The Human Solution began showing at expos and conferences in 2009 when Cheryl Shuman offered our first table gratis at Hempcon. We were a fledgling but eager group. We had never done anything like this but we had a banner, a table skirt, some freshly printed t shirts, brochures and of course solidarity ribbons.

We stumbled and bumbled but by the weekend’s end we were educating folks about our mission and what they could do to help. Since then we have been invited to many expos and conferences. Always gratis as we are a grass roots organization that does much more giving away than selling, Sometimes we would help  out  setting things up or speaking  but we have never been charged to show up and educate.

I have been an instructor with Mcc training center for nearly 2 years now, teaching Mcc 123 Standards, extracts, dosage and labeling. Liz has been very supportive of The Human Solution’s activist work and when my trial revealed the terrible corruption of the justice system and our ability to sustain an 18 day rally at the Long Beach Courthouse, she understood what we were all about.

Liz and I have become close friends and have worked closely on many cutting edge projects that will one day help cannabis be accepted as mainstream medicine again. She mentioned the Norml conference but I had little interest as it was so expensive and to be honest, we weren’t invited.

Liz ultimately registered and when Norml was unwilling to bend, we finally accepted an end to our nearly 4 year run of grass roots education supported by community. The Human Solution earlier this year decided to trade in it’s corporate non profit structure for that of a 501 c7 org. It turned out that maintaining a corporate board that actually functioned without salaries was not a reality. The looser structured “C7″ structure allows the group to function as activists  as needed and chapters can form with ease without the corporate demands.

Liz Mc Duffy has sponsored our table and will be sharing our space Oct 3-7 at the Omni Hotel in Los Angeles. This will enable us to reach out to the attendees from around the nation. We are offering change through education and support. Our Court support, Defendant’s resource, prison outreach and activist training help empower the individual as well as unify people that share common goals yet represent different groups. and don’t forget those solidarity ribbons!

We will be unveiling our new prison outreach newsletter “The Light bulb” as well as our newly redesigned brochure. we will focus on membership drive, new chapters as well as offering support to today’s cannabis defendants.and reaching out to support current cannabis prisoners.  Come join us at our table and let us know how you are a part of the solution!

see you there
