For meeting times and details: Check the Meetings/Events page to see when the next meeting or event is! If you want to get involved, but don’t want to draw attention to yourself, you do have the option to donate or volunteer quietly in the background in order to protect your privacy, and you may even attend meetings on an anonymous basis if you wish to. Northern Wisconsin NORML‘s mission is to educate and move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition, so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty. Northern Wisconsin NORML hopes to have a wide reach. We have a unique style, and are organizing to provide support to our growing member base.
