Today, NFIA, in partnership with SAM, is publishing a preliminary list of more than 800 nonprofit organizations that are working to build marijuana-free and drug-free communities. The list can be accessed at The Marijuana Report.Org<\/a> website on the Links page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Organized by state, the list provides the name, location, phone number, and link to the website or Facebook page of each organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one had any idea how many organizations are concerned about the impact of marijuana legalization on our kids until we began putting this list together, not even us,\u201d notes William F. Carter, NFIA\u2019s Chairman of the Board.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adds NFIA\u2019s Senior Advisor, Kent \u201cOz\u201d Nelson, retired Chairman and CEO of United Parcel Service, \u201cThe overwhelming misinformation about marijuana that legalization proponents are putting out there is influencing young people negatively,\u201d he says. \u201cJust last week we learned that daily marijuana use among the nation\u2019s college students is the highest it has ever been since surveys began. It\u2019s encouraging to learn there are so many groups dedicated to educating the public about marijuana\u2019s effects.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLike the tobacco industry, which lied to Americans about the harmful effects of cigarettes for more than 50 years, the emerging marijuana industry is telling the same kinds of lies about marijuana,\u201d said NFIA\u2019s President and CEO, Sue Rusche.<\/span><\/p>\n

Added Kevin Sabet, co-founder and director of SAM, \u201cThe public deserves to hear about the substantial science that defines marijuana\u2019s harmful effects. We are delighted to discover how many groups are out there to counteract the marijuana industry\u2019s lies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
