Political Organization - Phoenix, Arizona, United States
The Arizona chapter of NORML was founded in 1990 by Bill Greene. The chapter was involved in several legalization efforts through the 90s including the Prop 200 campaign of 1996 and the successful challenge of the Arizona Marijuana Tax Stamp law. Notable leaders of the era included Greene, Peter Wilson, Chuck Hadd, Stan Wirick, and Will Van Arsdale. Later, under the leadership of Kathy (Tea) Inman Arizona NORML played a key role in the 2010 AMMA ballot measure which created Arizona's medical marijuana program.Since 2015 Arizona NORML has played a significant role in shaping cannabis law at the state legislative level and helped draft and campaign for 2016's Prop 205 initiative. We hold educational presentations and distribute cannabis information to the general public around the state. We organize and connect local activist groups in rural areas, and create projects with volunteer activists in the PHX metro area. We are lead organizers of the annual SWCC Cannabis Conference and Expo in addition to staffing info booths at cannabis events statewide. In addition, AZ-NORML connects Arizona to the national NORML office.We also help organize court support in PHX metro and host a 24-7 hotline for "cannabis emergencies."
