Do any of you actively work towards the legalization, lowering of penalties etc... of any drug? Have stories? Know of places/ways where one could help out (I'd like to join the fight:P).

Ok, so it obviously starts with pot. NORML is alright, except there are no ways to really help out except buying their merch. There rarely are any concrete websites except NORML afaik.

Totally, also do letters to the editor pointing out whatever you wish about recent drug busts, and as you will. ____________
I used to be an outspoken advocate of the psychedelics, but in my current years kinda roll with "be the change you want to see" - in my opinion the best way to change current drug laws and stigma(s) is through connecting with those around you and making sure everyone is fully aware.

Yeah, if every drug user was more outspoken about it, we'd have a massive army.

Thanks guys for posting those sites. I am also very interested in the legalisation of Psychadelics, particularly LSD and Mushrooms (obviously). And Nitrous is just plain great too. I'm trying to convert the world one person at a time. So far, I've converted 4 people. Wooo!

Yeah, but you have to watch out with that. They tend to label it as peer pressure and then you look like the bad guy.

Yeah, I'm very careful about it. I'm never like: "C'mon, just do it." or the classic "don't you wanna be cool?". If they're not comfortable with it, I don't push it. I just give the facts and provide them with the opportunity if they're interested. I'll admit that a good 75% of people aren't interested, which is fine.

Personally, I would HATE it if everyone did LSD. I wouldn't feel any special :P

There'll always be people who won't do it. It's just simply not for everybody. I'm not looking to have everybody do it, I just want people to be more accepting of those that do do it. Besides, you don't need LSD to feel special, lol... do you?
PDU,
I'm converting them to a view of open-mindedness. Basically, I'm changing their cultural and socially ingrained opinions of the cliche'd "drugs are bad" to something that isn't so black and white. If I can even convince somebody to be around me while I'm tripping without giving me a lecture straight from a high-school assembly, I'm doing well

No, but being pro-drug in an extremely catholic society is awesome.

lol, sweet. Today I went to this university orientation thing, and my friend and I were the only ones there smoking out of maybe 200 hundred people in our faculty (except for a hot blonde), I'll admit, made us feel that much cooler than everybody else, lol.

You want to make a difference? Start small and work big. Start going to your city counsil meetings....just to listen. Become a regular attendee so people know your face, that way when you DO start to voice your opinion you may be taken seriously.
After a few weeks start speaking up at the meetings. Just don't open your mouth unless you have written evidence to back up everything you are saying. If you want to be taken seriously the last thing you need to do is waist time.
While you are doing the city counsil thing, start collecting signatures. The great thing about America is there are things called voter initiatives. Sad thing is, most voters have no initiative. It the city counsil doesnt listen to what you have to say, get signatures of people that agree with you...the more the better obviously.
NEVER GET DISCOURAGED. Remember, there are people that hate drugs and they will hate you for campaigning for drugs...let the criticism go in one ear and out the other.
Lastly, everyone has the oppertunity to run for their own city counsil. Take the initiative and sign up to run. You dont have to win, but I guarantee if you start running on pro-drug platform and can articulate things in a good way, you will get some media coverage...and that is all you need.
Start small, the world isn't going to be changed in a way. We need to revolutionize from within. Our founding fathers set up our system the way it is for a reason, we just have lawmakers out there that have convinced us to be lazy (or some of us just are lazy by nature) and convinced us they know our best interests.
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
