New England Marijuana Anonymous
Marijuana Anonymous World Services
MAWS is our shorthand reference for Marijuana Anonymous World Services, which serves
the society of Marijuana Anonymous (the members, Districts & overall organization).
MAWS, as the bottom of the “inverted pyramid” of service, serves those marijuana addicts who
need to know where a meeting is, or how to start one themselves, how to bring a panel to a
hospital or institution, how to create a new District or send representatives to the World Service
Conference. MAWS spreads the word about MA to the general public, professionals and the
media, and helps groups and Districts who wish to perform outreach of their own.
MAWS, through its Trustees, committees and MA members (all volunteers) writes and approves
all of the “Conference Approved” literature you see on tables at meetings (or online) – from
these pamphlets to the book Life With Hope (LWH), as well as the Life With Hope Step
Workbook and CDs. The “New Leaf Publications” arm of MAWS publishes those materials, as
well as our monthly newsletter – A New Leaf. MAWS provides pamphlets and an audio version
of LWH available online at no charge to the addict who needs them. MAWS, a non-profit,
501(c)(3) corporation, does most of the background work necessary to keep the society of
Marijuana Anonymous functioning smoothly.
Marijuana Anonymous has over 400 meetings every week, both in person and online.
