1. RIPAC IS NOW HIRING A NEW ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR
- Calling all patient advocates: we're looking to expand the staff of RIPAC! If you're looking for a job, and you've got what it takes, visit www.RIpatients.org/jobs to view the Associate Director posting and learn how to apply.
- Please pass along the job description link to anyone who'd be interested. We're especially seeking applications from folks with background experience in law, law enforcement, and medicine.
- Leading medical marijuana researcher Dr. Donald Abrams is seeking patients for a new federally-approved study investigating marijuana's interaction with opiod pain medications like oxycodone and morphine.
- Click here for the details of this paid 5-day study in San Francisco. The study needs more patients! If you meet the criteria and enroll, please let us know!
- At 7:30pm on Wednesday, October 3, the SSDP chapter at the University of Connecticut will host a discussion on medical marijuana in CT. The panel will include a legislator, a patient, and an activist, and will be held at the UConn-Storrs campus. The event's flyer is here.
- RIPAC members are planning to make the 90-minute drive, in solidarity with CT patients and activists. Contact RIPAC if you'd like to come too.
- Do you, or does someone you know, have a used car to donate (or sell cheaply) to a good cause? As an IRS-recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization, RIPAC would happily offer a tax deduction in return.
- Do you know of a business in Providence with room to spare? RIPAC is looking for a good deal on office space. Contact us if you have a tip on a car or an office rental.
- RIPAC's next medical marijuana Community Meeting for patients, caregivers, advocates, and anyone else interested in learning more will be 7pm, Tuesday, October 16. Contact RIPAC for more information.
- Our next Cardholder Meeting, only for licensed patients and caregivers in the RI Medical Marijuana Program, will be 7pm, Tuesday, October 30. If you are a licensed patient or caregiver and would like to attend, contact RIPAC here.
Have a healthy day,
