Want To Get Directly Involved With Helping Patients?

[Fat Freddy]

To serve local communities the Michigan Medical Marijuana Association (3MA) has envisioned a network of patient support groups or compassion clubs through out the state. These clubs would provide information and support for patients in the immediate area and would be supported with materials, newsletters and speakers from the 3MA. They would operate no differently than any other condition-based patient support group such as a cancer support group, for example, or a chronic pain support group.

We are currently interested in helping develop a club of this type in your area, and we need volunteers to get this winderful idea initiated.

These groups would introduce patients to the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA), help them with emotional support, registration, discuss current legal and legislative news, provide a safe enviroment for patients to meet caregivers, as well as other actions to support the local medical marijuana (MMJ) community. They are not for sharing medicine, seeds or clones. Members of cancer support groups do not bring their medications to meetings to share with everyone else, and neither should the members of a compassion club.

Medicine cannot be transfered in any way, shape or form, nor can the clubs endorse any transfers other than from a caregiver to his/her registered patient. They are for facilitating the meeting of accomplished caregivers and registered patients only. The clubs cannot endorse or support any questionably legal bahavior such as a co-op or farmer’s market, and must completely comply with the 3MA policy of unambiguous compliance while we fight to improve the rights and protections of patients.

The 3MA will give you full support in achieving this important and rewarding mission and help in trying to obtain a meeting place and advertising for your meetings, as well as provide informational packets to keep your group operating. Someone is available daily to help with any and all problems you may have.

By organizing into a statewide network of community-based, "grass-roots" compassion clubs, we become a powerful force encouraging legislators, law enforcement officials, and other opponents to work with us rather than against us. Acting together as a united block of voting power we ensure that Michigan's medical marijuana community is recognized and respected. Local Compassion Clubs, working in concert with the 3MA give voice to the whole MMJ community and help spread the idea that marijuana is a viable treatment option

Looks like tis turned into a discussion about rso or hash oil and has drifted away from the actual post?

This is a great ideal, but it is also one of the things Rick Jones is afraid of people helping people in a united way.
