How to Find Marijuana Anonymous Meetings and Events on marijuana-anonymous.org
Updated
Marijuana Anonymous (MA) lists its meetings and events through marijuana-anonymous.org, the official site of the fellowship. The site describes MA as "a simple program based on one addict helping another," and it is where you go to locate a meeting schedule, find your local district, and check for upcoming gatherings. For example, the site has promoted a District 6 Halloween Party listed for 8:00 PM – 11:30 PM PDT, which shows how events appear with a date, time, and time zone. Use the site when you want to attend an MA meeting or event; use local district contacts when you need details the public listing doesn't cover.
What the site provides for finding support
- Meeting schedules — the primary reason to visit if you're looking for a meeting to attend.
- Local district information — MA organizes meetings by district, and district pages are where nearby support is grouped.
- Event listings — gatherings such as district parties appear with date and time details (the Halloween Party example includes both, plus the PDT time zone).
- Contact routes — contact or district pages help you reach the people who can confirm or explain local details.
Step-by-step: locating a meeting or event
- Go to marijuana-anonymous.org. This is the fellowship's own site, so listings there are the authoritative ones.
- Open the meetings section. Look for the meeting schedule or meeting finder rather than a general "about" page.
- Narrow by location. Use district information to find meetings near you; districts are how MA groups local meetings.
- Check the event listings. Events appear with a date and time, so confirm the day and the stated time zone before planning to attend — the Halloween Party example is listed in PDT, which matters if you're in another zone.
- Verify before traveling. Use the contact or district page to confirm a meeting or event is still happening, especially for one-time events.
Expected result: you should end up with a specific meeting or event, its date and time (with time zone), and a district contact if you need to confirm details.
Common sticking points
- Time zones. Listings may state a zone such as PDT. Convert it to your local time before you go.
- One-time events vs. regular meetings. A party listing is not a recurring meeting; check the meeting schedule separately for ongoing support.
- District boundaries. If no meeting appears nearby, check the neighboring district's page — local grouping determines what shows up.
- Stale details. Confirm with a district contact before traveling to an event you found only in a listing.
Deciding what to use
| If you want to… | Use… |
|---|---|
| Attend a regular meeting | The meeting schedule, filtered by district |
| Attend a specific gathering | The event listings, noting date and time zone |
| Confirm details or ask locally | Contact or district pages |
| Understand what MA is first | The site's program description ("one addict helping another") |
If you're unsure whether MA fits your situation, the site's description of its program is the place to start; if you've decided to attend, go straight to the meeting schedule and your district's page.
