About NORML New Zealand Inc.

The National Organisation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML New Zealand Inc.) works to end cannabis prohibition in New Zealand, and bring about progressive drug policies.

Our mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to legalise the responsible use of cannabis by adults, and to serve as an advocate for consumers to assure they have access to high quality cannabis that is safe, convenient and affordable.

NORML’s aims are to:

  • reform our marijuana laws
  • provide information about cannabis
  • engage in political action appropriate to our aims
  • inform people of their rights
  • give advice and support to the victims of prohibition

NORML New Zealand (Inc) is a non-profit membership-based incorporated society that was formed in New Zealand in 1979 (Incorporated 1980).

PROMOTER STATEMENT: Authorised by NORML New Zealand Inc, 253 Karangahape Road Auckland.
