Consistent with our long-standing position, the Bishops of the Arizona Catholic Confer-ence remain opposed to the current initiative (Proposition 207) to legalize the recreational use of mar%uana in Arizona. While we are concerned for several reasons, our opposition is primarily rooted in the belief that making recreational mar%uana legal is harmful to both children and families in Arizona. Legalizing the recreational use of mar%uana sends a message to children that drug use is socially and morally acceptable. As people of faith, we must speak out against this effort and the damaging effects its passage would have on children and families. We already know that problematic mar%uana use is 25 percent higher among teens in states that legalized recreational mar%uana. In Arizona, this is particularly alarming because the percentage of eighth, tenth, and twelfth grade students who say they use mar%uana has already increased over the past four years as perceptions of risk have fallen. Furthermore, the most recent child fatality report for the State of Arizona listed mar%uana as a direct or contributing factor in almost as many child deaths as alcohol. The prior year, child deaths resulting from mar%uana were even higher than alcohol. For the reasons mentioned above, and others, it is anticipated that legalizing the recreational use of mar%uana in Arizona will lead to more abuse by teens, increase child fatalities, and result in more societal costs. Accordingly, due to these detrimental effects, we strongly oppose this dangerous proposal. Most Rev. Edward J. Weisenburger Bishop of Tucson Most Rev. Thomas J. Olmsted Bishop of Phoenix Most Rev.

- S E R V E - A NOTE FROM FATHER 11 OCTOBER 2020

Dear Friends,

The Catholic Bishops of Arizona have taken a position against Prop 207 (The legalization of recreational use mar%uana and hashish in AZ). They ask us as Catholics and faithful citizens to consider the harmful effects that passage of Prop 207 would bring to our young people and our communities in general. The harm is not theoretical or hypothetical but is based on the experience of US states that have legalized recreational mar%uana as well as the increased use of mar%uana in AZ since the legalization of medical mar%uana.

For instance in Colorado, the state has seen a huge increase in infants born with THC (the psychoactive agent in mar%uana), increased rates of mar%uana poisoning in children (many mar%uana products are sold in candy form, such as gummy bears), because of the very high levels of THC present in today’s mar%uana there is also a large increase in mar%uana induced psychosis and schizophrenia particularly among teens. Simply put mar%uana harms developing brains. Colorado also has seen an increase in tra!c accidents and fatalities with drivers who test positive for THC. In AZ, mar%uana was listed as a contributing factor in nearly half of child deaths involving substance use in 2017, well ahead of alcohol or any other substance. Maricopa Poison Control Center reports a ten-fold increase over the past $ve years in calls regarding young children exposed to mar%uana. Read more about Colorado’s and other states failed experiment with recreational mar%uana at www.arizonansforresponsibledrugpolicy.org

Many people confuse decriminalizing mar%uana with legalizing it for retail sale. They are not the same thing. Currently mar%uana is de facto decriminalized. Very few people are arrested, jailed and sentenced for possessing mar%uana. Law enforcement tends to look the other way unless it is a large amount and a person is selling or tra!cking it. You can check the data from the Dept. of Justice or AZ Dept. of Corrections and see that almost no one is serving time exclusively for possessing small amounts of mar%uana.

Some also think that since alcohol is legal why shouldn't mar%uana be legal for retail sale? (In AZ, Medical Mar%uana is legal for those with a physician’s diagnosis and prescription.)

Alcohol is still our biggest substance abuse problem: alcoholism, alcohol related injuries, tra!c accidents and fatalities, hospitalizations, family discord and social problems have not decreased because alcohol is legal. Adding mar%uana, another intoxicating substance to the legal list only doubles our trouble.

Prop 207 is cleverly written to be as self-serving as possible to absolve the retail mar%uana industry from conducting business without the usual oversight, regulation, or safety requirements like other businesses. As with all voter approved propositions it makes the legislatures ability to re$ne, tweak or amend the proposition very di!cult. In fact, the only way Prop 207 can be amended is by another voter approved proposition or by the state legislature with an incredible 75% majority!

Prop 207 would prevent the state from regulating mar%uana as it does alcohol. The state would not be able to regulate the THC potency levels in mar%uana products that are smoked, vaped or dabbed. It also removes the DUI standard which has been effective in removing impaired drivers from the road and prosecuting intoxicated drivers for DUID. Prop 207 makes it very di!cult to get impaired drivers off the road. Also, unlike tobacco, mar%uana will be able to advertise and market on every platform including social media, TV, radio and print.

One of the big selling points is that legalized retail mar%uana would increase tax revenue. Prop 207 conveniently caps the tax at 16% and the evidence from other states is that they never met their projected tax revenue from the sale of mar%uana. (California mar%uana retailers are very frustrated with the amount of regulations and high taxes in CA so the writers of Prop 207 made sure they eliminated those obstacles.) Part of the reason for lower than anticipated tax revenue is ironically legalized mar%uana has caused the black market to "ourish since you can get it tax free from the dope dealer. Legalization allows the black market to hide in plain sight. Additionally, while Legislatures often increase the tax on alcohol to help pay for the medical costs and social damage associated with alcohol abuse and to provide prevention and education in our schools. Prop 207 would not allow any tax increase and does not allot any tax revenue to fund K-12 education or prevention. Prop 207 drains the Medical Mar%uana Fund in AZ to zero to pay for costs associated with getting Prop 207 up and running and also to partially fund DUI Enforcement and Substance Abuse Programs. Ironically, they are tacitly admitting that our roads will have lots more intoxicated drivers and our families and communities will see an increase in substance abuse.

Workplaces that depend on a safe and sober workforce, like those in the childcare, senior care and healthcare industries will not be able to do much if their employee tests positive for mar%uana since Prop 207 creates a personal right to use mar%uana. Prop 207 makes it very di!cult for employers to maintain safe and drug-free workplaces.

The Bishops of Arizona in asking us to vote no on 207 are reminding us of our moral obligation to the common good and to the welfare of each human person, especially our vulnerable young people. Prop 207 would cause harm to many people, be it physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, increase healthcare and social costs, and contribute to further degrading our communities by fostering more substance abuse and the myriad problems that come with it.

Along with our Bishops I ask you to vote NO on 207.

Love, Fr. John B.
