NORML is nothing more than a phone bank of criminal defense attorneys who benefit off of cannabis prohibitions, who lobby for over-regulation of the safest therapeutic substance known to man and who sell T-Shirts and hats and throw expensive to attend ‘gatherings’. The money they make does not go to assisting those unjustly charged with cannabis crimes or lawsuits to fight for people’s rights in order to prevent arrests to begin with.

In the mean time, NORML could have been helping collect signatures for an actual legalization measure, like so many others have been doing around the state for 9 months now. NORML has been publicly criticizing this proposal with baseless claims, instead of helping it to pass, and NORML is the only one doing this. We aren’t hearing such criticisms from the general public, so yeah, I’d say NORML is the biggest obstacle we have to true legalization here in Missouri.

NORML and ShowMeCannabis are not fighting to end prohibition, they are fighting to keep it. Cannabis is GOING to be rescheduled (the federal government can’t keep up their racket much longer, there is too much evidence of its usefulness, as they hold the patent.) The only question is HOW will it be done. NORML and ShowMeCannabis are not fighting to end prohibition, they are backing proposals to Constitutionally protect Big Government and the elite, at the expense of we-the-people.

If you actually care to end cannabis prohibition, you will support the Missouri Cannabis Restoration and Protection Act. If you want to continue prohibition, you’ll support NORML and ShowMe.

Don’t you think that maybe police, prosecutors and prison guard unions are biggest obstacles to MO legalizing cannabis rather than America’s oldest and largest pro-reform organization? How about the governor? Or Attorney General?

Why lie about a group like NORML?

Folks who care about ending cannabis prohibition should join and support non-profit groups like the chapters of NORML in MO and ShowMeCannabis.
