About Marijuana Anonymous

Marijuana Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share our experience, strength, and hope with each other that we may solve our common problem and help others to recover from marijuana addiction.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using marijuana. There are no dues or fees for membership. We are self supporting through our own contributions. MA is not affiliated with any religious or secular institution or organization and has no opinion on any outside controversies or causes. Our primary purpose is to stay free of marijuana and to help the marijuana addict who still suffers achieve the same freedom. We can do this by practicing our suggested twelve steps of recovery and by being guided as a group by our twelve traditions.

Marijuana Anonymous uses the basic 12 Steps of Recovery founded by Alcoholics Anonymous, because it has been proven that the 12 Step Recovery program works!

Our District

The fellowship of Marijuana Anonymous is divided into Districts, usually based upon geography. District 6 represents much of the the northern portion of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, including the San Fernando Valley, and hosts 10 weekly meetings.

This Web Site

madistrict6.org is maintained by the District Service Committee (DSC) of MA District 6. It is intended as a resource for our members and focuses upon issues which concern our District.
