Drug Policy Forum of
Wisconsin
Welcome to the Drug
Policy Forum of Wisconsin Home Page, and home of the DPFWI discussion list.
Founded November 1998, the Drug
Policy Forum of Wisconsin is a virtual organization consisting of a diverse group of
activists from all over Wisconsin who understand that the so-called "war on
drugs" is a failure and that it is time to adopt a more humane approach to drug
policies. While the emphasis of DPFWI is on cannabis, particularly of the medicinal
variety, all areas of drug policy reform are represented.
The DPFWI mailing
list provides a place for Wisconsin activists to discuss developments and strategies
regarding drug policy reform in the Badger state and beyond, including the
medical marijuana bill that is expected to be introduced in late 2003. The website is also intended
to be a resource for those interested in furthering drug policy reform in
Wisconsin. Check
out the Activist Calendar for upcoming events in Wisconsin and vicinity. Visit the News
page for links to articles about recent developments in Wisconsin. And be sure to visit
the Medicinal Cannabis pages, chronicling the drive to enact legislation to protect state
patients who benefit from this therapy.
