Dear friend,
I wanted to be sure you saw this email we sent out earlier about our upcoming webinar.
We have worked diligently over the last few years to develop a winning message when
it comes to pushing back and defeating marijuana legalization efforts and we want
to share that message with you.
In this webinar, we will share some key insights we have learned from polling, focus
groups, and our numerous grassroots campaigns. Furthermore, we will arm you with
the knowledge of how to interact with your local media outlets to help share the
message of the harms of marijuana commercialization.
I am very much looking forward to holding this webinar this Wednesday at 1:00 PM
ET and I hope you will be able to attend.
Don't forget, the deadline to register is Wednesday at 12:00 PM ET, one hour prior
to the start of the webinar.

Hope to see you Wednesday,
Dr. Kevin Sabet,
President and Co-Founder
