The National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) is an American non-profit organization based in the District of Columbia. Its mission is to lobby the United States Congress to remove federal laws prohibiting medical marijuana and the legalization (production and consumption) of marijuana.[1] The organization was founded in late 2010 and has been described as the "first national trade group for the cannabis industry" in the United States.[2][3][4]
