It's only if you disregard the warning, you continue to deal in deadly drugs, and someone dies as a result. It's only then can that admonishment be used against you to prove that burden of implies analysis. Okay. You guys were given another setback. What was that? Well, we had multiple hearings for Alexandra's law before Senate and Assembly safety committees in Sacramento.
Right, because the first run got shut down.
Alexandra's Law website. We actually have two websites. That goes to stopdrughomicide.org. And then we have alexandraslaw.info, which specifically focuses on Alexandra's Law. Very good. Very good. And what was this? That's what is documented in court records. That is provided to the defendant upon conviction. They sign it, and that will remain on their record for the rest of their lives.
We still have a long ways to go because now we have to enforce the laws. And we have made... Tremendous progress with law enforcement. But the reality is there's many law enforcement municipalities at the local level that still do not investigate these deaths as homicides or crimes. Tell me about the federal law. distribution of a controlled substance resulting in death.
The drug dealer involved in my daughter's death was eventually charged under this distribution of fentanyl resulting in death. And it's pretty simple. You distribute drugs illegally and that results in someone's death. You face a 20 year to life sentence.
That's correct. It's a false sense of security. They don't work all the time. And, you know, there are several measures, harm reduction measures that I support, but I only support them if we have a clear pathway to not just enable these people to continue using drugs, but to get them into recovery and get them help. That's right.
listen, I've never done drugs in my life, yet somehow drugs have upended my life. And for any parent to think this cannot happen to their family, to their kids, they've simply forgotten what it's like to be a teenager. There's not too many of us who grew up, and if we didn't it ourselves, we had friends who did, siblings who did. You knew people that dabbled in drugs, experimented,
you know, whatever you want to call it, partying, getting high, or just trying to deal with, you know, life's issues, depression, anxiety, and anxiety and depression these days are off the charts with young people. Absolutely.
You know, didn't bargain for this and did no better. There's no doubt my daughter was naive in her experiment, self-medicating, which I'll say. Kids today are making choices that are no different than our generation when we grew up. The difference is the drugs have changed.
Well, it would be amazing if social media, if we change the rules that protect social media. Right now, any number of crimes can take place on their platforms and they're not held accountable at all.
Stop. Supported 110%. Social media platforms are the modern playgrounds for young people. That's where they're at.
Congressman Daryl Iza is- Right here in California. Yes. In your neck of the woods. Yes. Has introduced a federal version of it. So anybody arrested on federal charges and convicted would also receive this admonishment.
And the great thing about that is state prosecutors would be able to use that to help them with state prosecutions, which is what we need because ultimately our federal agencies, they don't have the manpower to take on all these cases. Right.
Yeah, if they made sure these cases were investigated as crimes. He'll do it.
I will say this. Yeah. You know, in just the first week or two of his administration, we heard fentanyl more times than we did in the previous four years under the previous administration. So that is a plus.
All day long. One of the things people don't realize, through all this fentanyl awareness, we hear about all of the deaths, record number of deaths. What we don't hear about as much is the record levels of addiction that are taking place because of these deaths. And deaths are on the decrease. Over the last year, we have seen a bit of a decrease. Yeah, you know why that is? You know why that is?
Oh, here, what you'd like to say on that? They're dead. Yes.
Right. But what continues to fuel...
that is spreading out of hand is addiction these drugs are so addictive it is so hard to get off of these drugs your your 30 60 90 day treatment programs from what i understand and i'm no expert on addiction that's okay there's what there's one in the room um you know we're talking upwards of at least a year to get off of these drugs for your brain to rewire itself right and
And that's why we need to focus heavily on education to stop people from taking these drugs before they even start. All right. So that's that is clear.
