Norml's 37th Annual Conference 2008 in Berekley Marina

It's Not Your Parents' Prohibition ! its Yours !

The 2008 NORML Conference will be held Friday, October 17 through Sunday, October 19 at the Doubletree Hotel & Executive Meeting Center Berkeley Marina in Berkeley, CA. Please mark your calendar now and plan to join us for our annual political conference where we focus on the latest marijuana policy developments at both the state and federal levels, celebrate our victories over the last year, analyze our losses, and hear from an array of the leading NORML activists and cannabis law reform organizers from across the country.

NORML is excited and pleased to convene the organizationâ??s 37th annual conference in Berkeley, and additionally look forward to NORMLâ??s social events planned in Oakland. Transportation from the Doubletree Berkeley Marina to events in Oakland will be provided to NORMLâ??s guests.


Similar in format to last year's NORML conference in Los Angeles, the first two days are presented in typical plenary and breakout sessions. The conferenceâ??s last day is co-sponsored with the new Oaksterdam University and NORMLâ??s Legal Committee of criminal defense attorneys, and will feature a day of unique classroom-style learning not yet found in American academia! The Sunday-only session teaches participants the legal and business â??best practicesâ?? for medical cannabis dispensaries and patient co-operatives, along with extensive coursework on botanical, historical and business marketing information concerning cannabis.

Citizens who consume cannabis and/or favor law reform measures can attend the 'regular' conference sessions, Sunday-only session or both via a 'combo' registration.

We have negotiated extremely favorable room rates of $159 per night. Please make your room reservations early before the block of reduced rate rooms has been exhausted. NORML always sells out its allocated discount priced rooms-- reserve your room today!

To enjoy the full scope of NORMLâ??s 37th annual conference, you and your friends should plan to arrive in Berkeley no later than 3PM on Thursday, October 16 and plan to depart for home on Monday, October 20.
