A decade of progress

If you've got the cash, Marijuana Policy Project is having its 10th annual bash and it sounds like it will be quite a party. Acclaimed comic, actor, and Emmy Award-winning comedy writer Rick Overton will serve as master of ceremonies, honoring Montel Williams, U.S. Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA), and U.S. Supreme Court medical marijuana plaintiff Angel Raich. I'm sorry I'm going to miss the fun.

The gala will be held at the Washington Court Hotel on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, May 4. Regular tickets are $250 and VIP tickets (which include a special VIP reception and preferred seating) are $500. A limited number of student/limited income tickets are also available for $150.

Proceeds will benefit MPP's important and effective work for reform and the protection of medical marijuana patients. For details, go to the site.
