MPP, which was founded in January 1995, is the largest organization in the U.S. that`s focused solely on ending marijuana prohibition. MPP`s mission is to change federal law to allow states to determine their own marijuana policies without federal interference, as well as to regulate marijuana like alcohol in all 50 states, D.C., and the five territories. MPP has been responsible for changing most major state-level marijuana policy reforms since 2000. MPP is actually composed of three separate organizations — MPP, founded in 1995, is the main branch that deals with lobbying and ballot initiatives; MPP Foundation, founded in 1996, is the tax-deductible educational branch; and MPP PAC, founded in 2003, is a branch that donates to congressional candidates. In addition, MPP has state committees in the states where MPP is running ballot initiatives; these state committees are formed and closed every few years. MPP typically has approximately 40 employees, two-thirds of whom are based in MPP`s headquarters in Washington, D.C.; this includes a full-time lobbyist on Capitol Hill. In addition, MPP has lobbyists on retainer in a number of states capitals around the country
Cumberland Heights’ 170 acre campus is located along the banks of the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee. Surrounded by wooded hills and free of the distractions of city life, it provides the ideal setting for recovery. Forty years ago, chemical dependency was widely believed to be a moral weakness. This belief created a social stigma that prevented millions from reaching out for help. Today we understand that addiction is not caused by moral weakness or a lack of personal character – it is a medical disease over which the addict has no control. As with other diseases, without help the outcome is often tragic. Fortunately, there is help. Since we opened our doors 40 years ago, Cumberland Heights has touched the lives of more than 200,000 individuals in recovery – and over 10,000 last year alone. Four decades of experience has taught us that recovery is not only possible, it’s a path that no one has to walk alone. Our staff is committed to providing the highest quality care possible. Our treatment programs encompass the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of recovery through professional excellence, the principles of the Twelve Steps, and a safe, loving environment.
