Legalization
Legalization
Colorado NORML and NORML supports the adoption of a legally controlled market for marijuana, where consumers can buy marijuana for personal use from a safe legal source. This policy, generally known as legalization, exists on various levels in a handful of European countries like The Netherlands, Switzerland, Uruguay, and Canada.
This also was adopted by voter initiative in Washington (I-502), Colorado (A-64), Oregon (Measure 91), Alaska (Ballot Measure 2), and Washington, DC (Initiative 71), California, Nevada.
Full legalization bills were introduced in a number of states and voter initiatives appeared on the ballot in 2014 and again in 2016 and 2018. NORML will be working with proponents to support these proposals, and we will continue to push Congress to amend federal law to permit states to experiment with different models of marijuana legalization without interference from the federal government.
