NORML SA is the South African branch of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, a cannabis legalisation campaign organisation. NORML SA was founded in 2008. Their mission statement is "NORML supports the right of adults to use cannabis responsibly, whether for medical or personal purposes. All penalties, both civil and criminal, should be eliminated for responsible use, possession and cultivation." Similar affiliated organizations operate under the NORML banner in other countries such as NORML France, NORML UK, New Zealand. NORML has been involved with a number of cannabis awareness events to promote the use of cannabis in South Africa for responsible adult use. NORML members helped establish the Global Cannabis March as an annual cannabis culture event that has become a popular activism rally in South Africa each year. “This weekend saw the birth of the first Cape Canna Fest, an initiative started by NORML South Africa to “unify the South African Cannabis culture and give us all a voice.” The day started off with the Global Marijuana March” EWN
