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

The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) is a nonprofit advocacy group dedicated to changing laws and public attitudes surrounding marijuana. Founded in 1970, NORML works to legalize and regulate marijuana use for adults, emphasizing its potential benefits and the importance of personal freedom. They provide information, lobby policymakers, and support research to promote responsible marijuana policy reform, aiming to reduce criminal penalties while ensuring safe access and responsible use. NORML's goal is to create a fair legal environment that recognizes marijuana as a legal and regulated substance rather than a criminal issue.
