– Difficulty with critical thinking skills like attention, problem solving and memory
Impaired reaction time and coordination, especially as it relates to driving
– Decline in school performance
Increased risk of mental health issues including depression or anxiety and in some cases, psychosis where there is a family history of it

——————————————

Cannabis (marijuana) is a mind-altering psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis plant, containing over 400 chemicals including THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), which is considered the main psychoactive-inducing compound.

Cannabis is currently a federally illegal (Schedule I) drug, and is recreationally illegal in most States. Over the past decade, cannabis has become increasingly accessible for medical purposes, although the U.S. FDA has not approved this drug for medical benefit.

Cannabis is considered the most widely abused illicit drug in the United States, and ranked as the second highest use in the world. However, impacts on public health and law enforcement have raised concerns related to newly adopted or considered cannabis policies on State and Local levels.

Township of Raritan, Hunterdon County, NJ – Ordinance #19-25

RVCC amended the college’s smoking policy to provide a healthier working environment for the College community.

The policy prohibits the use of all tobacco products, vaping devices, electronic cigarettes, or any other form of ingestion of tobacco products by students, staff, faculty and visitors anywhere on the college campus; including all buildings, on the grounds of the campus, in college leased vehicles, at sporting events or at any other indoor or outdoor event or activity. 

The college has subsequently been awarded a grant to promote, implement and evaluate the policy. 

Breathe Easy signs have been posted at entrances and throughout the campus.

One Voice (faith based coalition) chose Vaping as their topic this year for their annual weekend launch, where faith leaders disseminate critical information to their congregations.

A summit was held on June 11, 2018 to address teen vaping, a topic which the CDC recognizes as an epidemic. The intent of One Voice is to educate faith leaders on a topic of concern, provide information and tools and then on one weekend, October 18-20, 2019 – all places of worship will address this topic with “one voice” in order to raise awareness and enact positive change.
