About this Item

Title

  • National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML)

Summary

  • "The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML /ˈnɔːrmÉ™l/) is an American non-profit organization based in Washington, DC whose aim is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the legalization of non-medical marijuana in the United States so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty. According to their website, 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,' and 'supports the development of a legally controlled market for cannabis.' NORML and the NORML Foundation support both those fighting prosecution under marijuana laws and those working to legalize marijuana. Similar affiliated organizations operate under the NORML banner in other countries, among them NORML New Zealand, NORML Ireland, NORML Canada, NORML UK and NORML France - Hemp & Freedom. In the 2006 United States midterm elections, NORML promoted several successful local initiatives that declared marijuana enforcement to be the lowest priority for local law enforcement. NORML claims that this frees up police resources to combat violent and serious crime." -- Summary retrieved on October 7, 2019 http://dbpedia.org/resource/National_Organization_for_the_Reform_of_Marijuana_Laws
