film titled Paving the Way features one of the Californian medical marijuana dispensaries, the Harborside Medical Marijuana Health Center, opened by Stephen DeAngelo in 2006 in Oakland. It is a non-profit organization established by people who use marijuana for various health problems, including cancer, HIV, multiple sclerosis and chronic pain. Members of the Harborside collective of patients grow marijuana to supply their own medical needs. The Harborside recently employs 77 people, has 30,000 registered patients and brings in about $20 million (£12.4 million) annually in revenue. This film was published with Hungarian subtitles on the main page of the leading Hungarian online magazine Index.hu. The coordinator of the HCLU’s video advocacy program shot this film while being on a private trip to San Francisco before the Albuquerque conference.
