Welcome to the official site of NORML of Georgia, Inc. one of three recognized affiliate NORML chapters in Georgia.  What does NORML mean? the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

Fighting marijuana prohibition in Georgia has been difficult and slow. Many dedicated activists have been trying to change the laws here for a long time with little to show for it. With the backing of NORML, we will have greater success. NORML has contributed to the successful passage of medicinal marijuana laws in 13 states, with more coming. It is a world class lobbying and educational organization. Times are changing, most of the country is sympathetic to our cause, and I am excited about the prospect of changing the laws in Georgia for the better.

Our ONLY issue is marijuana decriminalization. Our members come from all political, religious, and cultural backgrounds. Libertarians, Liberals, Hippies and Hip-Hop - all are working together peacefully within our group to achieve the one important goal of making it safe to possess and use small amounts of marijuana for personal use.

Like most of you, I dream of a day when responsible adults will be free to legally purchase safe, high-quality marijuana and use it responsibly. The first step toward the dream of legalization is decriminalization. Therefore, our immediate legislative goals are as follows:

1. Expanding the existing medical marijuana law in Georgia to include access for AIDS patients, and others who have had cannabis-based medicine recommended by their doctor.
2. Requiring proof of possession of greater than three ounces to support a felony charge of “possession with intent to distribute” marijuana.
3. Making misdemeanor marijuana possession a non-arrest-able, non-jailable offense.
4. Making it illegal to arbitrarily discriminate against medical marijuana patients in employment, housing, reviewing health insurance claims.

PLEASE join NORML of Georgia right now. Not only will you be helping yourself, but so many other peaceful, patriotic citizens in our state who just want to use marijuana for medical reasons, spiritual reasons or just for fun.

I bow in respect to the human spirit in you and me that makes seemingly impossible things happen. Yes, we can-nabis!
