About SAM

Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) is a nonpartisan, non-profit alliance of physicians, policy makers, prevention workers, treatment and recovery professionals, scientists, and other concerned citizens opposed to marijuana legalization who want health and scientific evidence to guide marijuana policies. SAM has affiliates in more than 30 states.
Evidence shows that marijuana – which has skyrocketed in average potency over the past decades –  is addictive and harmful to the human brain, especially when used by adolescents. In states that have already legalized the drug, there has been an increase in  drugged driving crashes, youth marijuana use, and  costs that far outweigh pot revenues.These states have seen  a black market that continues to thrive, sustained disparities in marijuana  arrest rates, and tobacco companyinvestment in  marijuana.
Marijuana is not a harmless drug. View the  stories of its victims here.
