The ceremony will begin at <br>  <br> 10:00 AM at our new home at 7213 Santa Monica <br>  <br> Blvd. in West Hollywood. Neighbors and community <br>  <br> members are invited to join us to meet our staff, <br>  <br> enjoy refreshments, and learn about this unique <br>  <br> new business. <br><br> The LAPCG is a legally-organized medical cannabis <br>  <br> (marijuana) association that provides safe access <br>  <br> to medication for patients suffering from AIDS, <br>  <br> cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and other <br>  <br> serious illnesses. The City of West Hollywood has <br>  <br> always supported medical cannabis patients and <br>  <br> providers, even in the face of federal <br>  <br> opposition. We are excited to be a part of this <br>  <br> tradition of compassion and courage. <br><br> In addition to medication, members of the LAPCG <br>  <br> will also enjoy free life-enhancing services. <br>  <br> Therapeutic massage, support groups, and <br>  <br> educational events will all begin this winter. <br>  <br> Members can also look forward to social <br>  <br> activities and entertainment at the LAPCG. One of <br>  <br> the most popular services we offer is a free peer <br>  <br> counseling program that helps patients and their <br>  <br> loved ones safely navigate the evolving legal and <br>  <br> cultural issues surrounding medical cannabis use. <br><br> Together with our parent association, the <br>  <br> Berkeley Patients Group, we provide substantial <br>  <br> funding for organizations that are committed to <br>  <br> protecting the rights of California&rsquo;s medical <br>  <br> cannabis patients and stopping the federal <br>  <br> prosecution of seriously ill people. We provide <br>  <br> sustaining support to Americans for Safe Access, <br>  <br> the country&rsquo;s largest and most effective medical <br>  <br> cannabis advocacy campaign. We have also provided <br>  <br> seed money for defendants in both US Supreme <br>  <br> Court cases concerning this issue. <br><br> The LAPCG is looking forward to meeting all of <br>  <br> our new neighbors and working together to help <br>  <br> patients suffering from AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, <br>  <br> multiple sclerosis, and other serious illnesses <br>  <br> in our community.
