Forterus Inc. (Pink Sheets: FTER), which, through its ABTTC Inc. division provides drug and alcohol rehabilitation and a variety of other behavioral healthcare services with the highest levels of accreditation, announced today that Jerrod Menz, Forterus Vice President and co-founder and President of its “A Better Tomorrow” facility, and Jim Fent, Executive Vice President, will be interviewed on the VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network on the topic of legalizing marijuana.
The show will be aired live on Friday, September 11, 2009, 8 a.m. Pacific, on the Dr. Michael Kell show (www.modavox.com/voiceamerica). VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network is the single largest producer of original Internet talk radio programming in the world.
“Proponents of marijuana are promoting a ‘drug’ lifestyle, claiming it is so safe that it can be used before going to work in the morning and cause no harm,” said Mr. Menz. Mr. Fent added: “Over 90 percent of our clients for heroin abuse report that they used marijuana prior to heroin. Marijuana is a drug and if we legalize it, we are making the concession as a society that we can’t control illegal substances.”
“We are pleased that our executives are recognized as experts in their field and are interviewed on such popular programs as Dr. Kell’s ’Mind, Brain and Body‘ show,” said Paul Howarth, co-founder and CEO. “Mr. Menz and Mr. Fent both have extensive experience in addiction rehabilitation services.”
