About MA

Marijuana Anonymous holds free, anonymous meetings across the UK for anyone who wants to stop using cannabis, whether smoked, vaped, or eaten. It does not matter how much or how often you use, and you do not have to have stopped before you come.

A meeting usually lasts about an hour. Someone chairs it, members share from their own experience, and you will never be made to speak. Most people just listen at first. Whatever is said in the room stays in the room.

MA meetings in the UK run in person and online. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using marijuana.

Common questions

Are MA meetings free?

Yes. All Marijuana Anonymous (MA) meetings are free to attend. There are no membership fees, no waiting lists, and no referrals required. Some groups pass a basket for voluntary contributions toward room hire costs, but this is entirely optional.

Do I have to speak at my first meeting?

No. You can come and listen without saying anything. Nobody will call on you, and most people find it easier to sit quietly and take things in at first. If you want to say your name you can, but there is no expectation.

Do I have to have stopped using marijuana before I come?

No. You do not need to have stopped before your first meeting. Many people attend while still in the middle of the problem. The only requirement is a desire to stop.

Is MA religious?

The programme references a higher power, which each member defines for themselves. Many members are not religious, and atheists and agnostics are common in the rooms. The spiritual aspect is about seeking help outside of yourself, not about any particular religion.

What happens at MA meetings?

Someone chairs the meeting, reads a short opening, and members share from their own experience. You will not be called on or expected to take part. Meetings usually last about an hour.
