ASA believes that good policy is created when those who are most affected are at the table. ASA has always been committed to demystifying political systems and providing advocates the tools they need to participate in the processes in a meaningful way.

ASA’s think tank helps activists analyze and improve pending laws and regulations. We analyze the legislation and propose changes that incorporate what local patients need.

ASA staffs a toll-free legal hotline and uses the information gathered to develop authoritative reports for elected officials and media, track trends and identify opportunities for impact litigation.

ASA improves existing medical cannabis laws and regulations through impact litigation and filing amicus briefs.

Medical marijuana patients are getting arrested, going to trial, and going to jail all over the country. As advocates, it is our job to highlight these injustices both in state and federal courts. Court support is a group of tactics used to support a patient or caregiver while they are going through state and federal legal systems.
