This week we have a double entry from the other side of the world: Families
and Friends for Drug Law Reform is an Australian organization of parents
and others who have lost loved ones to drug abuse, or have seen friends
or family members with drug problems suffer needless additional harm and
degradation because of prohibition. Drug Aid is a site created by FFDLR
activist Patricia Assheton and her late son Guy Wayne Tremain, "dedicated
to promoting understanding and providing practical help NOW, while your
sons, daughters, sisters and brothers still live." Visit FFDLR and
Drug Aid at http://www.wps.com.au/druglawreform/
and http://www.wps.com.au/drugaid/.
