MARIJUANA LAW REFORM PART 1 N.O.R.M.L.

What is NORML and what does the organization stand for?
NORML is a nonprofit, public-interest lobby that for more than 30 years has provided a voice for those Americans who oppose marijuana prohibition. We represent the interests of the tens of millions of Americans who smoke marijuana responsibly and believe the recreational and medicinal use of marijuana should no longer be a crime.

NORML supports the removal of all criminal penalties for the private possession and responsible use of marijuana by adults, including the cultivation for personal use, and the casual nonprofit transfers of small amounts. This model, similar to that recommended to Congress by President Nixon's esteemed Shafer Commission in 1972, is called "decriminalization."

NORML additionally supports the development of a legally controlled market for marijuana, where consumers could purchase it from a safe, legal and regulated source. This model is referred to as "legalization."

NORML believes that marijuana smoking is not for kids and should only be used responsibly by adults. As with alcohol consumption, it must never be an excuse for misconduct or other bad behavior. Driving or operating heavy equipment while impaired from marijuana should be prohibited.

NORML strongly supports the right of patients to use marijuana as a medicine when their physician recommends it to relieve pain and suffering. NORML has advocated for the legal use of medicinal marijuana since 1972.

Lastly, NORML supports the right of farmers to commercially cultivate the non-psychoactive strain of cannabis known as hemp for industrial purposes, such as food and fiber production.


What does NORML do?
NORML lobbies Congress and state legislatures for more rational and cost- effective marijuana policies. We provide expert witnesses for legislative hearings in support of marijuana reform legislation and to provide testimony to assist defendants charged with marijuana offenses. NORML also serves as a marijuana-law reform advocate with the media nationwide, publishes a periodic newsletter, and maintains a comprehensive web site, which includes a 50-state legislative tracking system, where visitors can inform themselves about the issue and send a free fax or an e-mail to their state and federal elected officials. In addition, we maintain a legal committee comprised of 350 criminal defense attorneys nationwide who specialize in the defense of individuals charged with marijuana-related offenses.

Because NORML lobbies state and federal elected officials, contributions to the organization are not tax deductible.

The UN single convention on Narcotic Drugs 1960 amended in 1972 . The addition of Cannabis seem to very similar to the US version and what I believe has Pres. Nixon's finger prints all over it. this is where I think the DEA and other agency get legitimacy

[PHILxMIKExNICK]

Wow, thats fucking evil, putting someone in prison for doing what there doctor, and the police told them was okay

[mtmanteag]

want it legal. find a petition and sign it. there are a bunch out there. change.org is the one i have the most faith in. make your own choice

[Sanchez40065]

If you want to invest in the future, put your money on Cannabis Science, Inc. (CBIS.OB) and Medical Marijuana, Inc. (MJNA.PK). These are two stocks that are bound to jump once the law allows it. And its inevitable that it will happen.

As a fellow Libertarian, I definitely see that it is wrong for the inflated federal government to come in and override state law. I am a huge fan of this show and NORML.
