Dr. Kevin Sabet

President & CEO of SAM

Co-founded in 2013 by former Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy and Dr. Kevin A. Sabet, a former senior drug policy advisor to the Obama Administration, Smart Approaches to Marijuana (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.

D.A.R.E. INTERNATIONAL

D.A.R.E. envisions a world in which students everywhere are empowered to respect other and choose to lead lives free from violence, substance abuse, and other dangerous behaviors.

"SAM’s presentation was a walking source of information regarding the legalization of marijuana and very personable. The audience responded well to theinformation that was presented and a legislator in attendance actually had a letter to the editor a week after the training that was packed with the information that the SAM speaker shared."
