Cannabis Science & Technology reports on Marijuana Policy Project (MPP)‘s announcement of their new Executive Director, Adam J. Smith, who has 30 years of experience in drug policy reform and advocacy, including starting Students for Sensible Drug Policy!
“I’m honored and excited to join the dedicated team at MPP and to build upon the organization’s extraordinary legacy in advancing sensible cannabis policy,” stated Smith, in the press release. “The cannabis landscape has transformed dramatically over the past 30 years, thanks in large part to MPP’s leadership. Moving forward, we will continue fighting to ensure that no one, anywhere in the country, faces arrest or criminal penalties for cannabis use. At the same time, we’ll address the critical task of transforming emerging and existing markets into well-regulated, accessible, and equitable systems. After nearly a century of failed prohibition, it’s clear that the only effective path forward is to offer consumers a safer, economically vibrant, and environmentally responsible regulated marketplace. I’m deeply humbled to have the opportunity to lead the nation’s most impactful organization in cannabis policy reform.”
