"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -- attributed to Margaret Mead
'Taking Action' is the two-word description of what is so urgently needed to bring about substantive marijuana law reform measures.
Many people contact NORML asking,
"What can I do
to help change marijuana laws?"
NORML is only as strong as the support given by concerned
citizens. Learn about the many different ways you can help
NORML end marijuana prohibition.
There are three primary ways
for you, and all your like-minded friends and family, to 'Take Action' to help end
marijuana prohibition:

Occasionally we will ask for specific actions by
Nevadans. We are compiling a database of information to
help us help patients. We need people who are willing to do research on the
internet about politicians. If you can spare some of your extra time helping us
gather this information you'll be helping us get help to patients even faster in
Nevada. 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
