MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS SUBJECT OF PRESENTATION
Mothers Against Misuse and Abuse ( MAMA ) will give a presentation, “America and Drugs – Still Crazy After All These Years,” at noon Monday at the Cannery Cafe, No. 1 Sixth St. This event is part of a statewide tour to celebrate MAMA’s 25 years dedicated to reducing the harm from drug use.
MAMA Executive Director Sandee Burbank will discuss how America’s approach to drugs can be improved to better protect people. MAMA’s program is based on personal responsibility and informed decision-making, with respect for human dignity.
Burbank, who is also the chairwoman of the Oregon Department of Human Services Advisory Committee on Medical Marijuana, will be accompanied by patients registered in the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program who are eager to discuss why they and 17,000 other Oregonians have turned to medical marijuana for relief from their qualifying conditions.
Medical marijuana is still surrounded by controversy and conflict between federal and state law. An initiative has been filed that, if it succeeds, would eliminate the OMMP. For information about MAMA, go to ( www.mamas.org )
