SUMMARY:Taking on the Cannabis Industry and Winning - Patrick Kenneally
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Kenneally successfully sued the cannabis industry in McHenry County\, Illinois. As a result\, cannabis dispensaries are now required to warn customers of the negative health consequences with in-store signage of the mental-health dangers associated with cannabis use\, including psychosis\, depression\, and suicidal ideation. Cannabis businesses are also required to scrub their marketing and website of any suggestion that their products have medical benefits. \nMr. Kenneally believes more lawsuits are needed to protect people from the cannabis industry’s predatory practices.

SUMMARY:Young Adults’ Cannabis Recovery Support Meeting

This is a closed meeting for people who have struggled with these conditions. Attendees must be sober. We welcome newly sober newcomers seeking practical steps to stay sober and pursue a healthier life. We will not glorify the past; we will only look to learn from it. Our primary goal is to maintain sobriety\, heal from the negative\, long-lasting effects of using cannabis products\, and help others achieve sobriety. These meetings will focus on abstinence. We do not support and will not discuss any form of marijuana maintenance plan. \n\n\nThe primary formula that we follow in our discussions is P.S.A. = Problem. Solution. Action. \n\n\nThis meeting will be held online on the 2nd Wednesday of the month starting August 14\, 2024\, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm Central Time. For more information\, contact Doug Dolan at dougdolan@recoveryinthepines.com \n\n\nDoug Dolan will be the moderator for these sessions. He is in recovery\, sobriety date is April 19\, 1997.
