A new poll from Gallup found the percentage of Americans who drink alcohol has fallen to its lowest level in history.

On the other hand: drug use is at an all-time high and young adults use marijuana more regularly than alcohol, while our youth use it at the same rate (which, before legalization, was never the case).

This is the result of years-long campaigns warning of the dangers of alcohol and nearly zero campaigns on the dangers of marijuana, which we consistently destigmatize.

What the alcohol survey shows is what previous successful drug messaging shows: when perception of risk and harm goes up, use goes down. We’ve done the opposite with marijuana and get headlines like we did last week from the New York Times: Both “Cannabis Poisonings Are Rising, Mostly Among Kids: As products like weed gummies proliferate, more children and teens are suffering symptoms including seizures and life-threatening breathing problems.”

We must do better, our inconstancy and inconsistency in the battle for our children’s health depends on it.

Conservative members of the State Financial Officers Foundation from Utah Treasurer, Marlowe Oaks to Pennsylvania Treasurer, Stacy Garrity and others, just sent a clear message to financial giants like BlackRock - If you keep attacking our energy industries, you can't do business with us.

That's right. These Red State financial officers are standing up for American industry and refusing to let woke finance dictate our future.

This is a turning point.

For too long, big asset managers have used their power to push radical climate agendas, hurting local economies and devaluing energy investments. But now states are fighting back, defending their industries, protecting jobs, and restoring common sense to capital markets.

Your values are finally being defended in the financial arena. No more silent surrender to ESG pressure.

It's time to invest in strength, not ideology.

The Wall Street Journal reports President Trump might reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous, Schedule III drug. The President should reconsider.

Marijuana harms our children and darkens their futures. In states with legal “adult use” marijuana, there’s been a 25 percent increase in marijuana use disorder among twelve-to-seventeen-year-olds, compared to states where the drug isn’t legal.

Studies show that marijuana can cause psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression. It’s a major risk factor for mental illness. Reclassifying marijuana will undermine some of the president’s key goals—including cleaning up our cities, making our nation more competitive, and getting people to work.

Big Marijuana and the drug industry have a lot of money to plead their case—and they’re willing to spend it. But their claims aren’t in the best interest of Americans.

It’s up to the president to do what’s right for our country.
