It’s not only consumers’ 2nd Amendment rights that are under assault. Historically, governments have sought to deny cannabis consumers many other rights as well, including their right to use the medicine that works best for them, or to exercise their freedom to choose to relax with a substance that’s objectively safer than alcohol. And every step of the way, NORML has been there to fight back on their behalf.
Researchers reported that those with a history of cannabis use “demonstrated significantly better cognitive performance.” Cannabis use “was not associated with increased risk of dementia” and researchers found “no supporting evidence of a causal link with [longitudinal] cognitive decline in later life.”
“The government may not categorically disarm responsible adults solely because they use cannabis, absent any showing of habitual use and dangerousness. The Second Amendment protects individuals, not status-based classifications, and the historical tradition the Court requires does not support such a blanket prohibition.”
“As Chair of the NORML Board, I am honored—again—to reflect on what Black History Month means to this organization and to the broader cannabis legalization movement.”
For more than 50 years, NORML has been ‘setting the record straight’ on cannabis. Today, this job is more important than ever.
“Voters made their mandate clear in 2024, and now Nebraskans have been left vulnerable because their leaders refuse to respect it.”
“Cannabis re-legalization is a work in progress. But it’s here to stay and by and large, it’s a process we’re getting right.”
“These findings ought to reassure lawmakers that cannabis access can be legally regulated in a manner that is safe, effective, and that does not inadvertently impact young people’s habits.”
