For more than 30 years, NORML has worked with a network of citizen activists who share a common goal of ending marijuana prohibition and stopping the arrest of responsible smokers.

One of the most common, and frustrating questions asked of NORML is: "When are the marijuana laws going to change?!"

The answer is remarkably simple: When you and all your like-minded friends and family members are actively educating and lobbying your elected officials to end marijuana prohibition.

Compared with the concerns of their voting constituents, elected officials and government agencies care far less about NORML's 32-year effort to reform marijuana laws. After all, elected officials, and the government agency administrators they appoint, derive their power from the will and consent of the voters.

Therefore, voters, like you, need to 1.) Stop electing politicians who increase the scope of marijuana prohibition and penalties therein, and 2.) Start electing politicians who favor marijuana law reform.

For far, far too long marijuana smokers and marijuana law reformers have remained politically invisible to their elected officials.

This must immediately change.

If it is your strong desire that marijuana laws need to change, stop cursing the darkness and light a candle.  Even if you never make a much-needed financial donation to FAU NORML, you're still empowered with the ability to play a major role in ending marijuana prohibition.
