Then we held a briefing in Congress, featuring panelists Fmr. Rep. and SAM Honorary Co-Chair Patrick Kennedy, FDPS President Dr. Kevin Sabet, FDPS Director of Community Engagement Will Jones, former Senate Chief of Staff Luke Albee, moderated by Marcia Lee Taylor.
It was a full house! Staff from various Members’ offices sat shoulder-to-shoulder—and even stood in the back—to learn more about the panelists’ perspectives on combating the ongoing drug crises. It was a wide-ranging conversation: everything from incarceration alternatives to the commercialization of marijuana were discussed.
