Ann Arbor Medical Marijuana Patient’s Collective Meeting
Ann Arbor Medical Marijuana Patient's Collective
FYI – There will be another patient collective meeting on the 22nd of June.
When:
Tuesday, June 22nd, 7:00 PM
These meetings are an excellent opportunity for caregivers and patients to keep up to date and network, as well as to learn all about the different resources that are available.
I do not have any info on who will be there or the topics of discussion, but no doubt there will be something you will want to hear.
Check it out and if you find it useful be sure to donate a dollar or two to help cover their costs.
Details after the break…

Marijuana Not Just for Smoking Anymore
PORTLAND, Ore. – At the Mothers Against Misuse and Abuse clinic in Southeast Portland, Sandee Burbank relieved her arthritic hands with a dose of medical marijuana using an ointment she made herself from cannabis, glycerin and beeswax.

“The side effects were so severe, I just couldn’t do it,” she said.
Burbank is the founder of Mothers Against Misuse and Abuse, or MAMA. Her daughter, Jenny, is among her employees. Even though Jenny is not a medical marijuana patient herself, she speaks to community groups about it. Read more…
