grown into a national network of more than 6,000 activists
and concerned citizens including parents, educators,
students, lawyers, health care professionals, academics,
and others working for drug policy reform from a variety
of perspectives, including harm reduction, reform of
sentencing and forfeiture laws, medicalization of currently
schedule I drugs, and promotion of an open debate on
drug prohibition.
Marijuana
Policy Project (US) The Marijuana Policy Project
(MPP) understands that no one policy will solve all
problems. Each potentially harmful effect of marijuana
consumption and the myriad public and private marijuana
control efforts must be thoroughly evaluated. Each policy
option should be judged according to whether the overall
harm is reduced or increased. Furthermore, public policies
must be grounded in the reality that marijuana consumption
is already widespread despite the present prohibition
laws.
NORML
(National Organisation for the Reform of the Marijuana
Laws) US website 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.

seen the proof that Congress, the Cabinet, the major
media and even the White House have come here for a
reality check when they can't separate themselves from
their own spin
