Dear Friend of Drug Policy Reform,

Leading and longtime German reformer Georg Wurth explains how our newsletter, Drug War Chronicle, has been important to his work:

For more than 25 years, Drug War Chronicle has been my most important source for US and international drug policy news. Through Deutscher Hanfverband, Germany's leading cannabis (marijuana) reform organization, the Chronicle has also had a significant influence on cannabis (marijuana) decrim efforts in our country.

Thanks to the Chronicle, we've always known what was going on in the US – how long things took, problems that came up, other details. And we share important information from the Chronicle with our own substantial audience. For example, I regularly report news I get from the Chronicle in my weekly YouTube News, and list the Chronicle in my sources.

There is nothing else like it. I would miss the Drug War Chronicle very much if it stopped. There is no other source like it, so far as I know.

We are pleased to have partially brought back the Chronicle, but still need your help to bring our longtime writer Phillip Smith and the newsletter back to full time. During these last few days of 2025, please make a generous donation for our newsletter -- and our work in cannabis reform, global drug policy, international human rights and an informed drug policy discussion in 2026. Thanks for your help at this very critical time.

- Dave
