Reminder: The Opioid Project is in Hudson Town Hall until May 30th. If you've got some town business to handle, spend a moment looking at the art on the wall, which shares the experience of those who support or lost someone struggling with addiction.

Headline: Sometimes marijuana is really crappy.

A report in Spain says the contamination is due to the way hashish is smuggled into the country.
Among youth...“The evidence base was large enough and consistent enough and strong enough to conclude that there’s an association between e-cigarette use and ever-use of combustible tobacco [cigarettes],”
A very interesting article that really breaks down some of the scientific conclusions behind vaping and makes them more understandable. Great starting place for youth and parents.

E-cigarettes are safer than cigarettes but that doesn’t mean they’re harmless.
We would like to take a moment and send out a big thank you to everyone who attended, participated in, and volunteered to make our Dodgeball Tournament a reality. We appreciate the incredible support of the people who live, play, work and worship as part of the Hudson community.

"In it, suit-clad sales reps rap to the tune of a song by the artist A$AP Rocky about titration, the process of increasing the strength of a patient’s prescription until it reaches the adequate level."
Substance addiction is not a moral failing on behalf of individuals, but rather the result of a culture within drug companies that pushed doctors to prescribe higher and higher doses of an addictive substance to their patients.

The video is the latest eyebrow-raising piece of evidence in the trial, which has put a spotlight on the federal government's efforts to go after those it says are responsible for fueling the deadly drug crisis.
We are still looking for 1 more volunteer referee for our Dodgeball Tournament. Send us a message if you are interested in learning more!
Yeah... that’s basically it.

As the State of Massachusetts considers whether or not to pursue supervised injection sites, we invite folks to take a look at some of the pros and cons of a complex issue.
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/09/07/645609248/whats-the-evidence-that-supervised-drug-injection-sites-save-lives
Proposals in several cities to offer drug users access to a safe space to consume drugs have caused a political stir, but what do we really know about the effectiveness of safe injection sites?
Happy New Year, Hudson! Our resolution is to bring even more prevention programming to Hudson in 2019. What is your resolution?
We believe that youth substance use prevention goes beyond health education. We don't just teach people about different drugs, like alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and opioids. We also build skills among adults in our communities about how to support youth and let them flourish.
