The Marijuana Policy Project, a marijuana advocacy group, will honor Rep. Sam Farr, D-Carmel, May 4 in Washington, D.C.

Farr has led efforts in Congress to protect medical marijuana patients from federal prosecution, including supporting the 2003 States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act.

Television talk show host Montel Williams also will be honored at the event. Williams, who uses marijuana to treat symptoms of multiple sclerosis, visited Capitol Hill and the New York Legislature to advocate for medical marijuana patients who appeared on his show.

A second gala May 9 will recognize actor and comedian Tommy Chong.
