DESCRIPTION:Compassionate Use Programs Return March 1st\n\nWAMM Phytotherapies and 
 KindPeoples Join Forces to Provide Free Cannabis to Eligible 
 Patients\n\nSince statewide legalization in January 2018 all cannabis 
 products were subject to cultivation, excise and use taxes. This new 
 framework effectively eliminated compassion programs that had provided free 
 and low-cost products to patients in need.  (Producers and retailers were 
 responsible to remit taxes on all products regardless of whether they were 
 sold or donated, making the costs associated with such a program 
 prohibitive.)\n\nOn Sunday, March 1st, SB34, the Dennis Peron and Brownie 
 Mary Act will restore the ability of producers and retailers to provide 
 donated products to eligible patients without the tax liability.\n\nTo mark 
 the occasion the reorganized WAMM (Wo/Mens Alliance for Medical Marijuana), 
 now WAMM Phytotherapies, will team up with KindPeoples, 533 Ocean St. Santa 
 Cruz, to provide eligible WAMM patients access to free cannabis products. 
 The first distribution will be celebrated on Sunday, starting at 12pm with 
 a press conference at 1pm featuring comments by Khalil Moutawakkil, founder 
 of KindPeoples and Valerie Corral, Director of WAMM Phytotherapies along 
 with other WAMM patients and supporters.. Regular distributions will 
 commence on March 17.\n\nWAMM, founded in 1992, was considered the gold 
 standard for its programs to provide free and low-cost cannabis to patients 
 with cancer, AIDs, MS, epilepsy and other life threatening conditions. The 
 high taxes and compliance costs forced WAMM to cease operations when the 
 new state regulations took effect.\n\nWAMM has reorganized as WAMM 
 Phytotherapies but remains under the leadership of co-founder Valerie 
 Corral.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/02/25/18831055.php
