Dear friend,
Let’s be frank. You know it and I know it. SAM is the “little engine that could.” Faced with innumerable odds – a massive, multi-billion dollar for-profit industry against us, and few, if any, other organizations singularly focused and funded to take them on systematically – we are a little team with a big bite.
It won’t make headlines, but we have stopped seventeen pot legalization bills this year, produced the most comprehensive report on marijuana outcomes to date, prevented the SAFE Banking Act from moving in the Senate, helped pass the Medical Marijuana Research Act out of a crucial Congressional committee, had language introduced to raise awareness over marijuana impaired driving, and defeated numerous efforts to include Big Pot giveaways in both standalone legislation and as part of large appropriations bills.
We’ve also conducted more than 100 webinars and talks since we went virtual.
