Kevin Sabet is co-founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, an anti-marijuana lobbying group that provides one-sided information in their quest to keep marijuana unavailable.  However, the method he uses  to make his case is unscientific manipulation of evidence, spread in a morally bankrupt way to further his own talking points.  He cherry-picks data and ignores actual scientific evidence in order to confuse and try (desperately) to prove that marijuana is so dangerous that adults cannot use it safely.

I plan to use this page to point out all the ways in which Kevin Sabet gets it so wrong, and you may decide if this behavior is just sheer ignorance or a purposeful attempt to delude people into his erroneous way of thinking.

SAM has an FAQ that supposedly explains their opposition to marijuana legalization. Truthfully, the thing is so full of factual errors and misleading statements that it will take a while to list all of the problems! However, while I'm working, I decided to share some obvious issues that can illustrate the overall dubious way SAM operates.


Ok, so public opinion should not be considered in policy. Oh, but you only say that because public opinion is against your view? Let's see how (in the VERY NEXT question) SAM can exhibit their loose and fast adherence to any standard such as this...


Well played! So, SAM has an obligation to speak out for those against it, because, will of the people, man!

Nice try, Kevin. Maybe get a consistent compass before you start debating with yourself.
