Let us celebrate all of those who have won legal battles or are currently in the middle of a legal battle to protect their state-given, voter-approved right to use medical marijuana.

Independence Day. Labor Day. Memorial Day. Flag Day. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Groundhog Day. Valentine’s Day. President’s Day. St Patrick’s Day. Tax Day… so why not Cannabis Defense Day?

Granted, some of these days of remembrance are more meaningful than others, but this country observes an absurd amount holidays without giving credence to all of those who have defended their right to use medical marijuana for ailments and diseases that have consumed their lifetimes with struggle.
Let us celebrate all of those who have won legal battles or are currently in the middle of a legal battle to protect their state-given, voter-approved right to use medical marijuana. It is time we raise awareness and hope for the growing masses that must struggle with not only accessing medicine that they need and have been given the right to but also defend that right in a court of law after being subject to misappropriation in the news and public eye.

We declare June 21st, the solstice and the longest day of the year Cannabis Defense Day. If you or someone you know has endured the struggle of defending their rights as patients to treat ailments or diseases with medical marijuana, let us raise our pipes, joints, bongs and blunts and fire one up and enjoy it together as Americans, human beings, and the growing majority of these United States that’s A-ok with our friend Mary Jane.
