MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN – Dr. Kevin Sabet – Limit It – vs. Aaron Houston – Legalize It
Dr. Sabet was dubbed the “quarterback of the new anti-drug movement” by Salon Magazine and is a former three-time White House drug policy adviser. He currently is the director of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) which he co-founded with Patrick J. Kennedy. He is also the director of the Drug Policy Institute at the University of Florida and an assistant professor in the College of Medicine. He is the author of “Reefer Sanity: Seven Great Myths about Marijuana” and a consultant to numerous domestic and international organizations, including the United Nations, through his company, the Policy Solutions Lab.
Aaron Houston co-founded the Marijuana Majority and is a nationally recognized expert on drug policy and marijuana law, currently serving as a strategist for Ghost Group, a private equity company that owns marijuana-related technology companies. Between 2010-13, as executive director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, Aaron coordinated the efforts of students on more than 200 campuses worldwide, and from 2005-10, he served as the only full-time marijuana legalization lobbyist on Capitol Hill. His work on Capitol Hill was chronicled in a 2007 Showtime original documentary, “In Pot We Trust.”
