Dear Friends and Supporters of Medical Marijuana in Alabama,
On Feb. 13, 2010, beginning at 1 p.m., members of Alabamians for Compassionate Care will kick off International Medical Marijuana Week with a celebration in Birmingham, Alabama with a pot luck dinner, fellowship, speakers and a short demonstration. If you plan to attend, please bring a covered dish to share with other attendees.
Later on, we plan to have individual patients tell their stories about why they use medical marijuana, what they have to endure to get their medicine, and how such obstacles have negatively impacted their lives.
We will conclude our event by marching from 2330 Highland Ave. down to the fountain at 5 Points South and the back to the Hwy 280 overpass. Please make and bring signs about medical marijuana. Possible slogans include
I am a PATIENT not a criminal
My other medicine is addictive
STOP ARRESTING PATIENTS
MAKE MEDICAL MARIJUANA LEGAL
Please feel free to make up your own sign slogans so long as they have to do with medical marijuana.
The address of our celebration is
2330 Highland Ave. South (on Southside)
This location is right next to Caldwell Park. Should our group become too large for the location we have selected we can and will spill over into the park, weather permitting.
Load your cars and trucks up with as many people as you can find and we look forward to seeing you there.
If you have questions or need further information please feel free to email me at [email protected]. You can also contact our Outreach coordinator Christie O'Brien at 205-907-6131 [email protected] or by contacting our Web Coordinator Penny Vaughan at 256-276-0083 or [email protected]

Anyone in the Mobile Bay area who would like to attend, please PM me if you need transportation. This is a one-day event.
Coming up the 1st week of March, 2010, we will be having a rally outside the capitol building in Montgomery, Alabama, while our people testify before the judiciary committee inside. We need to gather all the people we can to hold signs & show support for medical marijuana.
Contact your friends & family & help us get this bill passed in Alabama.
Cheers,
FG
IMPORTANT NOTE:
On Feb. 13, Alabamians for Compassionate Care will hold a celebration in honor of International Medical Marijuana Week. From the looks of things, this event has the potential to be very large.
We want to remind everyone planning to attend that medical marijuana is not yet legal in Alabama. Therefore, we strongly advise against traveling to or from this event with your medication. Alabamians for Compassionate Care WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for anyone who chooses to ignore this advice. In other words, if you get arrested for possession of marijuana or for consuming marijuana at this event you will be on your own.
Additionally, Rep. Patricia Todd may drop in and say hello. We would not want the actions of those in attendance to make her look bad or cause her problems as sponsor of our bill.
Please keep that in mind as you make your plans to attend.
Thanks,
ACC Staff
