The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is an effective, credible organization with a website full of useful knowledge. Quoting from their mission statement, “DPA is the nation's leading organization working to end the war on drugs. We envision new drug policies based on science, compassion, health and human rights and a just society in which the fears, prejudices and punitive prohibitions of today are no more."


DrugScience.org is an educational website by former NORML (see below) president Jon Gettman. Quoting from the website, “The purpose of DrugScience.org is to provide an on-line home for the Cannabis Rescheduling Petition and related materials, such as the Bulletin of Cannabis Reform. In a broad sense the purpose of both the Cannabis Rescheduling Petition and the Bulletin is to increase informed participation in the public policy process by advocates of marijuana law reform.”


Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana ran a very successful campaign in 2003-2004 to get presidential candidates on record about whether or not they would stop federal raids on state-licensed marijuana clinics. They have already begun approaching candidates in 2007, and will publish their results on their website.


Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (L.E.A.P.) is a rapidly growing organization of current and former law enforcement officers who are speaking out against the failed policies of Drug Prohibition. L.E.A.P. speakers are located across the United States, and in New Hampshire we’ve found that nobody makes the case against prohibition more convincingly than a repentant drug warrior.


The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) is the largest marijuana policy reform organization in the U.S. Quoting from its website: “MPP believes that the greatest harm associated with marijuana is prison. To this end, MPP focuses on removing criminal penalties for marijuana use, with a particular emphasis on making marijuana medically available to seriously ill people who have the approval of their doctors.”


The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) has been fighting the good fight against Marijuana Prohibition since 1970. Today thousands of listeners enjoy NORML’s Daily Audiostash, a podcast which is focused on “ending Marijuana Prohibition, one listener at a time.”

New Hampshire Presidential Watch keeps accurate, up-to-date information on the candidates' activity in New Hampshire. We can always find out when and where candidates will be appearing in our state, and be prepared to meet them.

Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) is “an international grassroots network of students who are concerned about the impact drug abuse has on our communities, but who also know that the War on Drugs is failing our generation and our society.” We have at least one strong chapter of SSDP in New Hampshire, but we’d sure like to see one at every New Hampshire college and university!


Vote Hemp has had great success representing a truly innocent victim of the War on Drugs – the industrial hemp farming movement. The U.S. is the world’s largest importer of hemp, but our farmers are not permitted to grow it. As the website tells us, “Vote Hemp is working to shift federal regulation of industrial hemp back to the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and out of the hands of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).”
