Working To Reform Indiana's Marijuana Laws

To Educate Hoosiers About Cannabis Rights

Indiana NORML Through The Decades

Indiana NORML has spent decades telling the truth about Cannabis/Hemp/Marijuana. For many of those years, we met with great resistance from both Prohibitionists and the organizations that support them, like the Indiana Prosecuting Attorney's Council (IPAC). But we persisted. We took every opportunity to speak to Hoosiers about the benefits of Cannabis. We have countered generations-old lies about Cannabis. Contrary to what the prohibitionists want us all to believe that there is no research into Cannabis, there are volumes of scientific evidence to back our claims. This year, we finally made a break through. Every poll, even casual ones, show massive support for relegalization.



What is INORML About?

Indiana NORML supports the right of adults to use marijuana responsibly, whether for medical or personal purposes. All penalties, both civil and criminal, should be eliminated for responsible use. Further, to eliminate the crime, corruption and violence associated with any "black market," a legally regulated market should be established where consumers could buy marijuana in a safe and secure environment. Indiana NORML also supports the legalization of hemp (non-psychoactive marijuana) for industrial use.

Cannabis Is Not A Gateway Drug

The gateway theory argues that because heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine users often used marijuana before graduating to harder drugs, it must be a "gateway" to harder drug use. The theory implies that there is a causal mechanism that biologically sensitizes drug users, making them more willing to try—and more desirous of—harder drugs.

Yet the gateway hypothesis doesn't make sense to those who use marijuana or have used in the past. Research shows that the vast majority of marijuana users do not go on to use hard drugs. Most stop using after entering the adult social world of family and work.

Cannabis Has Been Used As Medicine For Millennia

Cannabis is used recreationally for its euphoriant effects. But it also has the potential for effective therapeutic use. With mounting evidence for its medicinal benefits, there have been increasing calls for its decriminalisation and legalisation.

Used for centuries across various ancient cultures both medicinally and recreationally, cannabis has its roots in Central and South East Asia from as early as the third millennium BCE.

Cannabis pollen was found on the mummy of Ramesses II, who died in 1213 BC. Prescriptions for cannabis in Ancient Egypt included treatment for the eyes (glaucoma), inflammation, as well as administering enemas.
