Yeah sorry I take that back we can not allow the link due to their links section. I did not notice it before. None the less google works wonders.

fair enough boys - sorry to hear this but I can understand - truth be told I'm an SLFer myself, just trying to spread the word - I know a few other members of this group, and trust me when I say, they only have shrooms best interest at heart - just like this place - I was speaking with one of the administrators the other day, and the linking is purely a optimisation stratergy, to increase market share in the sea of other sites out there, not to demean the overall core essence of the message - they seriously don't condone breaking the law, and that's why they're focussing on working within it, to try and change the law from the inside out. Anyway, I hope you won't hold this against me or the SLF - we only seek to live in better world where our freedoms aren't eroded at will by people in suits who truly miss the point. Thanks for all your understanding.

One of the big points of contact the state are trying to negotiate into is the personal health and body. Once we accept that their role includes slow harm-reduction and health enhancement then we are really for the high jump, probably literally after compulsory morning tai chi classes.

this is a really interesting perspective - I like you guys man.

The latest publication by the relatively new Roosevelt Institution, a student organized and run think tank, has a drug policy article.

I think collaboration between SSDP and R. Institution chapters at universities could be beneficial, with the institution helping to get out policy pieces on drugs from a non-affiliated source. That way drug policy advocates could get their views out more efficiently.
