Today I joined Arkansas Tech University President Dr. Russell Jones to announce the kickoff of the One Pill Can Kill initiative at Arkansas Tech. This is the seventh campus in Arkansas to join the initiative. ATU’s involvement will play a crucial role in educating college students about the dangers of fentanyl and empowering them to take action to prevent its devastating impact on young lives.

In addition to announcing the kickoff, we are providing training for student leaders today that will equip them to recognize an overdose and know how to respond, as well as providing testing kits to be able to detect fentanyl in medications or beverages. ATU will also soon receive a vending machine where students, faculty, and staff can access free units of naloxone, commonly known as Narcan. The vending machine, training, and other materials are all funded by opioid settlement dollars managed by my office on behalf of the state. https://tinyurl.com/ywd3jxpv

The packaging of cannab*s edibles look like popular food brands we eat, making them easily mistakable for regular snacks and treats. With back-to-school season here, take time to talk with your kids about these look-a-like products and the risks they pose.

Keep edibles stored away, up high, and out of reach of children, preferable in a locked cabinet.

If you or a child accidentally eats something containing THC or CBD, call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222 or use the Get Help tool on PoisonHelp.org. Poison Help provides fast, free, expert advice 24/7.
