ASA's Annual Medical Marijuana Week is a week-long series of actions and events has been an ASA February landmark. Meant to promote awareness and educate about medical cannabis, the focus is, for one week, to get everyone involved in taking part in celebrating the fight and activism that has brought medical cannabis laws to where it is today, with 72 million people living 13 states with laws that protect them - and to where it will go in the future: nothing short of federal protections for the patients who use cannabis! If you're in the area, come out to participate! |
