We support the expansion of thoughtful and impactful education &amp; awareness campaigns that initiate intelligent & compassionate conversations amongst Canadians and people around the world about some of the core aspects of cannabis use:  Awareness of the laws &amp; regulations, medical efficacy, the science, and responsible use of both medical and recreational cannabis. Our Education Supporters understand that supporting the overall evolution of the cannabis space and industry is important, and also beneficial to them. </span></span><span style="font-size: 18px;">[spacer height="7px"]<strong>The Medicine Fund</strong>[spacer height="-1px"]Marijuana.Ca created The Medicine Fund as a think tank and project to identify impactful initiatives for us to allocate some of our resources towards. For many years now, Marijuana.Ca has given exposure on our website and thru social media to various organizations that are doing good work in the space.

These contributions will come from our various revenue streams, including from membership fees related to our Industry Network. We will begin making regular contributions to various organizations like<span style="color: #000000;"> <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://cfamm.ca/" target="_blank">CFAMM (Canadians For Fair Access To Medical Marijuana)</a>, <a style="color: #000000;" href="http://www.ccic.net/index.php?home&amp;lng=en" target="_blank">CCIC (The Canadian Consortium For The Investigation of Cannabinoids)</a>, <a style="color: #000000;" href="http://www.cannabis-med.org/index.php?lng=en" target="_blank">The International Assoc. for Cannabinoid Medicines</a>, <a style="color: #000000;" href="http://www.impactcannabis.org/" target="_blank">IMPACT Network</a>, <a style="color: #000000;" href="http://arthritis.ca/" target="_blank">The Arthritis Society</a></span>, and others.
