This Pride Month, Queer in Cannabis invites you to a very special, one-night-only screening of Join the Club, an unreleased documentary celebrating the life and legacy of Dennis Peron—the revolutionary queer cannabis activist who helped legalize medical marijuana during the AIDS crisis.

“Join the Club” is more than a film. It’s a love letter to queer courage. A time capsule of activism. A spark for the future

 

From the underground Cannabis Buyers’ Club in San Francisco to co-authoring Prop 215, Peron’s fight for compassion and care changed the course of cannabis policy forever.
And yet, his story remains largely untold.
Until now.

WHEN: Friday, June 20, 2025 – Doors at 6:30 PM
WHERE: West Newton Cinema, Newton, MA
🎟️ Tickets: Free – Reserve your seat here

Presented by Queer in Cannabis and AUM Films, this rare screening uplifts the queer roots of cannabis activism while supporting present-day community health. All donations will benefit the Multicultural AIDS Coalition of Roxbury, who remain on the front lines of HIV/AIDS advocacy in Massachusetts.

Whether you’re a longtime advocate or new to the movement, this is a chance to gather, reflect, and build forward—together.

🌈 Let’s honor our history, uplift our community, and celebrate Pride with purpose.

Seats are limited—RSVP now.
