NORML France (/ˈnɔːrməl/, theNational Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws), previously known asChanvre & Libertés - NORML France (Hemp & Freedom - NORML France) is a Frenchnon-profit organization based inToulouse but active in all territories of France, whose aim is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve thedepenalization of illicit drugs consumption, thelegalization of non-medical marijuana and theincreased access to medical cannabis in France, so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty.
The organization operated a re-foundation in 2013, after the fusion of several regional groups of cannabis policy reform advocacy or activism (among which the older was created 1995).
Initially involved on international drug policy reform issues, NORML France split in 2016 part of its activity to focus on national cannabis-related actions, letting the newly createdFAAAT think & do tank handle international advocacy and coordinate collective action at the international level.[1]
