Dear Friends,

 

From the recent launch of our podcast and the editorial section of The Drug Report, to the federal rescheduling process and the marijuana and drug policy implications of Senator McConnell’s ensuing departure from Senate leadership, we at SAM & FDPS are on the cutting edge of an avalanche of activity and news. 

 

As a show of thanks for your support and generosity, we’re giving you an opportunity to join our new and exclusive Quarterly Leadership Update. This off the record conversation will be a 45-minute Zoom briefing with us, CEO and President, Kevin Sabet, and Executive Vice President, Luke Niforatos, on what’s coming next from our organizations and in the policy world.

 

Donors who have given $1,000 or more this year (2024), are already eligible. If you want to join this exclusive opportunity, please donate here.

 

Our first update will be March 28th, 3pm Eastern Time.

 

Please email John Spurlock, Chief Development Officer, [email protected] for further questions or help with donating.


We can’t wait to see you there!


Onward,

Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) is an alliance of organizations and individuals dedicated to a health-first approach to marijuana policy. We are professionals working in mental health and public health. We are bipartisan. We are medical doctors, lawmakers, treatment providers, preventionists, teachers, law enforcement officers and others who seek a middle road between incarceration and legalization. Our commonsense, third-way approach to marijuana policy is based on reputable science and sound principles of public health and safety.


The Foundation for Drug Policy Solutions (FDPS) is a national drug policy think/action tank whose vision is a world in which children and families thrive, substance use is prevented, and there is rapid access to quality treatment. From prevention and recovery to smart law enforcement and better international cooperation, we are working to change the face of drug policy. Too many people are losing their lives to addiction. It is time for big change.
