Dear Friend,
As I am sure you know, there are many myths that are being perpetuated by the marijuana
industry and its supporters when it comes to how legalization and commercialization
affect youth use of the drug.
This is why I am so looking forward to next week's webinar with my good friend and
SAM Executive Vice President, Luke Niforatos.
Over the course of this webinar, we will dive headfirst into the data to put the
myth that legalization and commercialization has not resulted in a rise in youth
use of marijuana and discuss the potential ramifications of continued commercialization
and normalization.
Click the ticket below to register for the webinar if you haven't yet done so. If
you have, I look forward to seeing you all on Friday!
Thanks for all that you do,
Dr. Kevin Sabet
President & CEO
Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM)

Please join Dr. Kevin Sabet, president of SAM and Luke Niforatos, SAM Executive
Vice President, for the August 7th webinar: Marijuana Legalization: The Impact on
Youth.
Today's marijuana is much more potent than in the past. Marijuana in the Woodstock
era contained 5% THC. By comparison, today's pot edibles, candies, cookies, ice
creams, and waxes contain as much as 99% THC.
What lessons have we learned from how legalizing these high-THC products have impacted
our youth? Luke Niforatos from SAM will walk parents through the latest statistics
and facts on what is really happening in legalized states, so you can make informed
decisions and discuss these issues intelligently with your children.
Learning Objectives:

*
Understand the negative mental health outcomes of children who smoke marijuana
*
Recognize how smoking marijuana has been proven to impact school performance
*
Learn how children end up in the emergency room from using marijuana products
*
Explore the ramifications of stoned teen driving
*
See the link between parental marijuana usage and adolescent usage
Upon request, a certificate of attendance will be made available at the completion
of the webinar.
