NORML regrets the passing of Prof. Mark A. R. Kleiman, an academic expert on cannabis policy who often shared and debated his well informed views on marijuana policy reform with those of us who were committed to advocating for a policy of adult use legalization.

NORML respectfully notes the passing of former Congressman and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums on July 30th. An outspoken opponent of the Vietnam War, Dellums was also a pioneering opponent of the war on marijuana, being one of the first House members to serve on NORML’s advisory board in the 1970s, along with NY Senator Jacob Javits.
Cal NORML has sent comments to state regulators at the CA Department of Food and Agriculture regarding their emergency licensing regulations for cannabis cultivation.
