"Almost every problematic student-behavior
issue has at its roots in the over-consumption of alcohol."
-- Sheldon Steinbach, general counsel for the American
Council on Education
Associated Press, August 30, 2006
SAFER's mission is to educate the public about the simple
fact that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol. By doing
so, we hope to change the general consensus in this country surrounding
marijuana and marijuana laws. Once the public is convinced that
marijuana is a safer recreational alternative to alcohol, the support
for marijuana prohibition should crumble.
One of SAFER's primary objectives is to work with campus leaders
around the country to change university policies related to marijuana
possession. The primary means of accomplishing this goal is by contrasting
the harms of alcohol and marijuana. We have already passed referenda
calling for reduced marijuana penalties on five major university
campuses. Moreover, this campaign to educate students and administrators
about the relative harms of alcohol and marijuana was recently the
subject of a cover story in the Chronicle
of Higher Education, a highly respected national publication.
