We love the Norml organization. What more can we say? Anyone that has dedicated their existence to the legalization of marijuana for adult consumption is number one in the eyes of the “We smoke marijuana” community. It wasn’t long ago that I first heard of the Norml organization, but I was glad I did. If you have not heard of them before, they are a nonprofit organization with this mission below as taken from their website Norml.org.
NORML MISSION STATEMENT
NORML’s mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty.
NORML FIGHT FOR THREE RIGHTS
1) Cannabis for personal use – Responsible adults should have the right to recreational use to cannabis, week, pot, what ever you want to call it. We are adults making decisions that effect our life. So long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, we are within our right to personal marijuana use.
2) Cannabis for Medical Use - The benefits and positives for medical use are becoming more and more amazing. You can get NORML’s view of the Medical Necessity Defense here. The wonderful thing is their level of detail for the argument and the court cases that are sited. They are serious about the legalization of marijuana and their organization is committed to making it happen.
3) Hemp for Industrial Use - It is amazing how many things can be made from hemp for industrial use. Everything from hemp building materials, rope, concrete, and more can be produced from renewal sources. The hemp actually grows out of the ground and have many use for the people and society. But our narrow mindedness is keeping us from maximizing our opportunities for the greater good.
