Setting the Record Straight: Mothers for Marijuana and SAM's Divergent Paths Confirmed

In the interest of absolute accuracy and to rectify a recent misstatement, we are issuing this crucial correction regarding a previously published press release. It has come to our attention that "Mothers for Marijuana" was erroneously identified as a collaborating entity with "Smart Approaches to Marijuana" (SAM).

We wish to clarify, unequivocally, that "Mothers for Marijuana" did not, in fact, participate in any collaborative efforts with SAM on the aforementioned press release.

This inclusion was an unfortunate and unintended error, and we sincerely regret any confusion or misrepresentation it may have caused.

Furthermore, it is imperative to underscore the distinct and often opposing viewpoints held by these two organizations. "Mothers for Marijuana" wishes to make it explicitly clear that they do not endorse or support the policy positions advocated by Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM).

On the contrary, "Mothers for Marijuana" has consistently and actively campaigned against many of SAM's proposed policies, viewing them as detrimental to the broader goals of cannabis reform and public well-being.

The inadvertent inclusion of "Mothers for Marijuana" in our previous communication was a regrettable oversight, and we extend our deepest apologies to "Mothers for Marijuana" for this error and for any implication that their mission and stance align with SAM's.

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of journalistic integrity and precision, and we thank our readers and the involved organizations for their understanding as we correct the record.
