Dear John,

I'd like to update you about the exciting day we had in Washington, DC on Thursday. In the morning, I went to DEA headquarters to celebrate the Administration's 50th anniversary. I urged Administrator Milgram to follow the science on all things marijuana.

After the DEA event, I went to the Capitol, where I addressed members of Congress and staff on the dangers of drug legalization at the first-ever Bipartisan Fentanyl Prevention Caucus briefing. The Caucus, which aims to find solutions to the fentanyl crisis through bipartisan policy, could only invite four speakers. I'm grateful to Caucus Chairs Joe Neguse (D-CO), Ken Calvert (R-CA), Madeline Dean (D-PA), and Darrell Issa (R-CA) for inviting me to DC for the briefing!

In the evening, members of the SAM team went to an event at the Capitol Hill Club where they spoke with elected officials and Congressional staff about all things marijuana, from the consequences of legalization to the SAFER Banking Act.

We can only do the important work to help federal lawmakers enact public health-oriented drug policy with your support. Please help us continue to make an impact on Capitol Hill!

Thank you for all that you do.



Sincerely,



Dr. Kevin Sabet
