  • A ban on the illicit sale of drugs, directly or indirectly, such as smoke shops.
  • A ban on any marijuana smoke that can contaminate the air of people and/or properties.
  • Full information (including manufacturers' package insert) on medications and vaccines (including the PA vaccine "opt-out" option for students) and how they can affect our health and drinking water.
  • Requiring Department of Parks & Recreation to do the following: 1) End the use of toxic turf (See SaveTheMeadows.com), and 2) End the use of toxic chemicals on public property per the HOPS Act (See ToxicFreePhilly.org).
