N.O.R.M.L. Starts Chapter in Kentucky

(7-23-01)

The national organization for reform of marijuana laws (N.O.R.M.L.) now has a new chapter in Kentucky. The chapter is currently conducting a membership drive in Louisville. Volunteers and members  are needed to help in lobbying efforts to change laws that continue to persecute otherwise law abiding citizens.

Norml does not encourage drug use. We are only concerned with changing laws that serve no purpose, other than to incarcerate thousands of Kentuckians each year, while doing very little to educate and rehabilitate problem users.

N.O.R.M.L  has been successful in legalizing medical marijuana in 8 states and is currently making  progress in many more. California recently has changed its focus from incarceration to treatment concerning drug use, and it's time we did the same. Another issue Norml addresses is industrial hemp. This should be of great concern to  Kentucky residents since hemp used to be Kentucky's #1 cash crop. With failing tobacco farms threatening to be swallowed up by urban development, now is the time for us to make a stand!

Currently the U.S. Libertarian Party is considering making opposition to the drug war a signature issue. Please show your support to the Libertarian Party as well as Norml by getting involved today. Norml needs dedicated individuals who are comfortable contacting elected officials, writing letters to news organizations, and helping inform the general public of the false information the government continues to disseminate concerning their war on drugs.
