FARR TO BE HONORED BY MARIJUANA PROJECT

The Marijuana Policy Project, a marijuana advocacy group, will honor Rep. 
Sam Farr, D-Carmel, May 4 in Washington, D.C.

Farr has led efforts in Congress to protect medical marijuana patients from 
federal prosecution, including supporting the 2003 States' Rights to 
Medical Marijuana Act.

Television talk show host Montel Williams also will be honored at the 
event. Williams, who uses marijuana to treat symptoms of multiple 
sclerosis, visited Capitol Hill and the New York Legislature to advocate 
for medical marijuana patients who appeared on his show.

A second gala May 9 will recognize actor and comedian Tommy Chong.
