1. Mary Watts talks about where she gets her passion for politics.  Mary describes for us a bit of the Democratic Party process to elect Assembly District (AD) Delegates to the Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC) every two years, since the biennial meeting is scheduled this Saturday morning in Santa Rosa at the Odd Fellows Hall for registered Democrats to vote for the delegates, of which half of the 14 delegates are to be self-identified females. After a breakfast  the voting begins at 11 AM.  According tot the Party website, “AD Delegates to the Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC) are responsible for planning and attending informational meetings throughout the region and working with other DSCC delegates throughout California to represent their community.”

About our Guest: Mary Watts recently ran  for Santa Rosa City Council in the first election by districts in the city history. Though she was unsuccessful in her bid for the Council seat, she continues her community work as Deputy Director for the Community Action Partnership (CAP) in the county of Sonoma.  She is a candidate to be a Democratic Party Assembly District Delegate and Executive Board to the Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC) of California.

Last week’s guest Leslie Graves wrote on Facebook about the Families Belong Together Rally of Saturday June 30:

“Hung out with 3000+ friends, family and community yesterday ….
So many moments touched my heart – from the individual stories of each of our amazing speakers to those who came and told me their stories afterwards. Courthouse Square was made for events like this where the community comes together to affect change. We are all connected and now thanks to great front line community groups we have the resources to take action in that change. Thank you again to everyone for coming out and standing together! #familiesbelongtogether”

Guest 1. Felicia Accomazzo shares her journey with cannabis first as a casual smoker for relaxation then a few years later as a patient.  3 years ago at the age of 30 she was found to have a rare brain tumor and she decided to treat herself with cannabis extracts while being monitored by her neurologist. The California Compassionate Use Act of 1996 made it legal in the state to use cannabis for medical purposes. The latest scans have pleased the neurologist because of the shrinkage of the tumor.  Felicia with her organizational skills and healing passion has now teamed up with Mercy Wellness in producing the Elevated CCC conference this weekend, April 16-17 in Rohnert Park, CA.

Guest 2.  Elle Yung shares her journey with cannabis and the concern of dispensaries and patients and growers over the legal requlations that have recently been legislated in California and signed by the Governor into law as the  Medical Marijuana Regulations & Safety Act (MMRSA).  The new law came almost 20  years after the Compassionate Use Act was voted into law by California citizens. What started as a seed dream of the folks at Mercy Wellness developed rapidly into a well-responded project that attracted speakers of of educational value to all involved, including Assemblyman Jim Woods, who authored one of the 3 bills combined in MMRSA, and Lynnette Shaw, who opened the very first licensed California dispensary in 1997 and was recently vindicated in a federal appelate court decision..
