We have learned from those terrible, tragic mistakes of basically taking the bait from big tobacco for so long, but we're willing to do that for marijuana again.
Ever wondered about the real impact of marijuana legalization? In this episode of 'Addiction, Treatment and Recovery', Dr. Mitch Rosenthal sits down with Kevin Sabet, the President and CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM). Kevin, who has been dubbed the “prodigy of drug politics” by NBC News, brings over two decades of experience in drug policy to the table. He shares his thoughts on the commercial pressures driving marijuana legalization and why he believes it's a risky path.
Kevin also dives into the political landscape, revealing how money influences drug policy and its ripple effects on communities of color. This episode is packed with raw and insightful discussions that challenge the mainstream narrative on marijuana. If you're curious about the complexities of drug policy and the fight against marijuana commercialization, this conversation is a must-listen.
