Take action for reform
Georgia’s program, and nearly every reform on our world timeline, exists because people organized for it. These are the independent organizations doing that work, and the simplest ways to add your voice.

The two-minute action
Write your representatives
NORML’s free Action Center pairs you with your own federal and state officials and gives you a pre-written, editable message on pending cannabis bills. It takes about two minutes, and it is the single most direct thing most people can do.

Why we point you here
This site is educational and non-partisan, but it is not neutral about people. The reform that gave Georgia patients a legal option, and the research that finally got to study the plant honestly, happened because organizers, attorneys, and patients pushed for decades. If our history and our who-uses pages moved you, these are the people carrying it forward.
