Wow, this is amazing news. When I became active back in October 2009 there was only one meeting choice to go to if you wanted to be NORML. There are always many ways to support marijuana reform and make a difference in your community, but I wanted to find out more about the organization NORML and how I could help them. So I set out for Madison to see what all the buzz was about. Multiple ways to help, active marijuana legislation and a network of people working hard of the issue on behalf of us in Wisconsin is what I found, so I joined them.
Multiple events, passed medical marijuana referendums and stagnant legislation over the past two years has lead to a marijuana movement in Wisconsin which continues to grow! The week of September 12th looks to offer some choices for marijuana activists with FIVE different NORML chapters holding meetings throughout the state.
1) September 12th 7:00-9:00pm Madison NORML meeting. Location: Wil Mar Center Youth Room in basement 7-9pm, Wil Mar Center 953 Jenifer St. Madison, WI 53703.

Under this ordinance, citizens are protected when possessing up to a certain amount of cannabis at any given time within the county limits. Milton has one for up to 28 grams of medical marijuana for personal use. Madison allows up to 112 grams. Does your city have a medical marijuana ordinance? If you don’t know, you can check by contacting your local city clerk and asking if there is one. Otherwise, you can ask them how to get that done in your area. Anyone can do it!
Here’s how the ordinance for Madison reads:
Just a heads up that Madison’s own Great Midwest Marijuana Harvest Festival is coming soon! Mark your calendars and get prepared for the 41st Annual event set to take place in lovely downtown Madison, WI. (at the Library Mall) starting Sept. 30th and running thru Oct. 2nd.
