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

  1. Go to marijuana-anonymous.org. This is the fellowship's own site, so listings there are the authoritative ones.
  2. Open the meetings section. Look for the meeting schedule or meeting finder rather than a general "about" page.
  3. Narrow by location. Use district information to find meetings near you; districts are how MA groups local meetings.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
