Hi, my name is Aubree Adams. Colorado's marijuana harmed my family. I and other families who have had loved ones severely harmed or who died by the effects of marijuana developed the Every Brain Matters community. We educate about the health and environmental dangers of marijuana and the drug culture expansion by providing support for families and advocacy based on lived experiences and science.

The public is being deceived regarding industrialized marijuana products and their effects, like cannabis use disorder, cannabis-induced psychosis, and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, which has led to a public health crisis. No matter how much the drug culture expands, we will “Keep On Keepin On” because we wholeheartedly know that Every Brain Matters.
