MA Service

MA Service Structure

Marijuana Anonymous service is structured in an inverted pyramid featuring three levels of service similar to that of Alcoholics Anonymous. The three levels of service include the meeting/group, which occupies the broad base at the top of the pyramid. The middle level represents service at the district level. The tip of the pyramid consists of Marijuana Anonymous World Services.

General Service Representatives (GSR’s), delegates, trustees, and committee members at all levels of service are the trusted servants of our fellowship. They do not govern and have no authority. Each individual serves at the direction of the fellowships membership, with only a loving God as the ultimate authority. It is vital to the unity of MA that information and service effort flow smoothly between the three levels of the service structure.

 New members are encouraged to get involved in service at the group level, Once you have established your foundation at the group level, we encourage you to branch to the next level of service at the district level, than at the Marijuana Anonymous World Services level. Ways you can get involved at the local group level include.

• Bring a friend to a meeting
• Set-up and break down the meeting

• Welcome newcomers, give them your phone number
