Welcome!
The Marijuana Anonymous World Service Conference is the forum at which group conscience throughout MA is expressed and decisions are made that affect MA as a whole. The Conference is also where much of MA World Service work is performed and is required by our Bylaws and to maintain our non-profit status. Trustees and Committee Chairs are selected at the Conference. The Conference also provides the opportunity to meet MA members from other districts and share experience, strength, and hope. This sharing provides the unity that binds all members to our common purpose
