What Is the Marijuana Anonymous Phone Meetings - District 28 Website?

Updated

ma-phone.org is the phone-meeting information page for Marijuana Anonymous (MA) District 28. It is aimed at people who want to stop using marijuana (cannabis) and points them to more than 35 phone meetings a week, listed in Eastern time, plus newcomer FAQs, meeting readings, speaker tapes, and other recovery resources. It is a meeting-and-resource hub rather than a general information site about cannabis.

Who the site is for

The page states its audience directly: "If you have a desire to stop using marijuana (cannabis), you have come to the right place." The site's description frames the same idea as a set of questions — whether you plan your life around cannabis use, and whether you have wanted to stop smoking pot or weed but could not. If either sounds familiar, the site's meetings and newcomer material are the relevant parts.

What the site offers

The page is organized around a small number of functions:

  • Phone meetings. District 28 lists over 35 phone meetings per week, with times given in Eastern time. The main heading is "Join a phone meeting (Eastern time)."
  • Newcomer support. A Newcomer FAQ and newcomer meeting scripts are linked from the navigation.
  • Meeting readings and scripts. Links include meeting readings, prayers, and scripts for open meetings, newcomers, promises, and other formats.
  • Speaker tapes. A "MA Speaker Tapes Podcast" section and a Speaker Tapes link provide recorded talks.
  • Sobriety recognition. A "Virtual Sobriety Chips" page and a "Request a Chip" link let participants mark time in recovery.
  • Service and business material. The navigation includes group conscience agendas and minutes, chair guidelines and lists, meeting numbers, safety support, and service position descriptions.
  • Special-format meetings. Separate sections cover women's meetings and men's meetings, each with its own script and service documents.
  • Seventh Tradition contributions. A "Make a 7th tradition contribution" section covers the group's self-support practice; the page does not state amounts or payment methods.

How to use it

  1. Open the meeting schedule and pick a phone meeting. Note that listed times are Eastern, so convert for your location.
  2. Read the Newcomer FAQ and the newcomer script before your first call if you are unsure what happens on a phone meeting.
  3. Use the meeting readings and prayers pages to follow along during meetings.
  4. If you want a record of your progress, look at Virtual Sobriety Chips and the chip request page.
  5. For background listening between meetings, use the speaker tapes and podcast links.

What to keep in mind

The site is a district-level page, so its meeting list reflects District 28's schedule rather than every MA phone meeting worldwide. The navigation also links to the main Marijuana Anonymous site and an MA app, which are the places to check for meetings outside this district. The page does not publish prices, and nothing on it should be read as a claim that participation is free or requires no registration — confirm any call-in details on the meeting pages themselves.

If your goal is simply to find a phone meeting and understand what to expect on the call, this site gives you both in one place.
