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.

 

Arnold Trebach

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.
