Join Americans for Safe Access, Realm of Caring, the US Pain Foundation and Veterans 22 Initiative in DC this September to Ensure Patients Shape the Future of Medical Cannabis Policy. The Validated Voices Summit is the first medical cannabis event on Capitol Hill following the confirmation by HHS and DOJ that cannabis has accepted medical value and will be the last national event before the election. Leading up to the event, ASA will be hosting a series of virtual educational seminars, training, and community-building events, as well as actions attendees can participate in on their "Voyage to DC," including gathering patient stories, press outreach about their voyage, and educational events.
Today, we stand at a pivotal moment. Congress and the Administration are addressing critical cannabis policy issues, and without strong advocacy, patient perspectives risk being overshadowed by better-funded interests. The Validated Voices Summit is your opportunity to ensure that patient are a priority in DC.
Your participation is crucial. By attending the Validated Voices Summit, you are not just a part of the conversation—you are a driving force for change.
