NORML

In my last post I referred to the fight for Marijuana law reform as a "movement," to further elaborate on why it is worthy of being considered a movement I will dedicate this post to profile the national organization dedicated to lobbying the government to legalize pot. The organization is called the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or NORML for short.

The organization is complimented by the NORML Foundation, which was created in 1997 to educate the public on Marijuana policy through the use of Advertising and Media campaigns.

This was an add from a 2001 campaign

This organization has spent countless amounts of time and money to not only educate the public, but to also testify in front of congress and give their expert opinion on cost-effective and responsible Marijuana law reform. They have tracking systems to give up to date information on the legislative measures that concern Marijuana reform in 50 states, they include highlights of their finding in a periodic newsletter. In addition, they have a legal committee comprised of 350 criminal defense attorneys to oversee information disseminated by the organization.
