:thumbsup:Welcome tre93543 (I have no clue where that is);

Check out the threads in So. Cali....;)You missed a neat party, last night! There is plenty to do around the I.E...plus, L.A., OC and San Diego. The parties are a magnet to growers and patients.

Last night I soberly sat in a room amazed...I am not sure when, I've seen so many sharing and having a good time! Plenty of wax, music and food. The wax, appeared to be a sativa, for sure. All the quiet reserved people, were 'moving' about and conversing! I learn more, at these parties, than I did in kindergarten! lol

At my age, I never thought I'd see the day....Well, it is here! For sure! To be in a room with so many people enjoying their medicine and caring people that 'understand' disease and illness. Helping each other with information, etc.

If the iehwc case goes before the Supreme Court (soon I hope-but looking like later in the year)..no matter where you are, you'll hear the celebratory roars! The groups in the South are the most active!! We have grow classes, patient support groups, learning the health benefits of marijuana seminars, golf and trips together..you name it, we've probably done it or will!

Enjoy our beatiful state, from the dirt up to toker flower tops!

If you can't find what you are looking for, ask, surely another patient, will help you out!:rasta: pr

thank you for the kind reception painretreat. I will look for these parties you speak of. 93543 is in the antelope valley, 1 hr. north of L.A.

:thumbsup:I recently moved (from this side of the County Line off 138). We have members from that area and I believe there is an active either Norml or ASA (Americans for Safe Access), in the Lancaster area. However, there are now meetings in Victorville..once a month, with MAPP. And a support group for patients, lead by Grandpa Tom (which I try to attend, as well).

If it were me, I'd go to both meetings...In fact, it may be approximately, equal distance for you, either VV or Riverside. Most likely about the same time for the drive, as well! Either way, you will have to travel 'blood alley' (hwy 138). I have been to the Victorville meetings, they are held on the other side of Hesperia, almost to the Marianna's.
Having worked in the High Desert ER's, I prefer to drive anywhere, except the HIGH Desert, too many alcoholics on the roads.

Looking at the w...maps.c Many collectives have opened up, in that area. The biggest problem is, from what I understand, Landlords sending eviction notice's to the vendors, as a result of the Feds threatening to take the property.

There is a nice group in Victorville/Hesperia, mostly patient growers, collectives and delivery services. Lanny speaks, in VV, once a month, I think it is the 3rd Thursday, but you can find it in the Newsletter.

I like both groups; Well honestly, I've been to all the group meetings, at one time or another. I realized, I enjoy these and look forward to them, more than I did Church (however, I had more duties at Church, so this is much more fun, naturally)!

There are a few patient/growers from your area, when we have special speakers! ;) Sure wish there were a motel across the street from the Riverside clinic/center, I would enjoy it, even more!:jointsmile: I have to be feeling pretty bad to miss a meeting.

Last months speaker was Martin Lee, author of Smoke Signals! It was a really great meeting. There is a radio show on Monday evenings, you can link in from the internet; And another on Thursdays, about sports and weed. I haven't listened to that one yet, but I am in love with the guys that run the show! If I were a younger person...I have met my dance partner! LOL

Right now are the most exciting times...I am glad, I get to be a part of this. It seems strange to have ended my profession, which was a passion and to focus on Medicinal Marijuana, as my favorite passion, for my age!

The Center/Clinic is close to the I-10 and I-15 North/West side of Riverside. We have members of all ages and disease/illness. You cannot imagine, how great it feels, to be around a bunch of Medicinal Marijuana patients, your own age!! I could never have imagined this, in my lifetime. Now, I visualize...Legalization!:cool: pr
