Women Advancing Medical Cannabis March

Please come get involved! You are cordially invited to join with Women Advancing Medical Cannabis for a symbolic march to City Hall. We will display our patriotism as citizens dedicated to the will of the people and our empathy for all patients who feel bereft of hope that safe access will remain a reality. We at WAMC are your sisters, mothers, lovers and friends. We need your support more than ever before. If you would like to RSVP, please do so to march@wamcla.org; our website is still blossoming but available at http://www.wamcla.org, as well as our MySpace, at http://www.myspace.com/wamcla. We have flyers available for you to print and distribute at our website and MySpace, and some of your favorite collectives will have them as well. We are in the process of organizing provided transportation via bus and van, so please let us know if you are interested so that we may reserve the necessary amount of seats for what will be a united, beautifully orchestrated arrival of many of us at once. (Again, some of your favorite collectives may have sign-up sheets concerning transportation.) We urge all interested parties to march alongside us - be they in wheelchairs, walkers, canes or in need of someone to lean on while we make our way up to City Hall. How you 'march' is how you feel, and it shows. WHO ARE THESE WOMEN? We are not Sondheim's Ladies Who Lunch. We have little appreciation for cocktails of Flexeril, Ambien, Oxycodone or Actiq followed by multiple Mimosas. We are concerned patients who are dedicated to the further enrichment of the Medical Cannabis community and survival of safe access for all patients. We are your mothers, sisters, daughters and partners; we seek to merge these traits into the minds of those who know not what a 'patient is'. We hope to see you there. Spread the word! The more the merrier. Thank you! Lauren Rothman Women Advancing Medical Cannabis E-mail: la@eloquentscream.com
