When NORML was founded in 1970, only 12% of Americans supported legalizing marijuana. After decades of hard work by thousands of committed activists around the country, we have won the hearts and minds of a majority of the public. Today, sixty-five percent of adults nationwide support ending marijuana prohibition and establishing a regulated market where responsible consumers can legally purchase marijuana. But there’s still plenty of work to do. That’s why we’re heading to Capitol Hill in September.
You’ll join NORML members from around the country for a three-day event to learn effective lobbying strategies, hear the latest scientific and political advancements, and meet with Congressional offices to advocate for the end of marijuana prohibition. Get your tickets today!
If you can’t join us in DC, please consider agenerous donation to help make our Lobby Day the most successful one yet! NORML is proud to fight for the rights of everyday Americans, not big business. We’re representing you on Capitol Hill, and together we’ll Legalize America.
Did you know there are even more ways to activate with NORML, and in your hometown? First, if you haven’t yet, become a 2019 member of NORML. As a member you’ll be the driving force behind meaningful marijuana law reform efforts on the local, state and federal levels. Regardless of the policy you’re advocating for (e.g., adult-use, patient access, decriminalization etc.) you’ll find an extensive collection of recent studies and fact-based information that will reinforce your position in NORML’s Online Library.
Second, get involved with a NORML chapter in your community. With a network of more than 160 affiliate chapters, NORML offers plenty of opportunities to join the fight to end marijuana prohibition. As an active member of a NORML chapter, you’ll engage in educational outreach, lobby local and state lawmakers, and work within your community to bring awareness to the failings of marijuana prohibition. If there isn’t a NORML chapter in your community, we can work together to organize a new network of NORML activists to support your efforts. Click here to find the NORML chapter nearest you.

Third, use NORML’s Action Center to contact your members of Congress in support of marijuana law reform efforts. At any given time NORML is monitoring dozens of bills around the country so we’re able to provide our network with legislative updates and relevant Fact Sheets.
Thanks so much for your continued support!
