What's wrong with NORML? I thought they just liked weed.

They're rent seeking, stagnating stooges, who in my opinion have done far more harm than good. Like from existing in place of anyone of substance. Like propping up "Women's NORML". Think about it.. what does NORMAL mean? Let's try in terms of distribution:
Normal, NORML> _/_
Abnormal/Skewed/Women's NORML> |_
So it's self defeating and counter productive then, isn't it. What are they really?
They also support Trudeau, whose perfectly backwards, poisonous and nonsensical understanding of 'legalization' was bolstered by Women's NORML, because those cunts thought they had administrative positions in it, or something. So they sold us all the fuck out just like NORML does erryday.
They continue propping up the stooge by saying shit like his insanely backwards and FUCKING DANGEROUS stances are not at all indicative that he's a heinous, maniacal stooge hellbent on our destruction. 'He's just fending off the mythical opposition to legalization.. you know, the people he works for, by giving them everything they want, at the cost of everything you need. He's just doing it for you.. even tho we just won a fucking federal election on the basis of it, supposedly, we should fold to appease those unsung heroes and their unreported crimes, for those boogeymen lurk just around corner from the preserved status quo the lawyers of NORML wouldn't' be in business without. NORML is a scam. With 'chapters' and membership fees..complete with T-shirts using borrowed/copywrite themes. I'd drive a fucking steamroller right over them if I could.
That whole 'industry' is a heap of incestuous garbage, no exception.
EDIT: My ASCII distribution graphs didn't work so well but I think you'll all get the point.

Fair enough. I support the legalization of marijuana, but if NORML is that fucked up, they can go eat a dick.

There are tons of organizations like that that are past their expiration date. Just offhand, the SPLC, NAACP, ADL, and a lot of other organizations that pretend to support a demographic they hold in contempt. NOW is an exception since they're a hate group that functions like a political organization.
