Help us end the 21st century prohibition! Join NORML today!
I am now NORML’s National Chapter Outreach Coordinator. In that capacity, I receive the emails from people all across the country looking to join NORML. We currently have 64 chapters and 47 campus chapters in 38 states, and 8 international chapters.
I want a NORML chapter in all fifty states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. I want double the number of chapters. So I really need your help.
Just this last two weeks, I have received emails from budding activists (pun intended) looking to start NORML Chapters in Colorado, North Carolina, Alaska, Alabama, Florida (Miami), Missouri, Virginia, Idaho, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Mississippi, Vermont, Texas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Kansas, as well as four new college chapter inquiries and inquiries from Australia, Japan, Guam, and Mexico (Cuidad Juarez).
I work to put the people in the same state in touch with each other because the hardest thing about forming a NORML Chapter isn’t finding the guy or gal to lead, it’s finding the other four people to form your board.
So Stashers, if you’re in one of the above-named states or countries and you’d like to get on board with a new local chapter, send me an email to stash@norml.org with the subject “Join a Chapter” and I’ll hook you up.

Election Year Medicaid Medicare Inducement issues left open for November not openly discussed.Politics have gone from heated to man on fire thoughts. Also the Judicial dilemmas, since all are offically allowed to bear arms again, the big city Mayors are concerned about how the poor will be able to rearm themselves, and are looking for some type of financial relief from Federal State Medicaid programs to maintain their status quo.The higher courts face tough issues this term since making honest fraud legal, there agenda now turns toward making honest kickbacks and honest bribes equally as legal. This topic remains high as a shared issue by the medicaid medicare enrollment providers since they are looking to expand inducements past the complicated pregnancy stage. No more coupons for free fried chickens now it will be free bags of medical use stuff only,sign here.
The DOJ has serious concerns that if legalized marijuana in California for medical reasons could be used as a inducement or inticement to help secure new enrollments for the Federal State Medicare Medicaid programs.The State of California is concerned that if the Feds step up their effort in killing off the marijuana crops it could cause higher tax problems that effect Medicaid currently under consideration by the State ‘marijuana tax control board’. Limo drivers cancel their planned Medicaid Cuts DC rally and leave for California to protect this years crop. Wow, don’t think I would like to be in Politics for this years elections.
Govenor Schwarzenegger indicated that if the Tea Partys membership keeps holding their rallies at our Marijuana burning fields they will have to be taxed for their free use of inhalants, prior to having them bused back to Arizona. Senator Mccain wants the deportation of illegal Mexicans to stop immediatley claims their State needs Pot growers and insists California return his illegal landscapers at once. This could lead to Pot Wars since California insists that have the best wine and the best weed and the better growers brought in directly from Mexico.(not Arizona)
I live in Florida and there is a zero tolerance law here,So if your caught with 1 seed or a bud less than a 1/3 gram ,they make you go to rehab and do drug tests for up to six months.which can cost into the thousands.It also goes on your record a possesion of and uncontrolled substance.HELP,HELP,HELP.
Any chapters in AL? O.o
I am a MD in NYS, i have patients that have gone to other contries to recieve te benefits of marijuana for post traumatic stress, terminal pain, fibromyalgia, cancer and other illnesses without any adverse effects which could be better controlled and managed with a ,doctor prescibing and following up with his patients. now my clients are using these synthetic drugs like spike, which offers a increse in the binding power of thc and had direct effects on the hypothalmus which could in fact be life threatenenig, but these are legal. This makes no sense, we are setting up a new culture of home made drugs that are then sprayed with toxic properties not overseen by the fda which leads up to much more danger for our children and society. Get these drugs off the market. any drug that is synethically made and says on the label not used for human cunsumption but spoked in head shops in obviously dangerous.
please law enforcement look at the dangers that are already out there and what we as physicians could assist with by legalizing a drug that actualy has medicinal principles and can be regulateed.

I would be honored to be a part of a NORML Chapter here on Guam…I’ll shoot you an e-mail A.S.A.P.!!!!
What ab a TN chapter in nashville? I know TN is working on two bills for medical marijuana but why waste the time and tax payers dollars when its more profitable to sell it people 18 and up. I hope you can give me any info. Thanks for what you guys do for us.
Im not a smoker but i do see the need to make pot legal becouse I realize its not a true problem having known many people who do smoke are very good and well educated people even more so then myself,and recently my younger brother who was busted with an half an ounce of what he called crappy weed is paying 5000 dollars fine and constantly being harrassed they are ruining his life when before he had a great job and no problems.the problems arose from the police causing it i dont understand why its illegal?and it also helps him with his add which when perscribed meds from the doc. has very bad reaction.pot has no side effects.what is wrong with our system its completly backwards and everyone is brainwashed into believing these lies about marijuana its got to change,and police need to start busting real criminals doing things like meth,coke,etc.

Are There Any Chapters In NY?
Sorry for the above, I can’t seem to create paragraph breaks on this PC. The above referenced site address in my post is reguarding today’s story about Mexico’s two past Presidents,Brazil and Colombia’s past Presidents and Mexico’s current President announcing they are now in favor of legalizing Marijuana to aleviate the current corruption and slaughter of many reguarding drug trafficing. BTW-I read your page sponsors book “Marijuana Revisited” in 1970. I had found it to be very interesting as a 17 year old. I was quite amazed to see any mention of it this many years later. Another amusing footnote: I read it while I was in jail for …..possession of marijuana-LOL!
RE:CNN.com/World http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/05/13/tennessee.exonerated/index.html?eref=rss_topstories dated today-13May2009—I Wholeheartedly agree it’s WELL past time. The ony ones benefiting from the current illegality of Marijuana are drug dealers,cartels,and corrupt government establishments. For many years now I have believed it’s illegality stems not from our leaders desire to contain it’s usage, but so that ‘the few’ and ‘the connected’ in conjunction with politicians can maximize profits from its sale and distribution. Keeping it illegal certainly limits the competition and the raises the prices astronomically. It’s been a gold mine for some. If marijuana is legalized it will end the corruption factor involving law enforcement and government officials. Look for those enriched individuals along with the liquor and brewery industry to vehemently object to its legalization using everything from morals,patriotism,christianity, and fear. Hey, kind of like the Bush administration used to get their way for eight years. The drug cartels have really cut their own throats this time with their unending wholesale slaughter of thousands which is now extending well into our own borders and no end in sight. Although they don’t get a public say this issue, look for those that do their bidding for them. True there will be many drawbacks in legalizing it, but compared with the level of violence and corruption that criminality has wrought, legalization will be a breath of fresh air. I can’t help but think we will look back and say,”Why didn’t we do this sooner?” While I seldom if ever “partake” anymore, on the rare occasion I do-it’s ridiculous to have to risk arrest and jail or getting robbed just to obtain some for medical side effects. I’m in!
Just bought a house near St George Utah (Inside the Zion curtain)not living there now but would support a group in the area until I move. We need a Norml chapter in this state. I am currently a member of Orange county Norml in calif. contact me at johndog76 @sbc global. net
please need help in Idaho to start a chapter. I live in Idaho Falls. we have a really hard time even talking about cannabis let alone the truth.
I believe that is our god given right to smoke marijuanna if we would choose to I am here in Elk City Oklahoma, Beckham County the very same county that I received two distribution charges and one conspiracy it cost me a substantial amount of money plus i still have another four years of supervised probation left to go I feel I have a very good reason to join NORML
Got an email from the Philippines! Philippines NORML! Wouldn’t that be cool?
