If you've been reading Drug
War Chronicle for awhile, or have otherwise followed drug policy reform
over the decades, then you likely know the name "Arnold Trebach" -- founder
of the modern drug policy reform movement and good friend and partner to
DRCNet -- and you may have heard of his classic expose, "The Great Drug
War: And Rational Proposals to Turn the Tide," re-released in print earlier
this year.

As Drug War Chronicle writer/editor
Phil Smith concluded in our review
of the Great Drug War published earlier this month, "'The Great Drug
War' remains invaluable reading, not just for historical perspective --
which is fascinating and depressing enough -- but for its keen analysis
of the dynamics of prohibition that are still at work and, in some cases,
more entrenched than they were two decades ago."
Because we feel that "The
Great Drug War" offers an important recounting of the genesis of many of
today's drug war outrages, we have decided to offer it as our new membership
premium -- donate $35 to DRCNet to help us continue our work educating
the public and lobbying Congress and state legislatures, and we will send
you a complimentary copy of "The Great Drug War." Click
here to donate online. Additionally, in order to encourage you to support
DRCNet at a higher level, Dr. Trebach has agreed to personally autograph
copies for anyone who donates at least $60.
We can also accept donations
by check or money order. Send them to: DRCNet, P.O. Box 18402, Washington,
DC 20036. (Note that contributions to Drug Reform Coordination Network,
which support our lobbying work, are not tax-deductible. Deductible
contributions can be made to DRCNet Foundation, same address.) Lastly,
please contact us for instructions if you wish to make a donation of stock.
