Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) evaluates the positions of 18 candidates—15 Republicans and 3 Democrats—on their support of an evidence-based marijuana policy:
- Opposition to marijuana legalization for recreational purposes
- Support of prevention, intervention, and treatment for marijuana use
