2026 NORML Key West Legal Seminar

November 12-14, 2026 • Key West, Florida

The NORML Key West Legal Seminar will be held November 12-14 at the The Reach Key West. This fully accredited legal seminar has become a wonderful opportunity to spend time in a relaxed setting with old friends, and to make new friends, who share your opposition to marijuana prohibition.

Resort Accommodations

Set on the only private natural sand beach in Key West, The Reach is an excellent base for water sports, including sailing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. Duval Street and the Southernmost Point are steps away, and The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is just a short walk.

Relax in stylish rooms and suites with a nautical theme, all with their own balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee and soak up the sun while enjoying beautiful views. Lounge by the oceanfront pool or feel the sand between your toes on the island’s only natural sand beach. Find a variety of outdoor activities and exciting watersports, including snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing.

The Reach’s signature restaurant, Four Marlins, is open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Expect fresh-caught fish, locally sourced ingredients, an impressive wine list, and thoughtfully crafted cocktails. The atmosphere is casually elegant with a friendly bar locals enjoy, and inside and outside dining designed to capture ocean views some say are the best in all the Florida Keys.

NORML arranges for a discounted block of rooms. Please reserve yours early to be sure you are able to take advantage of the discounted rate as the room block is limited and sells out quickly.
