Consider coming out to hold a candle, reflect on the friends and family of ours with pain and suffering and potentially meet some of your Maryland State Delegates and Senators. We will have great posters for you to hold or feel free to bring some of your own. This is just one of our four events for Medical Marijuana Week! Please do not let transportation be an issue. Contact us (Earthchar@hotmail.com, md4safeaccess@gmail.com) for carpool details, or let us know if you would like to volunteer as a carpool driver. Did you hear the good news? In response to recent DEA raids in California, the Obama White House said “The president believes that federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws, and as he continues to appoint senior leadership to fill out the ranks of the federal government, he expects them to review their policies with that in mind." Now it's more important than ever to show your support for President Obama in his promise to end medical marijuana raids, and to help bring changes to Marylands medical marijuana law that provide safe and legal access for patients in need. For the 7th year in a row activists across the nation will be organizing Medical Marijuana Week. (MMJ Week) Held every year during the week of Feb. 15, it's an empowering week of events and activities to raise awareness about the growing support for safe and legal access to cannabis for therapeutic use and research throughout the nation.
