Cannabis in the Garden State
This podcast is a general overview of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, also known as NORML. In this segment, I will be including information from their database regarding New Jersey such as arrest info, state cannabis laws, and pending bills for 2020.
This non profit’s mission is a noble one. NORML’s mission is to move the public perception of all variations of the cannabis plant sufficiently enough to legalize it federally across the United States. They have thousands of chapters across the country dedicated to representing the interests of all cannabis consumers through lobbying efforts, campaign donations, citizen activists, and many other means.
NORML was founded in 1970 and has been growing in size alongside nationwide movement for cannabis legalization. Their efforts have been at the forefront of cannabis reform and policy. NORML’s policies, provided by their board of directors, represent the interests of all cannabis consumers across America. One of their main goals is to ensure safe, affordable access for all adults. My blog, Cannathusiast, is dedicated to this very same mission and I have even considered becoming a member of the Garden State NORML chapter myself. I want to make a difference in my local areas and help ensure medical patients and cannabis consumers have job security, affordable medicine, and no legal implications for its use.
When I was brainstorming for my blog, I was in no way inspired by this non profit. I actually only recently became aware of their legalization efforts; however our goals inadvertently fall directly in line with each-other. I am a strong advocate for the legalization of cannabis and if you are too, visit NORML.org to learn more about what they have to offer. You can join a local chapter near you or contact your lawmakers about pending bills for 2020 in your state. Take a stand and let your voice be heard!
