• Governor Ducey helped raise millions of dollars for the ARDP to defeat the marijuana bill. He or Moak may have had direct involvement in a $500,000 contribution to the ARDP last year by Insys Therapeutics, the Chandler fentanyl maker now under investigation for an alleged illegal scheme to push the killer drug on unsuspecting doctors and patients. Insys, which makes a synthetic drug intended to mimic the effects of marijuana, noted in securities filings that it was worried legalized marijuana might cut into its profits.
• Moak's departure at the GOYFF came in the same month that Ducey declared an opioid emergency, because so many people are dying of overdoses from drugs like fentanyl, a synthetic opioid.
