Episode #170 High Truths on Drugs and Addiction with Aubree Adams and Every Brain Matters

High Truths on Drugs and Addiction

Every Brain Matters – that is Aubree Adams mantra and purpose. Aubree Adams is a leading advocate who stands up against the predatory addiction-for-profit marijuana industry. She has a BS in Exercise Science and Health promotion but is most proud of her experience as a mom of two sons and two dogs and as a host mom for youth in recovery. She is the founder and director of Every Brain Matters, a nationally trusted educational resource formed by families with loved ones who have been severely damaged or killed by the effects of marijuana. The stories of these families are featured on the Every Brain Mattes YouTube channel and the It’s Just Pot What’s The Problem?Podcast. This former Pueblo, Colorado, mom lived at ground zero of the marijuana expansion movement. She has shared her devastating first-hand experience about this public health crisis before the FDA, The National Academy of Science, and in the documentary Chronic State. She has testified in many state governments, asking them to embrace healthy communities and families rather than the expansion of drugs. Aubree has been nationally featured on Fox News and Newsmax along with her op-eds published in USA Today and the Denver Gazette entitled “Standing up to the Threat of Marijuana.” After finding refuge and recovery for herself and her two sons in Houston, Texas, Aubree formed a group called Citizens for a Safe and Healthy Texas to unite and educate communities on the impacts of marijuana and warn Texas about THC Hemp products, which were legalized through the 2018 Federal Farm Bill. Citizens for a Safe and Healthy Texas helped prevent several marijuana bills from advancing during the 2023 legislative session. Aubree states that families and communities are unprepared for this era of industrialized marijuana that targets youth with flavored candies and vapes that provide a rapid and potent chemical assault to the brain. Families lack the resources to prevent, manage, or recover from a child or loved one addicted or psychotic from cannabis. Aubree rejects the false narrative that potent marijuana is a harmless expression of personal freedom. Based on the latest scientific evidence and personal stories, she states that THC is a dangerous and addictive drug, and like all drugs of abuse, it can destroy lives.
