(SAM) is the nation's premier non-profit, non-partisan marijuana policy organization.
Advised by a blue ribbon scientific advisory board, SAM envisions a society where
marijuana policies are aligned with the scientific understanding of marijuana's
harms, and the commercialization and normalization of marijuana are no more. Its
mission is to educate citizens on the science of marijuana and to promote health-first,
smart policies and attitudes that decrease marijuana use and its consequences.
SAM has advised almost every state government in the U.S., Pope Francis, Queen Silvia
of Sweden, and several other governments, dignitaries, and international organizations.
It has Special Consultative Status with the United Nations, and SAM team members
have testified before Congress numerous times, as well as have appeared in almost
every media outlet in the country.
