For well over a decade, DrugSense has developed a number of projects
and services that have become a foundation for drug policy reform.
From DrugNews, the archive that serves as both a
drug policy research tool as well as an "early warning system" for
activists and reformers, to
Drug Policy Central's web-based services
which enable reform organizations of every size and budget get their
progressive message out,
DrugSense operates behind the scenes to keep the reform community and
the public engaged in our collective mission: ending this failed and
expensive War on Drugs.
Here are just a few of the activities your generous contributions help
support:

drug policy topics.

of articles to benefit researchers, reporters, historians, and others

respond to these articles with Letters-to-the-Editor and OpEds, which
counter inaccuracies and fallacies.
- Issue regular Focus Alerts to notify
letter writers about particularly egregious or important articles.
- Count more than 26,000 drug policy focused LTEs published in newspapers
worldwide since our inception, representing more than $27 million of

the week, replete with commentary, and distribute it to 20,000+
