<p>James Thomas&#8217; hips began to bother him three or four years after his joint replacement surgery.  He turned to medical marijuana and is still testing the right formulation.</p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t found the right marijuana yet,&#8221; said the 69-year-old retired heavy machinery operator from Wilkinsburg.  He tried a spray and smoked flowers, a consumer preference.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s just say it was kind of mild and the spray was about the same,&#8221; he said.  ?It made me a lot nicer, smiled, joked, and maybe even talked more than I usually do.  It always lifted me up. &#8220;</p>
<p>It also relieved his hip pain, he said.</p>
<p>Thanks to consumers like Thomas and the prospect of legalized recreational marijuana in the state, Pennsylvania&#8217;s cannabis industry is on the rise.  The market has totaled $ 3.4 billion in sales since 2018, according to the state&#8217;s Medical Marijuana Advisory Board.  Pharmacies made $ 2 billion in those sales.</p>
<p>Since marijuana was legalized for the treatment of serious illnesses in Pennsylvania in 2016, 633,557 patients and caregivers have enrolled because a doctor&#8217;s prescription is required to purchase.</p>
<p>And if recreational marijuana is legalized in Pennsylvania, sales could quickly more than double if the Illinois experience is a benchmark.</p>
<p>Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Pablo Zuanic doesn&#8217;t think this will happen until the first quarter of 2025 as the state&#8217;s Republican-controlled legislation hasn&#8217;t shown much interest.  But legalizing recreational use in nearby states &#8211; New Jersey and possibly Maryland &#8211; could force the hand of lawmakers, Zuanic wrote to investors.</p>
<p>The bad news is, without legal recreational use, the growing number of pharmacies in Pennsylvania &#8211; 131 are now open &#8211; will dampen overall sales, Zuanic wrote.  The silver lining for consumers to have more stores, however, is lower prices, said John Collins, director of the state&#8217;s medical marijuana agency.</p>
<p>&#8220;More branches create more competition,&#8221; he said at the board meeting.  &#8220;You would expect that to happen.&#8221;</p>
<p>For example, the retail price of a gram of medical marijuana fell to $ 14.53 in July, from $ 15.67 per gram in January 2020, due to the sales boom.</p>
<p>Consolidate cannabis companies</p>
<p>The Illinois experience can be a glimpse into the future of Pennsylvania.  In Illinois, the total cannabis market more than doubled in the first month after recreational use was legalized in January 2020, Zuanic said.  Factors that can tarnish predictions of sales for medical to recreational activities include product access, affordability and range, and availability in nearby states.</p>
<p>Governor Tom Wolf and Lt.  Gov.  John Fetterman endorsed recreational marijuana legalization, which may help explain Pennsylvania&#8217;s appeal to pot investors.  This year has been particularly busy for mergers and acquisitions in the state.</p>
<p>Between March and April alone, there were half a dozen deals worth $ 438 million to acquire cultivation facilities and retail rights, with Chicago-based Verano Holdings Corp.  and the Trulieve Cannabis Corp.  according to Marijuana Business Daily, a trade that publishes the top players based in Denver, Colorado.</p>
<p>Verano acquired three pharmacies in Cranberry Twp., Washington, and Monroeville for $ 110.3 million and then acquired Agri-Kind&#8217;s growing and processing facility in Chester.  Verano also acquired Agronomed Biologics for $ 60 million, including cultivation, processing, and retail rights.</p>
<p>Over the same three-month period, Florida-based Trulieve, which operates Solevo pharmacies in Squirrel Hill, Washington and Zelienople, paid $ 60 million for a pharmacy license under Keystone Shops.  Keystone has three locations in the Philadelphia area.</p>
<p>And in July, Florida-based Parallel opened its first pharmacy in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Friendship under the company&#8217;s Goodblend banner, with plans for another store in Erie.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no difference between marijuana used for medicinal or recreational purposes today, but that will change as the fledgling industry matures, said Nushin Rashidian, co-founder and publisher of Cannabis Wire, a news service with offices in Brooklyn, New York.  In the coming years there will be products that are tailored to therapeutic and recreational uses.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of overlap right now,&#8221; she said with the same regulators for both uses, the same marijuana supplier, &#8220;but that&#8217;s not going to last.&#8221;</p>
<p>?In 10 or 20 years there will be a fork,? she said.  ?There will be much more sophisticated wording on both sides.  It&#8217;s a huge, huge, huge field, and I think we&#8217;re at the very beginning. &#8220;</p>

<p>Hemp oil is gentle enough to be applied directly to the skin and can be used as a carrier oil for stronger ingredients.  The fatty acids in hemp oil help relieve dryness &#8211; and like any moisturizer, it&#8217;s most effective on damp skin.
</p>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_2-0-9" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">
<p>Steam opens the pores and allows the product to penetrate deeper.  For a DIY hemp oil steam facial, clean your face and massage a tablespoon of oil into it while it&#8217;s still damp.  Hold a clean washcloth under hot water, ring the bell, and place it on your face for a few minutes.  When the towel has cooled, wipe off any excess oil and massage the rest into your skin.

<p>Hemp oil is edible and therefore completely safe to use as a lip care product.  This natural balm can be used in place of store-bought products, which often contain petroleum jelly, parabens, phthalates, and artificial fragrances.  It&#8217;s also a great Christmas present, considering the recipe is enough to fill roughly seven 1.5-ounce lip balm containers.

<p>Because of its high fatty acid content, you will be surprised to find that hemp oil is a &#8220;dry oil&#8221;, meaning one that is quickly absorbed by the skin.  It leaves no sticky residue and is non-comedogenic, which makes it a perfect serum ingredient.  Mix two parts rose hip oil with three parts grape seed oil and five parts hemp oil for a moisturizing, but not greasy, facial serum.  Add a few drops of essential skin care oil like lavender or tea tree for extra fragrance and nutrients.

However, a pH of around nine or higher means that it is significantly more alkaline than the skin (which has a pH of around five) and, therefore, can destroy the skin&#8217;s protective lipid barrier.<span class="ql-inline-citation" data-cite="6"/> To keep this barrier intact, dilute one tablespoon of castile soap with one teaspoon of hemp oil and 10 tablespoons of water when using it on your skin.

<p>This hair mask made from hemp oil, avocado and coconut oil nourishes and nourishes the scalp thoroughly while it envelops the strands with fatty acids, protecting them from environmental damage and promoting shine.  Made mostly from standard kitchen ingredients, it&#8217;s refreshingly simple, cheap, and light enough to indulge your mane with once a week.

<p>To prepare it, mix half an avocado, pureed, with half a teaspoon each of hemp oil and coconut oil.  Apply a generous amount to your hair, cover the strands from root to end and rinse off after 30 minutes.  (Pro tip: you can replace the avocado with a banana.)

<p>August 25, 2021</p>
<p>Come to the City Council meeting on Wednesday September 1st or Wednesday September 22nd to give your opinion on the decision on whether or not the City of Mamaroneck should refuse to sell and use local cannabis in relation to Recent New York Non-state cannabis legislation, Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA).</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>Background:</strong></p>
<p>On March 31, 2021, Governor Cuomo signed the New York Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (the &#8220;MRTA&#8221;), which was enacted with the aim of creating a regulated and taxed cannabis industry in New York.  While adult cannabis sales are not expected until late 2022 or early 2023, the following provisions took effect immediately.  Anyone aged 21 and over can:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>(a) own, display, purchase, acquire, or transport up to 3 ounces of cannabis and up to 24 grams of concentrated cannabis;</p>
<p>(b) transfer up to 3 ounces of cannabis and up to 24 grams of concentrated cannabis to another person aged 21 and over without compensation;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>(c) use, smoke, ingest or consume cannabis or concentrated cannabis, except as prohibited by state law;</p>
<p>(d) Possess, use, display, buy, acquire, manufacture, transport or pass on to a person aged 21 or over cannabis paraphernalia or concentrated cannabis paraphernalia;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>What can local communities control under the MRTA?</strong></p>
<p>Little control was granted to local communities under the MRTA.  In principle, municipalities have two options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ban retail pharmacies and on-site consumption establishments within their jurisdiction <strong>Exit from the MRTA</strong></li>
<li>Establish parameters in which these types of business could function within their limits.  If such branches are allowed within a municipality, a municipality can <strong>Issue regulations on time, place and type of activity, </strong>as long as they do not make the operation of such licensed retail pharmacies or on-site consumption points unreasonably impracticable.  m<strong>Municipalities receive 75% of the local excise tax </strong>in connection with the sale of cannabis in the community.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What does it mean for a community to opt out?</strong></p>
<p>? Local communities have the right to de-register from the MRTA, which means that no retail pharmacies and on-site consumption facilities are allowed to be set up within their boundaries.  To opt out, a municipality must enact local law before December 31, 2021.</p>
<p>? If a municipality deregisters from the MRTA, it can re-enroll at a later date.</p>
<p>? If a community does not opt ??out before the December 31, 2021 deadline, the community will not be able to opt out in the future and must allow licensed retail pharmacies and on-site consumption facilities indefinitely.</p>
<p><strong>What restrictions does the MRTA impose and what are the benefits for the communities?</strong></p>
<p>? The MRTA calls for the creation of a Cannabis Control Board and Office of Cannabis Management that would function similarly to the New York State Liquor Authority.  These agencies would set the rules for operating and licensing requirements for cannabis-related facilities.</p>
<p>? These two agencies have not yet appointed members.  It will be some time before they can enact rules or regulations.  As a result, cannabis-related facilities are expected to be out of service before late 2022 or early 2023.</p>
<p>? Local excise tax is levied on the sale of cannabis products through a retail outlet.  The tax is 4% of the product price.  This tax is distributed to local governments based on where the retail outlet is located.  The municipality in which the sale takes place receives 75% of the tax levied and the district government receives the remaining 25%.  </p>
<p><strong>Where does the city of Mamaroneck stand in the decision-making process?</strong></p>
<p>? The city council has not yet made a decision.  Before we make a decision, we want to hear from the city&#8217;s residents what they think and feel about selling cannabis.  Please come to the September City Council meetings (Wednesday September 1 or Wednesday September 22) to share your feedback during the Citizens Comments of the City Council meeting at 8:00 p.m. in the city center courtroom. <a href="https://www.townofmamaroneckny.org/501/Agendas-and-Minutes" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please visit our website for more session details.</a></p>
<p>? Local residents can also provide feedback directly to Nancy Seligson, Mayor, via email <a href="https://www.townofmamaroneckny.org/mailto:supervisor@townofmamaroneckny.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Supervisor@townofmamaroneckny.org</a> .  All email submissions should be received by Wednesday, September 22nd, close of business.</p>

<p>COACHELLA, California. ? Leoncio Antonio Trejo Galdamez, de 58 años, murió en brazos de su hijo el 29 de junio después de pasar el día colocando tuberías de riego en el Valle de Coachella, en California. Otra víctima de un negocio peligroso, la noticia de su muerte resonó en la comunidad mayoritariamente latina cerca de las fronteras de México y Arizona.</p>
<p>?Los trabajadores agrícolas están en la primera línea del cambio climático. Y, en algunos casos, estamos viendo una tormenta perfecta azotando a nuestros trabajadores: covid-19, humo y el calor de los incendios forestales?, dijo Leydy Rangel, vocera de la United Farm Workers Foundation (UFW).</p>
<p>Para trabajadores como Trejo Galdamez, que realizan sus tareas al aire libre, unos pocos grados pueden significar la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte. Aquí, los trabajadores agrícolas usan camisas de manga larga, jeans gruesos, botas pesadas y sombreros de ala ancha para protegerse del calor. Aun así, con frecuencia hay que llamar a la ambulancia.</p>
<p>?El calor se siente horrible?, dijo Jaime Isidoro, de 36 años. ?Empiezas a trabajar, empiezas a sudar y la camiseta se empapa?.</p>
<p>El trabajador agrícola Jaime Isidoro ha estado trabajando en los campos de California desde que emigró de Puebla, México, en el año 2000. Dice que la mayoría de los trabajadores agrícolas usan una camiseta delgada debajo de la ropa para combatir el calor. ?Empiezas a trabajar, empiezas a sudar, y la camiseta se empapa, y te sientes fresco cuando estás bañado en sudor?.<span class="photo-credit">(Heidi de Marco / KHN)</span></p>
<p>Nacido en Puebla, México, Isidoro ha estado recolectando cultivos durante dos décadas en el Valle de Coachella. La región tiene una de las temporadas de cultivo más largas del país y proporciona la mayoría de las hortalizas de invierno de los Estados Unidos. También alberga cientos de granjas de dátiles, que crecen en el clima cálido y seco.</p>
<p>Aquí, el calor es un hecho.</p>
<p>?Hace unos años, me empezó a doler la cabeza. Empecé a tener escalofríos. Fui a la clínica y me pusieron un par de inyecciones?, contó Isidoro. ?Me dijeron que era un golpe de calor. No conoces los síntomas. No sabía que era eso hasta que lo tuve?.</p>

							Isidoro planta árboles frutales en su jardín durante su tiempo libre y dijo que ha notado que los veranos se vuelven más calurosos cada año. ?Esta es la primera vez que este árbol de guayaba da frutos?, dijo. ?Esperaba una buena cosecha, pero el calor es demasiado alto y está quemando la fruta?.						<span class="photo-credit">(Heidi de Marco / KHN)</span></p>
<p>Y las temperaturas son cada vez más extremas.</p>
<p>El 4 de agosto, tres de las comunidades desérticas de la región superaron sus récords diarios registrados, alcanzando los 122 grados Fahrenheit en Palm Springs y Thermal, y los 120 en Indio. Thermal estableció un récord para su temperatura más alta en agosto, cuando se elevó a 121 grados. California registró los meses de junio y julio más calurosos.</p>
<p>El calor es la principal causa de muerte relacionada con el clima en los Estados Unidos. Entre 1992 y 2017, el estrés por calor mató a 815 trabajadores estadounidenses y lesionó gravemente a más de 70,000, según la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales.</p>
<p>En California, las visitas a las salas de emergencia relacionadas con el calor aumentaron un 35% entre 2005 y 2015, el último año para el que hay datos disponibles, con aumentos desproporcionados entre las comunidades negras no hispanas, latinas y asiático-americanas.</p>
<p>El personal médico del Valle de Coachella dice que ha estado tratando a un número creciente de pacientes que sufren de agotamiento por calor o insolación en los últimos años.</p>
<p>En 2018, California registró 6,152 visitas a salas de emergencias debido a enfermedades relacionadas con el calor. El condado de Riverside, que incluye Coachella, Indio y Palm Springs, tiene una de las tasas más altas de visitas a emergencias vinculadas al calor en el estado.</p>
<p>?Si comenzamos a ver más de 120 grados en cualquier capacidad normal, realmente estamos en un territorio desconocido. El cuerpo humano no está diseñado para existir en ese tipo de calor?, dijo el doctor Andrew Kassinove, médico del departamento de emergencias y jefe de personal del JFK Memorial Hospital en Indio.</p>
<p>El hospital trata regularmente a las personas que trabajan al aire libre por agotamiento por calor, que se caracteriza por náuseas, aturdimiento, fatiga, calambres musculares y mareos. Con menos frecuencia ven insolación, una condición más peligrosa cuyos síntomas incluyen dolor de cabeza, confusión, vómitos, frecuencia cardíaca rápida, desmayos y falta de sudoración.</p>
<p>?Las temperaturas corporales basales que son realmente elevadas requieren ser tratadas con medidas para salvar vidas?, dijo Kassinove. A medida que las temperaturas se elevan por encima de la temperatura humana típica de 98,6 grados Fahrenheit, el cuerpo lucha por disipar el calor.</p>
<p>California tiene algunas de las protecciones laborales más estrictas contra el agotamiento por calor. Una norma adoptada por los funcionarios de seguridad laboral en 2006 fue la primera en el país en aplicarse a todos los trabajos al aire libre, obligando a las empresas a proporcionar a los trabajadores espacios con sombra, tiempo de descanso y agua adecuados.</p>
<p>Después que una histórica ola de calor azotara el noroeste del Pacífico en junio, Oregon y Washington adoptaron protecciones similares. Algunos miembros del Congreso han presentado un proyecto de ley similar y quieren que el Departamento de Trabajo establezca estándares federales.</p>
<p>Pero los grupos de derechos de los trabajadores dicen que las reglas no siempre se hacen cumplir. Y los trabajadores agrícolas, que están desesperados por el dinero y a menudo se les paga por pieza durante la cosecha, muchas veces pasan por alto su propia seguridad, dicen.</p>
<p>?Es poco probable que los trabajadores agrícolas presenten quejas?, dijo Rangel de la UFW. Sin asistencia federal durante la pandemia, ?no tenían otra opción, tenían que seguir presentándose al trabajo si querían alimentar a su familia?.</p>
<p>Los latinos, que representan la mayoría de los trabajadores agrícolas de California, son como grupo más propensos a tener afecciones que pueden agravarse por el calor, como presión arterial alta y enfermedad renal.</p>
<p>Los trabajadores de salud enfatizan la importancia de la hidratación e instan a los trabajadores a consumir menos refrescos, café y alcohol que son deshidratantes, dijo el enfermero José Banuelos del Central Neighborhood Health Foundation, de Coachella. ?No puedes cambiar tu trabajo si es al aire libre. Pero le digo a la gente que use protector solar y una capa protectora?.</p>
<p>El calor también puede afectar el uso de medicamentos. Los antipsicóticos y antidepresivos, por ejemplo, pueden reducir la sed y, por lo tanto, causar deshidratación, al igual que los diuréticos, que a veces se toman para la hinchazón.</p>
<p>Isidoro, quien dijo que está buscando otros trabajos, a menudo ve a sus compañeros de tareas luchando en los campos. Si se sienten mareados, pueden sentarse a la sombra o subirse a un camión cercano para que le pongan aire acondicionado, o llamar al 911 si los síntomas persisten.</p>
<p>Pero es un motivo de orgullo no mostrar que el calor te está afectando, dijo, y las llamadas para descansar a menudo se reciben con risas.</p>
<p>Alrededor de Bakersfield, mientras se recogen uvas durante la cosecha de verano y otoño, las ambulancias son un espectáculo habitual, dijo Isidoro. ?Todos los días se escucha: ?Aquí viene la ambulancia? o ?Fulano de tal se fue temprano porque se sintió enfermo??.</p>

<p>Pero muchos trabajadores ignoran las señales de advertencia, dijo Aguileo Rangel Rojas, otro trabajador agrícola. ?Están bien arriesgando su salud, sin pensar en eso, para asegurarse de que pueden ganar un salario?.</p>
<p>Rangel Rojas conoce demasiado bien los riesgos. En 2005, su hijo de 15 años, Cruz, sufrió un golpe de calor mientras recogía uvas. Pasó 15 días en el hospital y la familia no estaba segura si sobreviviría. Los ojos de Rojas se llenaron de lágrimas al recordarlo.</p>
<p>?No teníamos dinero. No hablábamos inglés. Sin auto. Sin nada?, dijo. ?No conocíamos nuestros derechos. Puede arrancarte el corazón?.</p>

							Dijo que está acostumbrado a trabajar con calor, lluvia y tormentas eléctricas. ?El trabajo es inhumano, nos tratan como animales?, dijo. ?Seguimos trabajando porque no sabemos nada más?.						<span class="photo-credit">(Heidi de Marco / KHN)</span></p>
<p>Después de la emergencia, Cruz dejó de recolectar y volvió a la escuela secundaria; ahora es un empleado de UFW. Su padre, ahora de 53 años, todavía trabaja en el campo con su esposa.</p>
<p>En agosto, Rangel Rojas comenzó a trabajar por las noches, cuando las temperaturas bajan a los 80 grados. Pero incluso sin calor extremo, existen riesgos. La evaporación de los cultivos se mantiene espesa en el aire, creando una humedad que puede provocar tormentas eléctricas e inundaciones repentinas.</p>
<p>Un relámpago brilló a su alrededor mientras estaba cortando apio en un tractor en un amanecer reciente.</p>
<p>?Nos puede alcanzar un rayo en cualquier momento y todos podríamos morir?, dijo. ?Debería poder ocurrir que esté lloviendo y los jefes nos pidan que dejemos de trabajar, pero no lo hacen. No podemos darnos el lujo de sentarnos detrás de un escritorio?.</p>

<p>COACHELLA, California. ? Leoncio Antonio Trejo Galdamez, de 58 años, murió en brazos de su hijo el 29 de junio después de pasar el día colocando tuberías de riego en el Valle de Coachella, en California. Otra víctima de un negocio peligroso, la noticia de su muerte resonó en la comunidad mayoritariamente latina cerca de las fronteras de México y Arizona.</p>
<p>?Los trabajadores agrícolas están en la primera línea del cambio climático. Y, en algunos casos, estamos viendo una tormenta perfecta azotando a nuestros trabajadores: covid-19, humo y el calor de los incendios forestales?, dijo Leydy Rangel, vocera de la United Farm Workers Foundation (UFW).</p>
<p>Para trabajadores como Trejo Galdamez, que realizan sus tareas al aire libre, unos pocos grados pueden significar la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte. Aquí, los trabajadores agrícolas usan camisas de manga larga, jeans gruesos, botas pesadas y sombreros de ala ancha para protegerse del calor. Aun así, con frecuencia hay que llamar a la ambulancia.</p>
<p>?El calor se siente horrible?, dijo Jaime Isidoro, de 36 años. ?Empiezas a trabajar, empiezas a sudar y la camiseta se empapa?.</p>
<p>El trabajador agrícola Jaime Isidoro ha estado trabajando en los campos de California desde que emigró de Puebla, México, en el año 2000. Dice que la mayoría de los trabajadores agrícolas usan una camiseta delgada debajo de la ropa para combatir el calor. ?Empiezas a trabajar, empiezas a sudar, y la camiseta se empapa, y te sientes fresco cuando estás bañado en sudor?.<span class="photo-credit">(Heidi de Marco / KHN)</span></p>
<p>Nacido en Puebla, México, Isidoro ha estado recolectando cultivos durante dos décadas en el Valle de Coachella. La región tiene una de las temporadas de cultivo más largas del país y proporciona la mayoría de las hortalizas de invierno de los Estados Unidos. También alberga cientos de granjas de dátiles, que crecen en el clima cálido y seco.</p>
<p>Aquí, el calor es un hecho.</p>
<p>?Hace unos años, me empezó a doler la cabeza. Empecé a tener escalofríos. Fui a la clínica y me pusieron un par de inyecciones?, contó Isidoro. ?Me dijeron que era un golpe de calor. No conoces los síntomas. No sabía que era eso hasta que lo tuve?.</p>

							Isidoro planta árboles frutales en su jardín durante su tiempo libre y dijo que ha notado que los veranos se vuelven más calurosos cada año. ?Esta es la primera vez que este árbol de guayaba da frutos?, dijo. ?Esperaba una buena cosecha, pero el calor es demasiado alto y está quemando la fruta?.						<span class="photo-credit">(Heidi de Marco / KHN)</span></p>
<p>Y las temperaturas son cada vez más extremas.</p>
<p>El 4 de agosto, tres de las comunidades desérticas de la región superaron sus récords diarios registrados, alcanzando los 122 grados Fahrenheit en Palm Springs y Thermal, y los 120 en Indio. Thermal estableció un récord para su temperatura más alta en agosto, cuando se elevó a 121 grados. California registró los meses de junio y julio más calurosos.</p>
<p>El calor es la principal causa de muerte relacionada con el clima en los Estados Unidos. Entre 1992 y 2017, el estrés por calor mató a 815 trabajadores estadounidenses y lesionó gravemente a más de 70,000, según la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales.</p>
<p>En California, las visitas a las salas de emergencia relacionadas con el calor aumentaron un 35% entre 2005 y 2015, el último año para el que hay datos disponibles, con aumentos desproporcionados entre las comunidades negras no hispanas, latinas y asiático-americanas.</p>
<p>El personal médico del Valle de Coachella dice que ha estado tratando a un número creciente de pacientes que sufren de agotamiento por calor o insolación en los últimos años.</p>
<p>En 2018, California registró 6,152 visitas a salas de emergencias debido a enfermedades relacionadas con el calor. El condado de Riverside, que incluye Coachella, Indio y Palm Springs, tiene una de las tasas más altas de visitas a emergencias vinculadas al calor en el estado.</p>
<p>?Si comenzamos a ver más de 120 grados en cualquier capacidad normal, realmente estamos en un territorio desconocido. El cuerpo humano no está diseñado para existir en ese tipo de calor?, dijo el doctor Andrew Kassinove, médico del departamento de emergencias y jefe de personal del JFK Memorial Hospital en Indio.</p>
<p>El hospital trata regularmente a las personas que trabajan al aire libre por agotamiento por calor, que se caracteriza por náuseas, aturdimiento, fatiga, calambres musculares y mareos. Con menos frecuencia ven insolación, una condición más peligrosa cuyos síntomas incluyen dolor de cabeza, confusión, vómitos, frecuencia cardíaca rápida, desmayos y falta de sudoración.</p>
<p>?Las temperaturas corporales basales que son realmente elevadas requieren ser tratadas con medidas para salvar vidas?, dijo Kassinove. A medida que las temperaturas se elevan por encima de la temperatura humana típica de 98,6 grados Fahrenheit, el cuerpo lucha por disipar el calor.</p>
<p>California tiene algunas de las protecciones laborales más estrictas contra el agotamiento por calor. Una norma adoptada por los funcionarios de seguridad laboral en 2006 fue la primera en el país en aplicarse a todos los trabajos al aire libre, obligando a las empresas a proporcionar a los trabajadores espacios con sombra, tiempo de descanso y agua adecuados.</p>
<p>Después que una histórica ola de calor azotara el noroeste del Pacífico en junio, Oregon y Washington adoptaron protecciones similares. Algunos miembros del Congreso han presentado un proyecto de ley similar y quieren que el Departamento de Trabajo establezca estándares federales.</p>
<p>Pero los grupos de derechos de los trabajadores dicen que las reglas no siempre se hacen cumplir. Y los trabajadores agrícolas, que están desesperados por el dinero y a menudo se les paga por pieza durante la cosecha, muchas veces pasan por alto su propia seguridad, dicen.</p>
<p>?Es poco probable que los trabajadores agrícolas presenten quejas?, dijo Rangel de la UFW. Sin asistencia federal durante la pandemia, ?no tenían otra opción, tenían que seguir presentándose al trabajo si querían alimentar a su familia?.</p>
<p>Los latinos, que representan la mayoría de los trabajadores agrícolas de California, son como grupo más propensos a tener afecciones que pueden agravarse por el calor, como presión arterial alta y enfermedad renal.</p>
<p>Los trabajadores de salud enfatizan la importancia de la hidratación e instan a los trabajadores a consumir menos refrescos, café y alcohol que son deshidratantes, dijo el enfermero José Banuelos del Central Neighborhood Health Foundation, de Coachella. ?No puedes cambiar tu trabajo si es al aire libre. Pero le digo a la gente que use protector solar y una capa protectora?.</p>
<p>El calor también puede afectar el uso de medicamentos. Los antipsicóticos y antidepresivos, por ejemplo, pueden reducir la sed y, por lo tanto, causar deshidratación, al igual que los diuréticos, que a veces se toman para la hinchazón.</p>
<p>Isidoro, quien dijo que está buscando otros trabajos, a menudo ve a sus compañeros de tareas luchando en los campos. Si se sienten mareados, pueden sentarse a la sombra o subirse a un camión cercano para que le pongan aire acondicionado, o llamar al 911 si los síntomas persisten.</p>
<p>Pero es un motivo de orgullo no mostrar que el calor te está afectando, dijo, y las llamadas para descansar a menudo se reciben con risas.</p>
<p>Alrededor de Bakersfield, mientras se recogen uvas durante la cosecha de verano y otoño, las ambulancias son un espectáculo habitual, dijo Isidoro. ?Todos los días se escucha: ?Aquí viene la ambulancia? o ?Fulano de tal se fue temprano porque se sintió enfermo??.</p>

<p>Pero muchos trabajadores ignoran las señales de advertencia, dijo Aguileo Rangel Rojas, otro trabajador agrícola. ?Están bien arriesgando su salud, sin pensar en eso, para asegurarse de que pueden ganar un salario?.</p>
<p>Rangel Rojas conoce demasiado bien los riesgos. En 2005, su hijo de 15 años, Cruz, sufrió un golpe de calor mientras recogía uvas. Pasó 15 días en el hospital y la familia no estaba segura si sobreviviría. Los ojos de Rojas se llenaron de lágrimas al recordarlo.</p>
<p>?No teníamos dinero. No hablábamos inglés. Sin auto. Sin nada?, dijo. ?No conocíamos nuestros derechos. Puede arrancarte el corazón?.</p>

							Dijo que está acostumbrado a trabajar con calor, lluvia y tormentas eléctricas. ?El trabajo es inhumano, nos tratan como animales?, dijo. ?Seguimos trabajando porque no sabemos nada más?.						<span class="photo-credit">(Heidi de Marco / KHN)</span></p>
<p>Después de la emergencia, Cruz dejó de recolectar y volvió a la escuela secundaria; ahora es un empleado de UFW. Su padre, ahora de 53 años, todavía trabaja en el campo con su esposa.</p>
<p>En agosto, Rangel Rojas comenzó a trabajar por las noches, cuando las temperaturas bajan a los 80 grados. Pero incluso sin calor extremo, existen riesgos. La evaporación de los cultivos se mantiene espesa en el aire, creando una humedad que puede provocar tormentas eléctricas e inundaciones repentinas.</p>
<p>Un relámpago brilló a su alrededor mientras estaba cortando apio en un tractor en un amanecer reciente.</p>
<p>?Nos puede alcanzar un rayo en cualquier momento y todos podríamos morir?, dijo. ?Debería poder ocurrir que esté lloviendo y los jefes nos pidan que dejemos de trabajar, pero no lo hacen. No podemos darnos el lujo de sentarnos detrás de un escritorio?.</p>

	<span class="byline">Aneri Pattani</span></p>
<p>Rafiah Maxie ha sido trabajadora social clínica en el área de Chicago durante una década. En todo ese tiempo, vio al suicidio como un problema más frecuente entre los hombres caucásicos de mediana edad.</p>
<p>Hasta el 27 de mayo de 2020.</p>
<p>Ese día, su hijo de 19 años, Jamal Clay, a quien le encantaba tocar la trompeta y hacer teatro, el que la ayudaba a descargar las compras del auto y a recaudar fondos para March of Dimes, se suicidó en su garage.</p>
<p>?Ahora no puedo parpadear sin ver a mi hijo colgado?, dijo Maxie, quien es negra.</p>
<p>La muerte de Clay, junto con los suicidios de más de 100 residentes negros en Illinois el año pasado, ha llevado a los mismos vecinos a pedir nuevos esfuerzos de prevención enfocados en las comunidades negras.</p>
<p>En 2020, durante el primer año de la pandemia, los suicidios entre los residentes caucásicos disminuyeron en comparación con años anteriores, mientras que aumentaron entre los residentes negros, según datos estatales.</p>
<p>Pero este no es un problema local. Y tampoco se limita a la pandemia.</p>
<p>Entrevistas con una docena de investigadores del suicidio, datos recopilados de todos los estados, y una revisión de décadas de investigación revelaron que el suicidio es una crisis creciente para las comunidades de color, que ya estaba impactando antes de la pandemia, y que se ha agravado desde entonces.</p>
<p>Las tasas generales de suicidio en los Estados Unidos disminuyeron en 2019 y 2020. Estudios nacionales y locales atribuyen la tendencia a una caída entre los estadounidenses blancos no hispanos, que constituyen la mayoría de las muertes por suicidio. Mientras tanto, las tasas de afroamericanos, hispanos y asiático-americanos, aunque más bajas que las de sus pares caucásicos, continuaron aumentando en muchos estados. (Las tasas de suicidio han sido consistentemente altas para los nativos americanos).</p>
<p>?Covid creó más transparencia con respecto a lo que ya sabíamos que estaba sucediendo?, dijo Sonyia Richardson, trabajadora social clínica que atiende a personas de color, y profesora asistente en la Universidad de Carolina del Norte-Charlotte, donde investiga el tema del suicidio.</p>
<p>Cuando pones las tasas de suicidio de todas las comunidades en un solo paquete, ?esa imagen dice que está mejorando y que lo que estamos haciendo está funcionando?, dijo. ?Pero ese no es el caso en las comunidades de color?.</p>
<p><strong>Perdiendo generaciones</strong></p>
<p>Aunque la tasa de suicidios es más alta entre los hombres blancos no hispanos de mediana edad, los jóvenes de color están surgiendo como un grupo particularmente en riesgo.</p>
<p>Las investigaciones muestran que los niños negros menores de 13 años mueren por suicidio en una tasa que es casi el doble que la de los niños blancos y, con el tiempo, sus tasas de suicidio han aumentado a pesar de que han bajado para los niños blancos.</p>
<p>Entre los adolescentes y los adultos jóvenes, las muertes por suicidio han aumentado más del 45% entre los afroamericanos y aproximadamente el 40% para los asiático-americanos en los siete años que terminaron en 2019.</p>
<p>Otras tendencias preocupantes en los intentos de suicidio se remontan a los años 90.</p>
<p>?Estamos perdiendo generaciones?, dijo Sean Joe, experto en suicidios entre afroamericanos y profesor de la Universidad de Washington en St. Louis. ?Tenemos que prestar atención ahora porque si estás saliendo de tu primera década de vida y piensas que no vale la pena seguir viviendo, eso es una señal de que algo está realmente mal?.</p>
<p>Estas estadísticas también refutan las ideas tradicionales de que el suicidio no ocurre en ciertas poblaciones étnicas o minoritarias porque están ?protegidas? y ?son resilientes? o son la ?minoría modelo?, dijo Kiara Alvarez, investigadora y psicóloga del Hospital General de Massachusetts que se enfoca en el suicidio entre las poblaciones hispanas e inmigrantes.</p>
<p>Aunque estos grupos pueden haber tenido históricamente bajas tasas de suicidio, eso está cambiando, dijo Alvarez.</p>
<p>Paul Chin perdió a su hermano de 17 años, Chris, por suicidio, en 2009. Un poema que Chris escribió sobre sus orígenes en la escuela secundaria hizo que Chin se preguntara si a su hermano, ocho años menor que él, le costó ser aceptado en los Estados Unidos, a pesar de haber nacido y crecido en Nueva York.</p>
<p>Al crecer, los estadounidenses de origen asiático no estaban representados en las lecciones de la escuela o en la cultura pop, dijo Chin, que ahora tiene 37 años. Incluso en la investigación clínica sobre el suicidio y otros temas de salud, los niños como Chris están subrepresentados, con menos del 1% de financiación de la investigación centrada en los estadounidenses de origen asiático.</p>
<p>No fue hasta la pandemia y el aumento de los crímenes de odio contra los asiático-estadounidenses, que Chin vio la atención nacional sobre la salud mental de la comunidad. Espera que el interés no sea efímero. El suicidio es la principal causa de muerte entre los estadounidenses de origen asiático de entre 15 y 24 años, pero ?eso no recibe suficiente atención?, dijo Chin. ?Es importante seguir compartiendo estas historias?.</p>
<p>Kathy Williams, quien es negra, ha estado en una misión similar desde que su hijo de 15 años, Torian Graves, murió por suicidio en 1996. En aquellos días, la gente no hablaba de suicidio en la comunidad negra, dijo. Entonces, ella comenzó a plantear el tema en su iglesia en Durham, Carolina del Norte, y en las escuelas locales. Quería que las familias negras conocieran las señales de advertencia, y que la sociedad en general reconociera la gravedad del problema.</p>
<p>La pandemia puede haber puesto de relieve esto, dijo Williams, pero ?siempre ha sucedido. Siempre?.</p>
<p><strong>Pandemia arroja luz sobre los desencadenantes</strong></p>
<p>Identificar las causas fundamentales del aumento de suicidios en de las comunidades de color ha resultado difícil. ¿Cuánto proviene de una enfermedad mental? ¿Cuánto de los cambios socioeconómicos como la pérdida de empleo o el aislamiento social? Ahora, covid puede ofrecer algunas pistas.</p>
<p>Las últimas décadas han estado marcadas por una creciente inestabilidad económica, una brecha racial en la distribución de la riqueza cada vez mayor y una mayor atención pública sobre los asesinatos de personas de color desarmadas por parte de la policía, dijo Michael Lindsey, director ejecutivo del Instituto McSilver de Política e Investigación sobre la Pobreza de la Universidad de Nueva York.</p>
<p>Con las redes sociales, los jóvenes enfrentan el racismo en más frentes que sus padres, dijo Leslie Adams, profesora asistente en el departamento de salud mental de la Escuela de Salud Pública Bloomberg de la Universidad Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>Cada uno de estos factores impacta en el riesgo de suicidio. Por ejemplo, experimentar el racismo y el sexismo juntos está relacionado con un aumento de tres veces en los pensamientos suicidas de las mujeres asiático-americanas, dijo Brian Keum, profesor asistente de UCLA, basándose en los hallazgos preliminares de la investigación.</p>
<p>Covid intensificó estas dificultades entre las comunidades de color, con un número desproporcionado de seres queridos perdidos, trabajos perdidos y viviendas perdidas.</p>
<p>El asesinato de George Floyd provocó un malestar racial generalizado y los estadounidenses de origen asiático vieron un aumento en los crímenes de odio. Al mismo tiempo, estudios en Connecticut y Maryland encontraron que las tasas de suicidio aumentaron en estas poblaciones y disminuyeron entre sus contrapartes blancas.</p>
<p>?No se trata solo de un problema interno de una persona, sino de problemas sociales que deben abordarse?, dijo Shari Jager-Hyman, profesora asistente de psiquiatría en la escuela de medicina de la Universidad de Pennsylvania.</p>
<p><strong>Lecciones desde Texas</strong></p>
<p>En Texas, el covid golpeó especialmente a los hispanos. A julio de 2021, representaban el 45% de todas las muertes por covid y la pérdida desproporcionada de empleos. Las personas indocumentadas no son elegibles para recibir beneficios de desempleo o cheques de estímulo federal.</p>
<p>Durante este tiempo, las muertes por suicidio entre los hispanos tejanos aumentaron de 847 en 2019 a 962 en 2020, según datos preliminares estatales. Las muertes por suicidio aumentaron para los tejanos negros y los residentes clasificados como ?otras? razas o etnias, pero disminuyeron para los tejanos blancos.</p>
<p>Los números no sorprendieron a Marc Mendiola. El joven de 20 años creció en una comunidad de mayoría hispana en el área sur de San Antonio. Incluso antes de la pandemia, a menudo escuchaba a sus compañeros decir que tenían pensamientos suicidas.</p>
<p>Muchos enfrentaban problemas económicos en sus casas, a veces viviendo sin electricidad, comida o agua. Aquellos que buscaban tratamiento de salud mental generalmente se topaban con servicios costosísimos o inaccesibles porque no se ofrecían en español.</p>
<p>?Estas son condiciones en las que la comunidad siempre ha estado?, dijo Mendiola. ?Pero con la pandemia, es aún peor?. Hace cuatro años, Mendiola y sus compañeros de clase en South San High School comenzaron a abogar por servicios de salud mental. A fines de 2019, solo unos meses antes de que llegara covid, su visión se hizo realidad. Seis agencias comunitarias se asociaron para ofrecer servicios gratuitos a los estudiantes y sus familias en tres distritos escolares.</p>
<p>Richard Davidson, director de operaciones de Family Service, uno de los grupos de esta alianza, dijo que la cantidad de estudiantes que discuten los factores económicos estresantes ha aumentado desde abril de 2020. Más del 90% de los estudiantes que recibieron servicios en la primera mitad de 2021 eran hispanos, y casi el 10% informó pensamientos suicidas o de autolesión, según muestran los datos del programa.</p>
<p>Ninguno murió por suicidio. Muchos estudiantes están tan preocupados por la cena del día siguiente que no pueden ver un futuro más allá de eso, dijo Davidson. Es entonces cuando el suicidio puede parecer una opción viable. ?Una de las cosas que hacemos es ayudarlos a ver que, a pesar de esta situación ahora, pueden crear una visión para su futuro?, dijo Davidson.</p>
<p><strong>Un buen futuro</strong></p>
<p>Investigadores dicen que la promesa de un buen futuro a menudo se pasa por alto en la prevención del suicidio, tal vez porque alcanzarlo es un gran desafío. Requiere crecimiento económico y social, y romper barreras sistémicas.</p>
<p>Tevis Simon trabaja para abordar todos esos frentes. Cuando era niña en West Baltimore, Simon, quien es negra, enfrentó la pobreza y el trauma. De adulta, intentó suicidarse tres veces. Pero ahora comparte su historia con jóvenes de toda la ciudad para inspirarlos a superar los desafíos.</p>
<p>También habla con políticos, agencias del orden y funcionarios sobre sus responsabilidades. ?No podemos no hablar de raza?, dijo Simon, de 43 años. ?No podemos no hablar de opresión sistemática. No podemos dejar de hablar de estas condiciones que afectan nuestro bienestar mental y nuestro sentimiento y deseo de vivir?.</p>
<p>Para Jamal Clay en Illinois, las barreras sistémicas comenzaron temprano. Antes de su suicidio el año pasado, había tratado de hacerse daño a sí mismo cuando tenía 12 años y fue víctima de acoso. En ese momento, fue hospitalizado durante unos días y se le dijo que siguiera con la terapia ambulatoria, contó su madre, Maxie.</p>
<p>Pero fue difícil encontrar terapeutas que aceptaran Medicaid, agregó. Cuando Maxie finalmente encontró uno, hubo una espera de 60 días. Otros terapeutas cancelaron las citas, dijo. ?Así que trabajamos por nuestra cuenta?, dijo Maxie, confiando en la iglesia y la comunidad. Su hijo pareció mejorar. ?Pensamos que habíamos cerrado ese capítulo de nuestras vidas?.</p>
<p>Pero cuando llegó la pandemia, todo empeoró. Clay volvió a casa de la universidad y trabajó en un depósito de Amazon. En los viajes hacia y desde el trabajo, la policía lo detenía con frecuencia. Dejó de usar gorras para que los oficiales lo consideraran menos intimidante, dijo Maxie.</p>
<p>?Se sentía incómodo estando en la calle?, dijo. Maxie todavía está tratando de encontrarle sentido a lo que sucedió el día en que murió Clay. Pero ha encontrado un propósito fundando una organización sin fines de lucro llamada Soul Survivors of Chicago.</p>
<p>A través de la entidad, proporciona educación, becas y zapatos, incluidos los viejos de Jamal, a las personas afectadas por la violencia, el suicidio y el trauma. ?Mi hijo no podrá tener una primera entrevista en [esos] zapatos. No podrá ir a la iglesia o incluso conocer a su esposa?, dijo Maxie. Pero espera que sus zapatos lleven a alguien más hacia un buen futuro.</p>

<p>Rafiah Maxie ha sido trabajadora social clínica en el área de Chicago durante una década. En todo ese tiempo, vio al suicidio como un problema más frecuente entre los hombres caucásicos de mediana edad.</p>
<p>Hasta el 27 de mayo de 2020.</p>
<p>Ese día, su hijo de 19 años, Jamal Clay, a quien le encantaba tocar la trompeta y hacer teatro, el que la ayudaba a descargar las compras del auto y a recaudar fondos para March of Dimes, se suicidó en su garage.</p>
<p>?Ahora no puedo parpadear sin ver a mi hijo colgado?, dijo Maxie, quien es negra.</p>
<p>La muerte de Clay, junto con los suicidios de más de 100 residentes negros en Illinois el año pasado, ha llevado a los mismos vecinos a pedir nuevos esfuerzos de prevención enfocados en las comunidades negras.</p>
<p>En 2020, durante el primer año de la pandemia, los suicidios entre los residentes caucásicos disminuyeron en comparación con años anteriores, mientras que aumentaron entre los residentes negros, según datos estatales.</p>
<p>Pero este no es un problema local. Y tampoco se limita a la pandemia.</p>
<p>Entrevistas con una docena de investigadores del suicidio, datos recopilados de todos los estados, y una revisión de décadas de investigación revelaron que el suicidio es una crisis creciente para las comunidades de color, que ya estaba impactando antes de la pandemia, y que se ha agravado desde entonces.</p>
<p>Las tasas generales de suicidio en los Estados Unidos disminuyeron en 2019 y 2020. Estudios nacionales y locales atribuyen la tendencia a una caída entre los estadounidenses blancos no hispanos, que constituyen la mayoría de las muertes por suicidio. Mientras tanto, las tasas de afroamericanos, hispanos y asiático-americanos, aunque más bajas que las de sus pares caucásicos, continuaron aumentando en muchos estados. (Las tasas de suicidio han sido consistentemente altas para los nativos americanos).</p>
<p>?Covid creó más transparencia con respecto a lo que ya sabíamos que estaba sucediendo?, dijo Sonyia Richardson, trabajadora social clínica que atiende a personas de color, y profesora asistente en la Universidad de Carolina del Norte-Charlotte, donde investiga el tema del suicidio.</p>
<p>Cuando pones las tasas de suicidio de todas las comunidades en un solo paquete, ?esa imagen dice que está mejorando y que lo que estamos haciendo está funcionando?, dijo. ?Pero ese no es el caso en las comunidades de color?.</p>
<p><strong>Perdiendo generaciones</strong></p>
<p>Aunque la tasa de suicidios es más alta entre los hombres blancos no hispanos de mediana edad, los jóvenes de color están surgiendo como un grupo particularmente en riesgo.</p>
<p>Las investigaciones muestran que los niños negros menores de 13 años mueren por suicidio en una tasa que es casi el doble que la de los niños blancos y, con el tiempo, sus tasas de suicidio han aumentado a pesar de que han bajado para los niños blancos.</p>
<p>Entre los adolescentes y los adultos jóvenes, las muertes por suicidio han aumentado más del 45% entre los afroamericanos y aproximadamente el 40% para los asiático-americanos en los siete años que terminaron en 2019.</p>
<p>Otras tendencias preocupantes en los intentos de suicidio se remontan a los años 90.</p>
<p>?Estamos perdiendo generaciones?, dijo Sean Joe, experto en suicidios entre afroamericanos y profesor de la Universidad de Washington en St. Louis. ?Tenemos que prestar atención ahora porque si estás saliendo de tu primera década de vida y piensas que no vale la pena seguir viviendo, eso es una señal de que algo está realmente mal?.</p>
<p>Estas estadísticas también refutan las ideas tradicionales de que el suicidio no ocurre en ciertas poblaciones étnicas o minoritarias porque están ?protegidas? y ?son resilientes? o son la ?minoría modelo?, dijo Kiara Alvarez, investigadora y psicóloga del Hospital General de Massachusetts que se enfoca en el suicidio entre las poblaciones hispanas e inmigrantes.</p>
<p>Aunque estos grupos pueden haber tenido históricamente bajas tasas de suicidio, eso está cambiando, dijo Alvarez.</p>
<p>Paul Chin perdió a su hermano de 17 años, Chris, por suicidio, en 2009. Un poema que Chris escribió sobre sus orígenes en la escuela secundaria hizo que Chin se preguntara si a su hermano, ocho años menor que él, le costó ser aceptado en los Estados Unidos, a pesar de haber nacido y crecido en Nueva York.</p>
<p>Al crecer, los estadounidenses de origen asiático no estaban representados en las lecciones de la escuela o en la cultura pop, dijo Chin, que ahora tiene 37 años. Incluso en la investigación clínica sobre el suicidio y otros temas de salud, los niños como Chris están subrepresentados, con menos del 1% de financiación de la investigación centrada en los estadounidenses de origen asiático.</p>
<p>No fue hasta la pandemia y el aumento de los crímenes de odio contra los asiático-estadounidenses, que Chin vio la atención nacional sobre la salud mental de la comunidad. Espera que el interés no sea efímero. El suicidio es la principal causa de muerte entre los estadounidenses de origen asiático de entre 15 y 24 años, pero ?eso no recibe suficiente atención?, dijo Chin. ?Es importante seguir compartiendo estas historias?.</p>
<p>Kathy Williams, quien es negra, ha estado en una misión similar desde que su hijo de 15 años, Torian Graves, murió por suicidio en 1996. En aquellos días, la gente no hablaba de suicidio en la comunidad negra, dijo. Entonces, ella comenzó a plantear el tema en su iglesia en Durham, Carolina del Norte, y en las escuelas locales. Quería que las familias negras conocieran las señales de advertencia, y que la sociedad en general reconociera la gravedad del problema.</p>
<p>La pandemia puede haber puesto de relieve esto, dijo Williams, pero ?siempre ha sucedido. Siempre?.</p>
<p><strong>Pandemia arroja luz sobre los desencadenantes</strong></p>
<p>Identificar las causas fundamentales del aumento de suicidios en de las comunidades de color ha resultado difícil. ¿Cuánto proviene de una enfermedad mental? ¿Cuánto de los cambios socioeconómicos como la pérdida de empleo o el aislamiento social? Ahora, covid puede ofrecer algunas pistas.</p>
<p>Las últimas décadas han estado marcadas por una creciente inestabilidad económica, una brecha racial en la distribución de la riqueza cada vez mayor y una mayor atención pública sobre los asesinatos de personas de color desarmadas por parte de la policía, dijo Michael Lindsey, director ejecutivo del Instituto McSilver de Política e Investigación sobre la Pobreza de la Universidad de Nueva York.</p>
<p>Con las redes sociales, los jóvenes enfrentan el racismo en más frentes que sus padres, dijo Leslie Adams, profesora asistente en el departamento de salud mental de la Escuela de Salud Pública Bloomberg de la Universidad Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>Cada uno de estos factores impacta en el riesgo de suicidio. Por ejemplo, experimentar el racismo y el sexismo juntos está relacionado con un aumento de tres veces en los pensamientos suicidas de las mujeres asiático-americanas, dijo Brian Keum, profesor asistente de UCLA, basándose en los hallazgos preliminares de la investigación.</p>
<p>Covid intensificó estas dificultades entre las comunidades de color, con un número desproporcionado de seres queridos perdidos, trabajos perdidos y viviendas perdidas.</p>
<p>El asesinato de George Floyd provocó un malestar racial generalizado y los estadounidenses de origen asiático vieron un aumento en los crímenes de odio. Al mismo tiempo, estudios en Connecticut y Maryland encontraron que las tasas de suicidio aumentaron en estas poblaciones y disminuyeron entre sus contrapartes blancas.</p>
<p>?No se trata solo de un problema interno de una persona, sino de problemas sociales que deben abordarse?, dijo Shari Jager-Hyman, profesora asistente de psiquiatría en la escuela de medicina de la Universidad de Pennsylvania.</p>
<p><strong>Lecciones desde Texas</strong></p>
<p>En Texas, el covid golpeó especialmente a los hispanos. A julio de 2021, representaban el 45% de todas las muertes por covid y la pérdida desproporcionada de empleos. Las personas indocumentadas no son elegibles para recibir beneficios de desempleo o cheques de estímulo federal.</p>
<p>Durante este tiempo, las muertes por suicidio entre los hispanos tejanos aumentaron de 847 en 2019 a 962 en 2020, según datos preliminares estatales. Las muertes por suicidio aumentaron para los tejanos negros y los residentes clasificados como ?otras? razas o etnias, pero disminuyeron para los tejanos blancos.</p>
<p>Los números no sorprendieron a Marc Mendiola. El joven de 20 años creció en una comunidad de mayoría hispana en el área sur de San Antonio. Incluso antes de la pandemia, a menudo escuchaba a sus compañeros decir que tenían pensamientos suicidas.</p>
<p>Muchos enfrentaban problemas económicos en sus casas, a veces viviendo sin electricidad, comida o agua. Aquellos que buscaban tratamiento de salud mental generalmente se topaban con servicios costosísimos o inaccesibles porque no se ofrecían en español.</p>
<p>?Estas son condiciones en las que la comunidad siempre ha estado?, dijo Mendiola. ?Pero con la pandemia, es aún peor?. Hace cuatro años, Mendiola y sus compañeros de clase en South San High School comenzaron a abogar por servicios de salud mental. A fines de 2019, solo unos meses antes de que llegara covid, su visión se hizo realidad. Seis agencias comunitarias se asociaron para ofrecer servicios gratuitos a los estudiantes y sus familias en tres distritos escolares.</p>
<p>Richard Davidson, director de operaciones de Family Service, uno de los grupos de esta alianza, dijo que la cantidad de estudiantes que discuten los factores económicos estresantes ha aumentado desde abril de 2020. Más del 90% de los estudiantes que recibieron servicios en la primera mitad de 2021 eran hispanos, y casi el 10% informó pensamientos suicidas o de autolesión, según muestran los datos del programa.</p>

<p>Bill Stocker isn&#8217;t a typical proponent of marijuana reform &#8211; he&#8217;s retired from the U.S. Marine Corps and Sioux Falls Police Department. </p>
<p>?I&#8217;ve been in uniform for 37 years and I&#8217;m a disabled veteran,? says Stocker. </p>
<p>You could <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=598908644323945"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>recognize</u></span></a>    Stocker of TV advertising that supports Amendment A.  That was the constitutional amendment that legalized hemp and marijuana. </p>
<p>Stocker supported the vote because he was of the opinion that the law enforcement authorities were too weak.  He says officials should focus on other drugs rather than marijuana.  </p>
<p>&#8220;Fentanyl is the problem, not marijuana,&#8221; says Stocker. </p>
<p>Stocker says he not only supported marijuana reform for the state, but also for himself. He suffers from chronic back pain, arthritis, and PTSD. </p>
<p>?I pay my taxes.  I am a registered voter.  I do my due diligence.  I&#8217;m a patriot, ?says Stocker.  &#8220;I&#8217;m in pain. I don&#8217;t want to take opioids.&#8221; </p>
<p>Stocker says the only thing that can relieve his pain is edible marijuana.  He counted on this treatment option after voters legalized medical and recreational marijuana. </p>
<p>But cannabis use is not yet legal in South Dakota, except on a reservation.  Republican governor Kristi Noem has resisted cannabis reform since taking office.  During her first two years in office, she refused to legalize industrial hemp and CBD oil.  </p>
<p>In 2019, Noem urged lawmakers not to pass a law to legalize industrial hemp. </p>
<p>?I believe if we move forward with industrial hemp and we are not prepared for it from a regulatory, enforcement perspective, and if we don&#8217;t have the equipment or the money to properly deal with, we will become the door to marijuana legalization in the state of South Dakota. &#8221; </p>
<p>This bill was passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate.  Noem vetoed it.  </p>
<p>A year and a half later, Noem fought against the campaign measure. </p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think anyone has gotten any smarter about smoking weed,&#8221; said Noem. </p>
<p>Noem says state voters made a bad decision in approving the constitutional amendment. </p>
<p>She supports a lawsuit to overturn the voter-approved measure on constitutional grounds.  The case is pending a ruling from the state&#8217;s Supreme Court.  For this reason, South Dakotan cannot currently purchase recreational marijuana. </p>
<p>Seth Pearman is the Attorney General of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe, where medical marijuana is legal for tribal members.  It is the only jurisdiction in the state that sells medicinal cannabis.  The tribe decided years ago that marijuana was not a high priority area for enforcement.  She legalized the plant and wanted to capitalize on the market.  </p>
<p>According to Pearman, conservative states across the country are opposed to legalizing marijuana. </p>
<p>&#8220;But I think that&#8217;s changing pretty quickly,&#8221; says Pearman. </p>
<p>Pearman says legalization will continue to increase as more states effectively regulate and tax cannabis.  </p>
<p>&#8220;This will be a trend that will continue across the country until every state has something in place or there is federal legislation that would be fully legalized,&#8221; Pearman added. </p>
<p>A state legislative committee visited the Native Nations cannabis dispensary in the Flandreau Reserve.  Another committee will <a href="https://www.sdpb.org/blogs/news-and-information/two-groups-looking-to-act-on-recreational-pot-await-court-decision/"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>to write</u></span></a>    a law regulating recreational marijuana. </p>
<p>South Dakota voters surprised the country last November when they voted to legalize medical and recreational marijuana. </p>
<p>In 2020, <a href="https://sdsos.gov/elections-voting/assets/2020GeneralStateCanvassFinal&amp;Certificate.pdf"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>55 percent</u></span></a>    of voters in South Dakota voted for recreational pot legalization.  Kristi Noem won the Governor&#8217;s race in 2018 with only <a href="https://sdsos.gov/elections-voting/assets/2018GeneralElectionCanvassPDF.pdf"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>51 percent</u></span></a>    the vote.   </p>
<p>Much has changed since Noem ran for governor.  Your direct handling of the coronavirus AND your support for former President Donald Trump have created a national profile.  </p>
<p>Most Americans aren&#8217;t on Noem&#8217;s side when it comes to marijuana reform, however.  According to recent Pew research <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/16/americans-overwhelmingly-say-marijuana-should-be-legal-for-recreational-or-medical-use/"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>opinion poll</u></span></a>, 90 percent of Americans say medical marijuana should be legal.  Sixty percent of Americans say marijuana should be legal for medical and recreational use. </p>
<p>And that has lost some of its support to Noem, including retired cop Bill Stocker.  </p>
<p>?I won&#8217;t choose them,? says Stocker.  &#8220;In fact, if there is a good candidate to compete against you, I will not only support that candidate, I will actively promote that candidate.&#8221; </p>
<p>Stocker voted for Noem when she first ran.  He says her commitment to transparency won his vote.  Now, however, Stocker says he&#8217;s not happy with the governor&#8217;s position on legalization.   </p>

<p>Bill Stocker isn&#8217;t a typical proponent of marijuana reform &#8211; he&#8217;s retired from the U.S. Marine Corps and Sioux Falls Police Department. </p>
<p>?I&#8217;ve been in uniform for 37 years and I&#8217;m a disabled veteran,? says Stocker. </p>
<p>You could <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=598908644323945"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>recognize</u></span></a>    Stocker of TV advertising that supports Amendment A.  That was the constitutional amendment that legalized hemp and marijuana. </p>
<p>Stocker supported the vote because he was of the opinion that the law enforcement authorities were too weak.  He says officials should focus on other drugs rather than marijuana.  </p>
<p>&#8220;Fentanyl is the problem, not marijuana,&#8221; says Stocker. </p>
<p>Stocker says he not only supported marijuana reform for the state, but also for himself. He suffers from chronic back pain, arthritis, and PTSD. </p>
<p>?I pay my taxes.  I am a registered voter.  I do my due diligence.  I&#8217;m a patriot, ?says Stocker.  &#8220;I&#8217;m in pain. I don&#8217;t want to take opioids.&#8221; </p>
<p>Stocker says the only thing that can relieve his pain is edible marijuana.  He counted on this treatment option after voters legalized medical and recreational marijuana. </p>
<p>But cannabis use is not yet legal in South Dakota, except on a reservation.  Republican governor Kristi Noem has resisted cannabis reform since taking office.  During her first two years in office, she refused to legalize industrial hemp and CBD oil.  </p>
<p>In 2019, Noem urged lawmakers not to pass a law to legalize industrial hemp. </p>
<p>?I believe if we move forward with industrial hemp and we are not prepared for it from a regulatory, enforcement perspective, and if we don&#8217;t have the equipment or the money to properly deal with, we will become the door to marijuana legalization in the state of South Dakota. &#8221; </p>
<p>This bill was passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate.  Noem vetoed it.  </p>
<p>A year and a half later, Noem fought against the campaign measure. </p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think anyone has gotten any smarter about smoking weed,&#8221; said Noem. </p>
<p>Noem says state voters made a bad decision in approving the constitutional amendment. </p>
<p>She supports a lawsuit to overturn the voter-approved measure on constitutional grounds.  The case is pending a ruling from the state&#8217;s Supreme Court.  For this reason, South Dakotan cannot currently purchase recreational marijuana. </p>
<p>Seth Pearman is the Attorney General of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe, where medical marijuana is legal for tribal members.  It is the only jurisdiction in the state that sells medicinal cannabis.  The tribe decided years ago that marijuana was not a high priority area for enforcement.  She legalized the plant and wanted to capitalize on the market.  </p>
<p>According to Pearman, conservative states across the country are opposed to legalizing marijuana. </p>
<p>&#8220;But I think that&#8217;s changing pretty quickly,&#8221; says Pearman. </p>
<p>Pearman says legalization will continue to increase as more states effectively regulate and tax cannabis.  </p>
<p>&#8220;This will be a trend that will continue across the country until every state has something in place or there is federal legislation that would be fully legalized,&#8221; Pearman added. </p>
<p>A state legislative committee visited the Native Nations cannabis dispensary in the Flandreau Reserve.  Another committee will <a href="https://www.sdpb.org/blogs/news-and-information/two-groups-looking-to-act-on-recreational-pot-await-court-decision/"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>to write</u></span></a>    a law regulating recreational marijuana. </p>
<p>South Dakota voters surprised the country last November when they voted to legalize medical and recreational marijuana. </p>
<p>In 2020, <a href="https://sdsos.gov/elections-voting/assets/2020GeneralStateCanvassFinal&amp;Certificate.pdf"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>55 percent</u></span></a>    of voters in South Dakota voted for recreational pot legalization.  Kristi Noem won the Governor&#8217;s race in 2018 with only <a href="https://sdsos.gov/elections-voting/assets/2018GeneralElectionCanvassPDF.pdf"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>51 percent</u></span></a>    the vote.   </p>
<p>Much has changed since Noem ran for governor.  Your direct handling of the coronavirus AND your support for former President Donald Trump have created a national profile.  </p>
<p>Most Americans aren&#8217;t on Noem&#8217;s side when it comes to marijuana reform, however.  According to recent Pew research <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/04/16/americans-overwhelmingly-say-marijuana-should-be-legal-for-recreational-or-medical-use/"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);"><u>opinion poll</u></span></a>, 90 percent of Americans say medical marijuana should be legal.  Sixty percent of Americans say marijuana should be legal for medical and recreational use. </p>
<p>And that has lost some of its support to Noem, including retired cop Bill Stocker.  </p>
<p>?I won&#8217;t choose them,? says Stocker.  &#8220;In fact, if there is a good candidate to compete against you, I will not only support that candidate, I will actively promote that candidate.&#8221; </p>
<p>Stocker voted for Noem when she first ran.  He says her commitment to transparency won his vote.  Now, however, Stocker says he&#8217;s not happy with the governor&#8217;s position on legalization.   </p>
<p>So far, there is no challenger who will take on the rising Republican star.  But it&#8217;s likely that cannabis will play a role in the campaign. </p>
