What is Marijuana Anonymous?
Marijuana Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share our experience, strength, and hope with each other that we may solve our common problem and help others to recover from marijuana addiction.
The only requirement is a desire to stop using marijuana. There are no dues or fees for membership. MA is fully self-supporting through members’ contributions. MA is not affiliated with any religious or secular institution or organization and has no opinion on any outside controversies or causes.
Our primary purpose is to stay free of marijuana and to help the addict who still suffers achieve the same freedom. This is done by practicing the suggested Twelve Steps of recovery and by being guided by the Twelve Traditions.
Ultimately, hope for recovery lies in the individual addict’s ability to recognize that they have a problem and that they need help. The point at which one recognizes the need for help is commonly referred to as a “bottom” or a moment of clarity. The addict must have a true desire to stop using and the willingness to admit that the problem cannot be coped with alone.

WHAT IS RECOVERY DHARMA?
Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and community that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction. We believe that the traditional Buddhist teachings, often referred to as the Dharma, offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom.
We believe that recovery means empowerment, and we support each other as partners walking the path together. We believe that recovery is rooted in finding our own inner wisdom and individual journeys.
Recovery Dharma is founded on, and inspired by, Buddhism that originated in India and later on flourished in other regions of Asia (e.g., South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia). We deeply appreciate the Buddhist heritage that was protected and freely offered by the ancestors of these cultures.

What is Marijuana Anonymous?
Marijuana Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share our experience, strength, and hope with each other that we may solve our common problem and help others to recover from marijuana addiction.
The only requirement is a desire to stop using marijuana. There are no dues or fees for membership. MA is fully self-supporting through members’ contributions. MA is not affiliated with any religious or secular institution or organization and has no opinion on any outside controversies or causes.
Our primary purpose is to stay free of marijuana and to help the addict who still suffers achieve the same freedom. This is done by practicing the suggested Twelve Steps of recovery and by being guided by the Twelve Traditions.
Ultimately, hope for recovery lies in the individual addict’s ability to recognize that they have a problem and that they need help. The point at which one recognizes the need for help is commonly referred to as a “bottom” or a moment of clarity. The addict must have a true desire to stop using and the willingness to admit that the problem cannot be coped with alone.
MA – Marijuana Anonymous
Beyond Your Wildest Dreams
Tuesdays 8:30PM to 10:00PM PST
All addicts are welcome, regardless of nationality, age, race, gender identification, religion, or lack of religion. In accordance with Tradition Three: The desire to stop using marijuana is the only requirement for attendance.
