About 200 Marijuana plants grown from strains of Indica and Sativa are tended by volunteers from WAMM members on the one acre farm by on the WAMM farm three days a week September 9, 2010 in the Santa Cruz mountains, Calif.
The different strain have different medicinal properties.
A dozen miles north of Santa Cruz, next to graves of AIDS and cancer patients who cultivated pot to their dying days, is a birthplace for the modern California marijuana movement. Opened in 1993, the Wo/ Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana grew and shared marijuana among a collective of medicinal pot users, including scores of people with terminal illnesses. Their stories helped convince California voters to pass the state's medical marijuana law in 1996. Heavily-armed DEA agents raided the farm in 2002, prompting the city and county of Santa Cruz to successfully sue the federal government. Today, WAMM survives with some 200 patients who continue growing marijuana and parceling it out based on medical needs and ability to pay. With wheelchair ramps leading to its gardens and painted stones for those who have perished, the WAMM collective offers a stark contrast to today's medical marijuana industry - now burgeoning with "collectives" of thousands of members and millions of dollars in transactions. With California now contemplating legalizing recreational pot use, WAMM members say they changed history in unfathomed ways.
