Minnesota NORML is the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) affiliate for the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of 2017, Michael Ford served as the organization's executive director. [1] [2] [3]
Tim Davis served as Minnesota NORML's director in the 1980s and 1990s. [4]
In 2014, Randy Quast was executive director of the Minnesota chapter of NORML. In 2016, Quast was appointed interim director of national NORML, replacing outgoing director Allen St. Pierre. [5] [6]
In 2015, Marcus Harcus served as Minnesota NORML's executive director. [7]
And they say prohibition is futile, anyway, just as it was with alcohol. "They (the government) think they're cracking down, but all they're doing is driving the price up," said Davis, the 32-year-old president of NORML's Minnesota chapter. Back in the 1960s, when many of today's marijuana advocates began smoking the plant, an ounce of marijuana cost between $15 and $30. The price is anywhere between $100 and $200 now, depending on availability and quality, yet about 23 million Americans continue to use it, according to U.S. government statistics.
