I am more vocal about the failed war on drugs.

I suggest anyone seriously opposed & wanting to do more, attend the International Drug Policy Reform Conference. I'm poor, but applied for a scholarship, saved for over a year & went. Of course, you can watch all of break-out sessions on video.
The next one is in Denver Oct 2013 & scholarship info hasn't been announced yet.

It is SO worth it.
