Once a year, at the beginning of June, we gather in the incomparable Aspen, Colorado for the NORML Aspen Legal Seminar. Genius drug lawyers, the best of the best, gather to “cross pollinate” as famous lawyer Gerry Goldstein calls it. Presenters over 3 days share their individual expertise, raising the knowledge base for all of us. The NLC has always been a leader in sharing our combined knowledge. We share a real dedication to our mission. This is exemplified by the legal seminar. Aspen has always welcomed us with open arms, great lodgings, wonderful food, and with a chance to visit with our friends from across the globe.

2024 NORML Aspen Legal Seminar

I confess that originally I was “shy” about putting my name out there as a member of the NLC. Then, one day, I took a look at the membership list of the NLC. I saw that our membership included many of the finest drug defense attorneys in the world! When I saw the list I immediately realized that I would be honored to be part of this group. I signed up as a life member that same day. That was about 20 years ago. Basic NORML membership open to all is a way that all of us can support this ongoing mission. JOIN NORML LINK!
       NORML Membership

Whether or not you choose to imbibe cannabis in any form, as an adult, OR if you do not imbibe but agree that legalization for adults is the only intelligent reasonable option for the continuing end to marijuana prohibition, please consider joining NORML as one of the easiest most effective actions you can take. It matters!
