Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting at a New West Hollywood

Medical Cannabis Association

The Los Angeles Patients and Caregivers Group

(LAPCG) is pleased to announce its grand opening

and ribbon cutting ceremony with the West

Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday,

December 14, 2004. The ceremony will begin at

10:00 AM at our new home at 7213 Santa Monica

Blvd. in West Hollywood. Neighbors and community

members are invited to join us to meet our staff,

enjoy refreshments, and learn about this unique

new business.

The LAPCG is a legally-organized medical cannabis

(marijuana) association that provides safe access

to medication for patients suffering from AIDS,

cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and other

serious illnesses. The City of West Hollywood has

always supported medical cannabis patients and

providers, even in the face of federal

opposition. We are excited to be a part of this

tradition of compassion and courage.

In addition to medication, members of the LAPCG

will also enjoy free life-enhancing services.

Therapeutic massage, support groups, and

educational events will all begin this winter.

Members can also look forward to social

activities and entertainment at the LAPCG. One of

the most popular services we offer is a free peer

counseling program that helps patients and their

loved ones safely navigate the evolving legal and

cultural issues surrounding medical cannabis use.

Together with our parent association, the

Berkeley Patients Group, we provide substantial

funding for organizations that are committed to

protecting the rights of California’s medical

cannabis patients and stopping the federal

prosecution of seriously ill people. We provide

sustaining support to Americans for Safe Access,

the country’s largest and most effective medical

cannabis advocacy campaign. We have also provided

seed money for defendants in both US Supreme

Court cases concerning this issue.

The LAPCG is looking forward to meeting all of

our new neighbors and working together to help

patients suffering from AIDS, cancer, glaucoma,

multiple sclerosis, and other serious illnesses

in our community. For more information about the
