The month of May saw advocates and industry leaders in the cannabis space fly into Washington, D.C. as NORML and NCIA held their annual lobby days. NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and NCIA, the National Cannabis Industry Association approached lawmakers with different asks, but the same message. LEGALIZE IT.
