Join me on The Kingfisher Project at 6:00, this coming Wednesday, 2/18 on WJFF 90.5 FM – Radio Catskill. My guest will be Kevin A. Sabet, Ph.D, author, consultant, and advisor to three U.S. presidential administrations. Dr. Sabet has studied, researched, written about, and implemented drug policy for over 25 years. He is the only person appointed by both Republican and Democratic administrations to work at the White House drug office. Kevin is currently the President and CEO of the Foundation for Drug Policy Solutions (FDPS) and SAM(Smart Approaches to Ma*****na), two non-profit organizations he founded with Congressman Patrick Kennedy. An affiliate of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies and the Medical School at Yale University, he has been dubbed by NBC News as the “prodigy of drug politics,” and by Salon as the "quarterback of the new anti-drug movement.".
His book, Smokescreen: What the Ma*****na Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know, distributed by Simon & Schuster, won the Next Generation Indie Book Award in the Social Justice Category, and has been optioned for a documentary film. His new book, One Nation Under the Influence, was published by Polity in November 2025. He regularly publishes op-eds and his work has been seen in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and other publications; he is also a regular columnist for Newsweek. He received his doctorate and master's degrees from Oxford University and BA from the University of California, Berkeley.
