It’s been a big week for Smart Approaches to Marijuana—possibly the biggest in our organization’s history! I wanted to share some key highlights with you below . . .
HEMP BAN WINS
Congress passed and President Trump signed a ban on products containing hemp-derived THC. This is a historic win for both public health and SAM, which played a key role in writing the ban. Thanks to all of you: You are the ones who made this possible!
ONE NATION UNDER THE INFLUENCE
Check out the livestream of our AMAZING NYC launch event for my new book One Nation Under the Influence(which has already hit #1 in two categories on Amazon)!
NEW YORK IMPACT REPORT
We also released our New York Impact Report, a deep-dive analysis of how the Empire State’s legal-weed regime is failing public health and the citizens it was meant to help. You can watch a stream of our launch event below:
Last but by no means least, check out this incredible CNN segment diving into the data around support for legal weed. And guess what? It’s crashing as America wakes up to how dangerous marijuana really is.
In other words, it’s been a banner week for SAM and FDPS, for you, and for public health. We can’t thank you enough. Keep up the good fight!
With gratitude,
Dr. Kevin A. Sabet
