Welcome to "THE HUMAN SOLUTION", a coalition of concerned citizens working together to provide education and awareness, remove unnecessary stigmas and provide support for group members.
We are a non-profit grass-roots organization. Our members are a diverse coalition of concerned citizens, united in our common goals of supporting medical marijuana defendants, patients, providers, and the community at large.
We attend court hearings, speak publicly at city council and town hall meetings, give classes to educate the public and remove the stigma of medical marijuana, and hold fundraising events with help with defendants’ legal expenses and assist patients in need.
The Human Solution provides education and support to medical cannabis patients, providers, and the community at large. -THS Mission Statement Show your support for The Human Solution by wearing our signature green Solidarity Ribbon. Not only will you show support for medical cannabis patients and defendants everywhere, the ribbons make great conversation starters. And the first step to effecting positive change is a conversation.
Made with Love and Aggression
The Human Solution was founded in early 2009, by a small group of concerned advocates who made and wore the first Solidarity Ribbons to show support for medical marijuana defendants being prosecuted in blatant disregard of the fact that they were Prop 215 compliant. The Human Solution believes nobody should EVER go to jail over a plant and that patients and providers should to be free to choose to use or grow cannabis without fearing prosecution, or the seizure of property.
Hand made by patients with “love and aggression,” the ribbons show solidarity with prisoners of the drug war. We understand the human toll the policy of prosecuting legal medical marijuana providers takes on defendants, their families, and ultimately, the community itself.
The majority of legitimate medical marijuana providers being prosecuted do not have an abundance of resources or cash, and often lack support both in and out of court. Many are chronically ill themselves or are caring for ill family members. The ordeal of going through a lengthy legal battles also causes hardships in their personal life, including loss of employment, evictions, and problems with child protective services, all a direct result of the stigma of being labeled and targeted as a "drug dealer" by law enforcement and prosecutors who believe "there is no such thing as medical marijuana.”
For the cannabis movement, this is both an exciting and frustrating time. We are closer than ever to unleashing and developing the miraculous medicinal properties of this plant. Recent studies show marijuana has the power to shrink cancer tumors, keep glaucoma at bay, relieve pain, fight MRSA resistant bacteria, act as a neuro protectant, and even, it is hinted, grow brain cells.
Yet we keep hearing the same old tired lies and excuses to keep it illegal and the needed research continues to be blocked. Far too many are still facing prosecution for daring to grow, use, or provide it.
So for now, we wear the ribbons. Proudly, defiantly, and in Solidarity!

1.) Dress as conservatively as possible. Be sure to wear clean neat clothing. If possible dress in business attire. Avoid t-shirts with vulgarities, bare midriffs or otherwise revealing clothing. Ribbons are permitted.
2.) Be polite and respectful when dealing with court personnel. Pay attention to their instructions and comply with their requests immediately. Avoid any outward negative reactions to their instructions as some take this as a sign of disrespect.
3.) Electronic Devices. Turn off pagers and cell phone ringers. Very important, please be sure. Recording devices or computers are also not permitted for spectators.
4.) Property Search. Court Security Officers and Court Staff are authorized to open and inspect any item carried into a courtroom.
5.) Leave cameras outside. Photography is not allowed in the courthouse (unless you are a member of the media who has prearranged permission). Cameras have been confiscated from those not following the rules.
6.) Do not interact with members of the Jury. No contact is allowed. No gestures or other communications. No discussion about the case should happen even in hallways, restroom, or other public areas where members of the Jury could be present.
7.) Do not bring your medicine to court. You won’t be able to use it there, so leave it behind.
8.) No Prohibited items in the Courtroom and adjacent lobby area. Do not bring weapons, alcohol or illegal substances. Don’t put yourself and the group at risk. Do not bring food or drinks.
9.) Do not come to court intoxicated. No person under the influence of intoxicating drugs or beverages will be permitted in the courtroom or adjacent areas.
10.) Do not talk while court is in session. Even quiet whispering is enough to get you ejected from the courtroom. Inappropriate facial gestures or exaggerated gesticulating is forbidden. When Court is in session, no one should be heard except for the council and the judge.
11.) Do not read in court. Only materials related to the Court’s business can be read in the courtroom while court is in session.
12.) Be seated. Standing in the courtroom may be permitted only at the discretion of the Clerk. Individual chairs against the side walls of the spectator area are reserved for law clerks and court staff. Doorways and passageways should be kept clear at all times. Repeated entrances and exits are to be avoided.
13.) When to stand. Everyone in the courtroom, unless physically challenged, must rise when judges enter and remain standing until the presiding judge invites everyone to be seated. Similarly, when court adjourns, everyone stands in place until the judges are no longer visible.
14.) Check the schedules posted on the court bulletin boards for the changes in times or room assignments.
It is important to keep in mind that not all courts have the same rules, or the same levels of enforcing those rules. But if you follow the above guidelines you can minimize the risk of “offending the court” or becoming the target of hostile court personnel, and at the same time, we are sending a powerful message of our own. “We are here. We are not going away. Medical Cannabis is legal and no one should go to jail for a plant.”
