Join almost 1,000 drug policy experts, politicians,

treatment and criminal justice professionals, activists,

and concerned citizens for a three-day gathering that

promises to be the most engaging, exciting, and informative

drug policy event ever assembled.

 

The Drug Policy Alliance's 2003 Biennial event is the

world's principal gathering of people who believe the war

on drugs is doing more harm than good. No better

opportunity exists to strategize and mobilize for reform.

The conference will be a comprehensive three-day crash

course on drug issues, connecting the dots between the RAVE

Act, international drug policies, new advances in drug

treatment, Canadian reforms, medical marijuana, and civil

liberties.

 

The conference will include over 50 sessions (with panels,

roundtables, and plenaries) and 10 activist training

sessions. Conference sessions currently on the agenda

include:

 

* Anti-Drug Task Forces: Focus on Texas

 

* Building a Movement in Communities of Color

 

* Cutting Edge Issues in Drug Policy Reform

 

* Discrimination Against People in Recovery

 

* Drug Testing in Schools
