Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM)SAM’s Staff and Science Advisory Board is composed of world-recognized experts in research, addiction, and treatment. They work to advance public health and safety by championing our four main objectives.
(1) To inform public policy with the science of today’s marijuana.
(2) To have honest conversation about reducing the unintended consequences of current marijuana policies, such as lifelong stigma due to arrest.
(3) To prevent the establishment of Big Marijuana that would market marijuana to children — and to prevent Big Tobacco from taking over Big Marijuana.
(4) To promote research on marijuana in order to obtain FDA-approved, pharmacy-dispensed, cannabis-based medications
