ACLU-WA needs medical marijuana stories

[eridani]

The ACLU of Washington’s Marijuana Education Project is collecting personal stories from individuals who have suffered unfair consequences as a result of their marijuana use, such as loss of housing, jobs, child visitation, or student loans. These stories will be used to better understand and address these consequences. Your privacy will be protected.

This Monday, September 10, the Washington state Department of Health will be holding the first of four workshops to determine what constitutes a 60-day supply of medical marijuana. Since Washington’s medical marijuana law went into effect in 1998, this amount has not been defined, leaving both patients and law enforcement alike with little guidance as to how much marijuana a patient may possess.

The first workshop will be held in Seattle on Monday, September 10, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the Central Public Library. To check the dates, times, and locations of the following three workshops in Spokane, Vancouver, and Yakima, click here. http://www.doh.wa.gov/hsqa/medical-marijuana/MtgLoc.htm If you attend, please dress professionally and be respectful of everyone in attendance, including any opposition.
