The Ohio NORML chapter of the ( National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) was established in 2001 as non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a better understanding of the current status of drug laws in Ohio and the United States, and civil libertarian arguments for a more reasonable treatment of marijuana in the laws. It is the opinion of this organization that the decision concerning the use of marijuana is an individual one and should not be dictated by law.
We encourage all of you that believe that marijuana should be legalized for Medical, Recreational or Industrial use to get involved by donating to the cause and becoming a member of OhioNorml. With your membership you will receive ongoing information on the benefits of Marijuana, updates on the progress being made to legalize marijuana and the opportunity to participate in rallies and fundraisers. You will also learn how to contact your representatives and how to get legal assistance if necessary.
Our meetings are held the first Wednesday of every month. For more information, you can call us at Just a NORML Shop, located in downtown Lodi, Ohio, (330) 948-WEED. There are also members-only gatherings at Crazy River Ranch from time to time.
