The American Medical Marijuana Association (AMMA)

AMMA was founded in cyberspace on October 27, 1999.

We are a group of volunteers working together to implement, preserve and protect the rights of medicinal cannabis patients through political activism. Our platform is based on the idea of not bargaining away people's rights. We believe that each person will have different needs, which are best determined by the patient and physician. What works well for one patient may not work for another.

Our activism includes aiding in the defense of cannabis patients should they be so unfortunate as to be prosecuted for their choice of medication. One way we are able to do this is through the sharing of successful motions, writs, declarations and demands.

Because California seems to be the testing grounds for medical cannabis patients it is not surprising to see most of the information originating from that state. AMMA's goal is to preserve California Health & Safety Code Sect. 11362.5, The Compassionate Use Act of 1996. This was a well-written law that law enforcement officers say is too vague. However, this law was not vague to the voters of California when they voted for it. Law enforcement is trying to re-write the law, infringing upon the rights of the voters, placing conditions that violate the California State Constitution. Law enforcement has been ignoring the will of the voters. There are political words that define this type of behavior against citizens.

Our AMMA Directors are the backbone of preserving the right of the voters, representing an overwhelming majority of compassionate Americans.
