Support Our POWs During this Year’s Medical Marijuana Week

Every year during medical marijuana week, I like to sit down and consider what I’m thankful about in the medical cannabis movement. After such a turbulent year fraught with raids, bad court decisions, and friends being sent to federal prison, I find I’m most thankful for the brave medical cannabis warriors who have lost their freedom for our cause. For this reason, the theme of ASA’s MMJ Week activities is “Have a Heart for our POWs.”

Every day this week, ASA has a suggested list of advocacy activities you can do to support our POWs and the medical cannabis community. Writing a letter to our POWs , attending a local MMJ week event, and contacting your elected representatives are easy ways to make an impact this week, and I urge you to participate in these actions!

I’m also looking forward to seeing many of you at our Unity Conference in DC in just over a week. We have great speakers and trainings lined up for attendees, and we’re excited for a fun and educational experience! The thing I’m most looking forward to, is storming Capitol Hill with all my fellow activists for a day of face-time with our elected officials. It’s going to be epic, and I can’t wait to share the experience with everyone who can make it.
