Medical Marijuana Training
Currently, Maryland law protects seriously ill patients from being sentenced to prison for possessing marijuana if they can prove a "medical necessity" for using it. The maximum penalty for patients who prove a medical necessity is a $100 fine. However, the law does not protect them from arrest, and it does not provide them a way to safely access their medicine. Even patients who prove a medical necessity still end up with a criminal record!
Meeting of Medical Marijuana Patients and Advocates
The purpose of the meeting is to help build support for an effective medical marijuana bill in Maryland, which will protect patients from arrest and allow them safe access to their medicine, as well as to educate patients and others on the current law.If you would like more information about this meeting, please e-mail Zane Hurst at [email protected].
Training: Working with At-rIisk Inner-City Youth of Color
Interacting with youth to educate, empower, and enlighten is the most beneficial thing one can do to ensure that the youth of today can build self-efficacy to be leaders who act in the spirit of self-determination for tomorrow. This workshop is open to providers of youth who are interested in learning how societal factors (racism, sexism, heterosexism, militarism, etc.) play a role in youth's at-risk behavior, and how to mitigate the dangers involved that place them at-risk. Participants will look at not only how to incorporate societal factors into their prevention intervention programs, but also consider other activities, such as advocacy and peer education that can be used as effective harm reduction strategies for at-risk youth at their own programs and agencies.
