The next meeting of The DC Center's HIV Working Group takes place Wednesday January 20th at 7:00 PM at the new location of The DC Center, 1810 14th St, NW.
This months meeting will include a presentation and discussion on medical marijuana, HIV/AIDS, and the District of Columbia.
Wayne Turner will be our guest speaker. Wayne Turner spearheaded a referendum on medical marijuana in DC more than a decade ago. The measure was approved by DC voters, but Congress put on a rider, prohibiting the city from implementing the law, and renewed that rider every year -- until this current budget year. With the federal restrictions gone, Wayne will discuss why medical marijuana is an important issue to people living with HIV/AIDS in the District, and how this issue may move forward.
