This section is to help you locate the information you need to become fully informed regarding medical marijuana -- as well as play an important role in changing America’s misguided marijuana laws.

Unfortunately, NORML/NORML Foundation does not have listings for marijuana friendly or sympathetic physicians. Also, NORML/NORML Foundation does not have information on where medical marijuana can be purchased.

The law is where you live. Get active at the local and state level and soon thereafter -- national marijuana law reform will follow.

The information listed below should serve as a good beginning point for you and all your like-minded friends and family to get actively involved in marijuana law reform.

Of course, NORML is only as strong as its supporters make it. Please donate generously to NORML/NORML Foundation’s longstanding marijuana law reform efforts.

Thanks in advance for all your support.

Regards,
The team at NORML
