July 31, 2020 John,
We did it! (Again!)
Today, for the second time in history, the House of Representatives approved legislative language restricting the Department of Justice from interfering with the tens of millions of consumers and businesses operating in legal marijuana states.
The importance of the 254 to 163 bipartisan vote on the Blumenauer-McClintock-Norton-Lee amendment cannot be overstated. Nearly one in four Americans now reside in a jurisdiction where the adult use of cannabis is legal under state statute, and several other states will be deciding this issue in November.
This action by the Congress highlights the growing power of our movement and the work of NORML leaders and activists all around the country.

Never in modern history has there existed greater public support for ending the nation's nearly century-long failed experiment with marijuana prohibition. It is our time to make our voices heard in the halls of Congress.
Now, we must shift our focus to the Senate and ensure that they do not move to strip out these hard-fought protections (again).
Contribute now to get your 2020 NORML membership card and support our ongoing work to cure those Senators still suffering from Reefer Madness.
Together, we’ll end marijuana prohibition from sea to shining sea. Together, we will legalize America.
Onward to more victories,
NORML
