Hope Unlimited, a group of San Diego medical marijuana patients is seeking
to inform our political representatives and the public about the key issues
related to medical marijuana legislation. This issue has been at the
forefront of California politics for over a decade and is now understood by
San Diegans to be an issue of importance to our social and economic
well-being, our health and our states' rights.
Regular Hope Unlimited meetings are now being held every other Thursday at the Old Mill Cafe.
all are welcome at the Hope Support Gathering

Each Hope Meeting is a chance to make friends and get support!

Cannabis use is a health issue not a criminal matter. Over 40,000 patients
in San Diego have received doctor's recommendations to use and cultivate
cannabis. 300 to 500 new patients are created every month from the existing
doctor base in San Diego. These patients represent a wide spectrum of
people. Together, an informed public and political leadership can replace
the failed policy of cannabis prohibition with a policy that meets the needs
of all San Diego County residents.
The Hope Group performs Crucial and Necessary San Diego Community Outreach
Functions, such as passing out food to the homeless on Thanksgiving, or
donating medicine to qualified members. Please not that each meeting the
group passes a hat around and collects money to be IMMEDIATELY given back to
the poorest of the group.
We advocate politically, we are bringing people together. We are educating
people. We are bridging the gap between the Patients and the Politicians and
Law Enforcement. We are a liason between the street and policy. Activists,
Patients, Medical Professionals, and Public Policy people come together to
exchange ideas. We are providing Politicans to direct access to their
medical cannabis constituences. Our purpose is to lobby for ID cards issued
by the City to patients to protect us from arrest and unnecceary use of tax
dollars, and to replace the failed policy of cannabis prohibition with a
policy that meets the needs of all San Diego County residents.
Let us come together and find common ground. San Diego medical cannabis
patients continue to live in fear of arrest and incarceration for using
medical cannabis within the limits of the law. San Diego cannabis patients
refuse to live in fear. We refuse to stand by while others are hurting.
The Hope Group will celebrate our three year anniversary in May of 2009.
Three years of Hope members helping members heal from illness, ignorance,
suffering, and despair.
San Diego Hope support group meetings will continue to provide the kind of
sharing and caring that is crucial for a lifetime of wellness.
The Value of Hope Unlimited Support Group Meetings:
Giving you the opportunity to reach out to others and benefit from the
experience of those who have "been there."
Helping to Motivate you to follow your treatment plan.
Helping you understand that your illness does not define who you are.
Helping you rediscover strengths and humor you may have thought you had
lost.
Providing a forum for mutual acceptance, understanding and self-discovery.
Hope Group's focus topics for January 29th meeting
**The Hope Group cares and wants to learn about what you are doing that is
working! **
**What is Prop 215? What are my rights as a patient? What are my options for
obtaining medical cannabis? How can I get involved with the San Diego
Medical Cannabis Community?**
**If you need a caregiver or more information on how to obtain medical
cannabis there will be a chance to let speak up and let people know you need
help; although the hope group is not a dispensary we do practice free speech
and can refer you to a collective in San Diego or north into
Orange/Riverside/Los Angeles area**
**We will be discussing what a collective is and how patients can join
together to ensure they have access to high quality medicine that heals
them.**
**We will review any recent court cases, court decisions, precedents, and
medical cannabis news**
