Sticker Shock Campaign
Labor Day weekend JTAC held a Sticker Shock Campaign. However because of COVID 19 we decided instead of labeling the package goods inside of the store, it would be safer for us to purchase and label the brown paper bags and then donate them to multiple liquor stores for them to use over the holiday weekend. We distributed roughly 3000 bags.

"Say Nope 2 Dope"
"Don't be fooled by the medical marijuana smokescreen. Every state that has legalized recreational marijuana started by passing seemingly harmless “medical marijuana” laws."
