(Bauhaus/ Love & Rockets) To DJ On Thursday, June 4, the Marijuana Policy Project will take over the famed Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles for its fourth annual gala hosted by actress Fairuza Balk (Humbolt County, Return to Oz, American History X, The Craft, The Waterboy), with a live performance by The Dandy Warhols, along with DJ set by HunnyPot Radio and DJ David J. (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets).
Additional attractions include a live firedance performance from Red Swan Fire, magic from illusionist Kevin Viner, an open bar, art auctions, and more.
The annual star-studded event at the Playboy Mansion is an exciting, high-profile opportunity for the nation's largest marijuana policy reform organization to raise much-needed funds to continue its groundbreaking work.
This year’s event will celebrate the Marijuana Policy Project’s recent victories and honor marijuana policy reform advocate Todd McCormick with a Lifetime Dedication to Marijuana Policy Reform Award and Assemblyman Tom Ammiano from the 13th assembly district of California with a Legislative Leadership Award.
For the past three years, tickets for this wildly successful event have quickly sold out – a handful for this year’s can still be purchased at www.mpp.org/pb2009 .
The Marijuana Policy Project is the largest marijuana policy reform organization in the United States, boasting over 27,000 duespaying members and over 100,000 email subscribers. The ever-growing MPP Advisory Board includes Jack Black, Bill Maher, Joycelyn Elders, Jesse Ventura, and Adam Carolla, among others. For more than 14 years, MPP has worked to bring about real change to the U.S.’s failed marijuana laws, which cost taxpayers up to $40 billion a year in law enforcement costs and lost tax revenues, while effectively subsidizing murderous Mexican drug cartels by handing the marijuana market to criminal gangs.
The Marijuana Policy Project has been instrumental in passing medical marijuana laws in California, Rhode Island, Vermont, Hawaii, Montana, and Michigan and is currently lobbying to enact new medical marijuana laws in New Hampshire, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York. MPP led the successful ballot initiative campaign last November that decriminalized possession of up to an ounce of marijuana in Massachusetts, winning with an overwhelming 65% of the vote (outpolling Barack Obama by three pointes in the state). MPP believes marijuana should be regulated and taxed in a manner similar to alcoholic beverages.
