About me:
   
 The war on drugs has failed to eliminate drug use, and has done serious damage to Americans' constitutional rights. The drug war is unfair to students who are denied access to honest, accurate information about drugs; unfair to families who are torn apart by extremely harsh prison sentences; unfair to minorities who are subjected to disproportionate arrests, convictions and sentences for drug possession; and unfair to every American whose rights are trampled in the name of stamping out drug use.
DPA Network works for better alternatives. We believe that instead of focusing on misinformation, scare tactics and locking people up, drug policies should be based on science, and focus on effective education, public health, and treatment. To learn more or to read the DPA Network blog, visit the DPA Network website at drugpolicy.org.

Who I'd like to meet:
 People who believe the war on drugs does more harm than good. People who believe in compassion for seriously ill individuals who could be helped by medical marijuana. People who think DARE is useless and that we need an alternative drug education program based on science, not scaremongering. People who realize that treatment is a more effective way to deal with someone who has a drug addiction than prison. People who believe marijuana should be legal.
Also, people who want to learn more about why the war on drugs doesn't work and what we could do instead.

Nearly 1,200 people from around the world came together in New Orleans last week for the biennial International Drug Policy Reform Conference. Couldn't make it? Blog posts, media coverage, and audio and video recordings on the DPA Network website bring the conference to life.
