The event marked the launch of PEACE BY PAX, PAX's new impact platform that supports social reform, safe access, and sustainability. The Dennis Peron and Brownie Mary Act (SB-34) permitted the tax-free donation of cannabis to low-income patients. Steven Jung, PAX's COO and a former Captain in the United States Army, emphasizes the need for patients to have access to safe, regulated, and affordable cannabis. This is one of the core pillars of PEACE BY PAX. PAX partnered with compassionate community leaders across the Bay Area to make this event a success for patients who depend on cannabis for medicinal purposes.
