Any talk of legalizing recreational marijuana is a bad idea, especially in the midst of an opioid abuse and addiction crisis, worsened by COVID.

Hey @rolandsmartin, President of @learnaboutsam here. We're partnering with some NAACP chapters who disagree with legalization today on a new campaign I hope you can check out: https://t.co/XGIsJBOsdY We have also written legislation and were co-founded with Rep. Kennedy (1/?)

[Kevin Sabet @KevinSabet]

Approx. 1 in 10 people who use #marijuana will become addicted. When they start before age 18, the rate of addiction rises to 1 in 6.

Marijuana use comes with real risks that can impact a person’s health and life.

Today, SAM's Science Advisory Board sent a comprehensive letter to Congress outlining how cases of illness and deaths from vaping are tied to marijuana products, linked to purchases made in “legal” stores, and outlined several recommended courses of action.

The latest edition of the @UNODC's World Drug Report has been released. Notably, it finds that use has dramatically increased fewer young people view marijuana as being harmful, average potency has risen, and large corporations are beginning to infiltrate the industry.

🚨🚨🚨 Today, the UN International Narcotics Control Board released a scathing report chiding countries who have legalized marijuana and outlining the problems marijuana poses to the health and well-being of youth worldwide. Our statement 🔽🔽🔽

Way to go North Dakota!

[Smart Approaches to Marijuana @learnaboutsam]

BREAKING: NORTH DAKOTA OVERWHELMINGLY REJECTS MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION. Phenomenal work from @HPNorthDakota and other allies in this effort.

[Smart Approaches to Marijuana @learnaboutsam]

Happy Election Day! As you know, there are two reckless proposals to legalize marijuana in North Dakota and Michigan that will be voted on today. We certainly hope commonsense will prevail and voters will defend public health by rejecting the empty promises of Big Marijuana.

Dutch Prime Minister: "The marijuana that you can buy today is so much stronger" than before...which is bad for the health, especially for the young...the best policy on drugs for yourself is no first use...don't try at all."

The other Maine SAM, Smart Approaches to Marijuana, isn’t endorsing any candidates, but does hope Maine’s next Governor puts the health of Maine’s youth ahead of the interests of the pot industry when approaching marijuana policy in the state. #MEPOLITICS

“Our findings suggest that increased exposure to medical marijuana advertising is associated with increased marijuana use and related negative consequences throughout adolescence,” #PeopleBeforeProfits https://t.co/rBIsuRWo53
