He's worked under Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama in the Office of National Drug Control Policy and goes around touting drug reform. He's the modern-day version of a Prohibitionist. Sabet is Public Enemy Number One when it comes to legalizing marijuana in any way. And while he's known nationally and has taken his fight to places like Colorado, he's parked right in our own backyard as the director of the Drug Policy Institute at the University of Florida.
Through his group, Smart Approaches to Marijuana (or, Project SAM), Sabet, who calls himself the "quarterback" of a new antidrug movement, has become an expert at making it sound like marijuana is Satan's Herb. Through clever semantics and an aggressive approach, Sabet's M.O. has been to be intellectually dishonest about pot by touting nonsense such as today's weed is more potent than the weed your parents smoked in the '50s and '60s or that weed rots your brain.
This is to all the drunks who oppose the legalization of marijuana. I smoke everyday it helps with my back pain and settles my crazy ass down. I will probably make between 60 and 80 grand this year from investing in stocks and training. I'm 32 own 2 Lexus a 2220 sq ft home and have 2 college degrees. I'm 6'3 175lbs and have 6% bf! I've never fought because I was stoned or crashed my car or got sick. So sick and tired of hearing that we're lazy and worthless when you folks who drink and act a fool have no room to judge. Alcohol is the worst drug out there because its legal. My point is I'm more successful then a lot of folks I know who bash my plant and say we're lazy your theory is flawed. I say lets outlaw alcohol for 10 years and legalize marijuana for that same amount of time. Then compare violent crimes DUI's ect and I put my left nut on it this country would be a better place. Who would have thought 20 years ago we America would have a minority president on our way to a woman in the Whitehouse and last but not least that we would legalize marijuana! So before you bash me and my fellow potheads do your research! Oh and Democrats make sure to show out and vote Scott out and Christie in November 4th 2014 we make history Florida!
