Why We Need You
TO HELP FURTHER THE CAUSE
Further testing and research into the qualifying conditions for medical marijuana is imperative to ensure safe and effective treatment options for patients. As the medical and legal landscape surrounding marijuana evolves, it is crucial to establish evidence-based criteria for its use.
But until such time we must support those organizations that are willing to offer their support to local families and individuals that are suffering from the chronic pains of cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and many other qualifying conditions that can be treated by medical cannabis.
The Mary Jane Jog Run/Walk presented by Affordable Marijuana License will help provide critical funds for lifesaving research and awareness outreach to vulnerable communities.
Register today. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about this year’s event.
