About Montana NORML
What is NORML?
NORML stands for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
From the
National NORML site:
Since its founding in 1970, NORML has
been the principal national advocate for
legalizing marijuana. During the 1970s,
NORML led the successful efforts to
decriminalize minor marijuana offenses
in 11 states and significantly lower
penalties in all others. Though the
decriminalization movement eventually
fell victim to the "war on drugs," NORML
has remained the nation's principal
organization dedicated to ending
marijuana prohibition.
Today NORML serves as an
informational resource to the national
media on marijuana-related stories;
lobbies state and federal legislators to
permit the medical use of marijuana and
to reject recent attempts to treat minor
marijuana offenses more harshly; and
serves as the umbrella group for a
national network of citizen activists
committed to ending marijuana
prohibition.

Montana NORML
Montana NORML believes that criminal prosecution of otherwise law-abiding
marijuana users is wasteful, misguided, and unjust. We believe that responsible
adults should have the right to cultivate, possess, and consume marijuana at their
discretion, while following some common-sense guidelines (adapted from
NORML's
Principles of Responsible Use).
- Only legal adults should have access to marijuana.
- While under the influence of marijuana, users should not drive,
operate heavy machinery, or perform other
tasks which could result in harm to others if performed in a careless
manner.
- Marijuana users should respect the rights of others, and not
cultivate or consume marijuana in locations or situations in which
others may find it offensive, distasteful, or inappropriate.
