Marijuana Anonymous (MA) is a fellowship of men and women who share experience, strength, and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from marijuana addiction.The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using marijuana. There are no dues or fees for membership. MA is self-supporting through our own contributions. MA is not affiliated with any religious or secular institution or organization and has no opinion on any outside controversies or causes. The fellowship’s primary purpose is to stay free of marijuana and to help the marijuana addict who still suffers achieve the same freedom.
