My Interests

Drug Policy Reform on the State and Local level.

I'd like to meet:

People looking to become active in changing these unjust laws. Also if you have been arrested for an Illinois cannabis offense, you are eligible for a one-year free membership to Illinois NORML. All you have to do is let us know you want to join – and send us your story if you want to. In return, for free, you receive the benefits of membership for one-year, such as newsletters and notice of members-only meetings. What Illinois NORML wants is for you to become active. Share your stories with us, tell us what happened – and then begin the process of changing the law.
