The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) is a non-profit advocacy group that works to legalize marijuana and advocate for the rights of marijuana users. Founded in 1970, NORML has been at the forefront of the movement to reform marijuana laws in the United States.
NORML is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and has over 100 chapters across the country. The organization works to educate the public and policymakers on the benefits of marijuana legalization, including medical and economic benefits. NORML also provides legal assistance to those who have been arrested for marijuana-related offenses.
The organization’s website, norml.org, is a valuable resource for those seeking information on marijuana laws and policy. The site features a state-by-state guide to marijuana laws, information on medical marijuana, and news and updates on marijuana policy reform efforts.
NORML is also known for its annual conferences and events, which bring together activists, advocates, and policymakers to discuss the latest developments in marijuana policy reform. The organization’s mission is to end marijuana prohibition and create a legal and regulated marijuana market that is safe, accessible, and beneficial to society as a whole.
