Colorado Home Grows Disaster

Jo McGuire is the Chairman of the Board for the National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association and is a Certified Professional Collector and Trainer (CPCT) and a Certified Designated Employee Representative Trainer (CDERT) who consults and trains professionals overseeing Safety Sensitive Employees in the compliance of federal DOT guidelines for drug and alcohol screening programs. She lives in Colorado.

In this 4 minute segment, Jo gives first-hand evidence of what happens when a state allows marijuana to be grown in homes. Not only does the black-market thrive, but it creates a “gray market.” Crime increases while property values decrease. What’s more, insurance companies will not cover any damages because marijuana is still a Schedule 1 Drug. Watch to learn more.

In January 2022, State Representative Carol Ammons introduced HB 4799, a bill to allow up to 5 marijuana plants to be grown in homes.

Illinois voters, take action! Please urge your state representative to vote NO on HB 4799. The Capitol switchboard number is: (217) 782-2000
