Cannabis Action Network is a state-wide not-for-profit. We are made up of an experienced leadership team implementing strategies that bring us closer to ending cannabis prohibition. We believe people should have access to the whole plant, that home cultivation should be a right, and that no one should be punished for personal use of cannabis.
