Democrats for Safe Access Medical Cannabis Rally

Richard Eastman, along with Making Social Change, is planning a medical cannabis rally and march, under the name Democrats for Safe Access at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Co. The required permits were applied for some time ago and were initially denied. However, after some persistence and assistance from the ACLU, the necessary permits were issued for a demonstration up to 10,000 people. We invite you to come and join us in asking the next presidential nominee of the Democratic Party for his support. We seek the support of a unified Party to require their candidate, if elected President, to stop federal criminalization of medical cannabis. We urge any and all groups who have an interest in this cause (i.e.: political watchdogs, patient advocates, voter's rights, associated industries, etc.) and individuals alike to provide whatever assistance they can through sponsoring and/or volunteering. Please contact Duke Smith, Event Chairman, at (818) 914-9560 to coordinate efforts. Democrats for Safe Access 4848 Lexington Ave., Suite 109, Hollywood, CA 90029 Tel: 323-474-4602, Fax: 323-882-6263

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].
