🍭 Big V**e doesn’t want your child to see the truth—they want them to see candy, fun, and flavors.

Today’s va**ng products aren’t designed by accident. Bright colors, sweet flavors like cotton candy and gummy bears, colorful packaging, and social media marketing are all carefully created to attract young people.

The truth is:
🧠 Ni****ne can harm the developing brain, affecting attention, learning, memory, and impulse control.
🎯 Most young people who use to***co products start with flavored products.
🚭 One v**e can contain as much ni****ne as multiple packs of ci******es, making addiction happen faster than many teens realize.
💔 What starts as “just trying it once” can quickly become a lifelong addiction.

As parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and community members, we all have a role in protecting our youth. Start the conversation. Know what va**ng devices look like. Talk openly with your kids before the to***co industry does.

Flavors are the bait. Ni****ne is the hook.

Together, we can help our youth make healthy choices and build stronger futures.

🚨 Professionals-Think you could spot the products in an over the counter location? 🚨 Recent scans in your state are highlighting efforts to make it more difficult. Especially since some companies are removing the ingredients from the front of the packaging.
At first glance, this looks like a typical convenience store with nic products, candy, disposables and some sweet treats
But look a little closer…
Hidden among everyday items are products that may contain:
⚠️ H**p
⚠️ Synthetic
⚠️Herbs
⚠️ Sharooooms
⚠️ High-potency
⚠️ “legal”
So how do you identify them?
🔎 Don’t just look for the old school words you learned about during your first into to substances 101 class twenty years ago! Many products avoid using those terms
🔎 Read the fine print. Look for ingredients that stand out or more importantly look for ingredients THAT DON’T STAND OUT but are listed next to those common items you remember from your first Tall Cop class 😉 20 years ago.
🔎 Look at the marketing.
Bright colors…
Candy flavors…
Cartoon-style packaging…
Names like “Zour,” “Baked,” “Blue Velvet,” and similar branding are often designed to grab attention.
🔎 Notice where they’re placed.
Many products are displayed right next to energy products, soda, at the counter or even candy—making them appear no different from ordinary retail items. Recently in South Carolina I found products in the cooler that didn’t stand out and looked like energy drinks.
The biggest challenge?
A parent, police officer, teacher, or prevention specialist can walk into this store and not realize that several of these products are psychoactive because they are mixed in with hundreds of legal consumer products.
This is why education today isn’t just about recognizing buds or a device. It requires understanding modern packaging, emerging ingredients, and the constantly changing marketplace.
Knowledge is one of the best prevention tools we have. “You Can’t Stop What You Don’t Know”
📍 Have you ever walked into a gas station, shop or even a shopping mall and been surprised by what was being sold? If you haven’t been in one in a while might be time to take a quick look the next time you are gassing the car!

🤔Is this methamphetamine? Fentanyl? M**h AND fentanyl?
🤔Does it contain cychlorphine, xylazine or medetomidine?
🚨The term "pick your poison" no longer applies. Poison is there whether you see it or not.

Day 3 at CADCA! ❤️

Today we wrapped up our Strategic Prevention Framework planning, and I am so proud of everything our Warrior Youth Team has learned this week. They spent half the day learning, gaining knowledge, building leadership skills, and coming up with ideas they can’t wait to bring back to our community.

After our half day of learning, we finally made it to Disney World! It was so much fun… and SO HOT! ☀️🥵 Even after sitting part of the day, we somehow still walked over 20,000 steps! We laughed, made memories, and enjoyed every minute together.

As I watched these kids experience something many of them had never done before, I couldn’t help but think of Joseph. He loved making memories with his siblings, and I know he would have been right in the middle of all the fun—probably making us laugh and convincing everyone to ride one more ride. I carried him with me all day. While I wish he was here beside us, I find comfort knowing he’s always with us in a different way.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of our community. Every fundraiser, every donation, every person who attended our fundraisers , volunteered, or simply encouraged us helped make this trip a reality. These kids know this opportunity came from a community that believes in them, and they are incredibly grateful.

Thank you for investing in our youth and believing in their future. We head home tomorrow with full hearts, tired feet, and so many ideas we’re excited to put into action for our community. We can’t wait to get to work!

Day 2 at CADCA Mid-Year Leadership!

Today was another great day of learning and growing. We continued diving into the Strategic Prevention Framework, gaining valuable knowledge about building stronger, healthier communities through planning, collaboration, and evidence-based prevention strategies.

After a day of learning, we finally got to enjoy some well-deserved fun at the water park before another storm rolled in . We also got to watch the alligators being fed, which was a pretty exciting experience and definitely something we’ll remember. It was great to see the kids relax, laugh, and make memories together.

We wrapped up the night the best way possible—with, of course, some delicious ice cream.

These youth continue to represent our community so well, balancing leadership, learning, and fun. We can’t wait to see what Day 3 has in store!

It adds up. Ready to quit? 💭🤝💙
