AMMA was founded in cyberspace on October 27, 2000, by Steve Kubby, Ed Rosenthal, and Tod H. Mikuriya.
AMMA is a group of volunteers working together to implement, preserve and protect medicinal cannabis patients through political activism. AMMA's activism includes aiding in the defense of cannabis patients should they be prosecuted for possessing medical marijuana. One way AMMA is able to do this is through the sharing of motions, writs, declarations, and demands. AMMA also advocates to preserve California Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.
