Dear LAPCG Members & Friends,
All of us here at the Los Angeles Patients and Caregivers Group (LAPCG) in West
Hollywood want to wish you a safe, happy, and healthy New Year. We look forward
to seeing you in person at LAPCG soon. Be sure to have a look at our online menu to
see our daily selections and lower reimbursement costs.
LAPCG will close early at 6:00 PM on Thursday, December 31, and be closed all day
on Friday, January 1. We will reopen for our regular hours on Saturday, January 2.
Know Your Medicine: Durban Poison x Haze
Durban Poison x Haze is a strongly sativa dominate hybrid of medical cannabis, made
by combining two hardy genomes. Durban Poison is grown here in California, but has
its genetic roots in Africa; while Haze comes from the Americas and adds its distinct
aroma to the mix. Patients like the fact that Durban Poison x Haze does not have the
sedentary effects that make medicating during the day difficult. One member reports
that this potent variety is great for migraines.
Community Forum on Medical Cannabis
Americans for Safe Access (ASA) is hosting a community forum on medical cannabis
on Saturday, January 16, at the West Hollywood Park Auditorium to discuss recent
developments in local regulations, and what comes next in the local, state, and
national campaign for safe access. This is a great chance for LAPCG members who
want to get more involved in patient advocacy to network and get plugged in. The
forum is free and begins at 1:00 PM. Speakers and the program will be announced
soon.
Glaucoma Awareness Month
January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, and LAPCG is looking for members who use
cannabis to treat this condition and are interested in being profiled in some of our
online outreach materials. We are looking for someone who wants to tell how
cannabis helps him or her, and what safe access means in their life. This is part of an
ongoing effort to help condition-specific advocacy groups recognize how medical
cannabis impacts their constituency, and to build a broader coalition of support for
patients' rights. Please respond to this message if you can help.
Be sure to check online for our daily discounts and specials for new and returning
members. Thanks for supporting LAPCG!
Sincerely,
The Crew
Los Angeles Patients & Caregivers Group
