Drug Policy Alliance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Drug Policy Alliance is a New York City-based non-profit organization with the principal goal of ending the American "War on Drugs". Its publicly-stated goals include nationwide availability of medicinal marijuana, the creation of drug-related public health measures, ending abuses of asset forfeiture, repealing non-violent drug sentences, repealing laws that deny public benefits to people convicted of drug crimes, and the advancement of drug education programs by redirecting most government drug control resources from criminal justice and interdiction to public health and education. The Drug Policy Alliance's executive director is Ethan Nadelmann. The Drug Policy Alliance was formed when the Drug Policy Foundation and the Lindesmith Center merged in 2000.
