugs from our communities. The Substance Abuse Prevention Act was included in the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act (P.L. 115-271), which I supported and the President signed into law on October 24, 2018.

I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texas in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contacting me.

Sincerely,

JOHN CORNYN
