We are SAM. Smart Approaches to Marijuana. We are professionals working in mental health and public health. We are bipartisan. We are medical doctors, lawmakers, treatment providers, preventionists, teachers, law enforcement officers and others who seek a middle road between incarceration and legalization. Our commonsense, third-way approach to marijuana policy is based on reputable science and sound principles of public health and safety.
The False Dichotomy of Legalization and Criminalization
| Kevin Sabet | TEDxPrincetonU
TOP 10 Messages Against Legalization
- Marijuana legalization will usher in America's new version of "Big Tobacco"
- Marijuana use will increase under legalization
- Marijuana is especially harmful to kids and adolescents.
- Today's marijuana is NOT your Woodstock weed.
- Marijuana legalization will increase public costs.
- People are not in prison for small time marijuana use.
- Drug cartels and the black market will continue to function under legalization.
- Neither Portugal nor Holland provides any successful example of legaization.
- Marijuana has medicine properties, but we shouldn't smoke the plant in order to derive those benefits, just like we do not smoke opium to get the benefits of morphine.
- Experience from Colorado is not promising.
