Comments: Good to see, While we need the valuable work and changes bought about by the Gov. funded users organizations,they ate limited by funding restrictions. Only with the use of direct action can the real social changes be achieved, Keep up the good work guys, there are too many people who can`t or won`t stand up and be publicly and vocaly opposed to the injustices forced on us by an ignorent and self-serving line of Polititions and public moral`s police. Acting in our own best interest of course

Comments: the conference looks brilliant, particularly from the perspective of a user activist in the united states.
i agree that the "war on drugs" is quite often only a pretext for a war on people of colour, civil liberties, and dissent. however, there is an ideological component of the war on drugs that has everything to do with drug use itself: the prohibition of pleasure, and the concomitant loss of control over one's body. in the calvinist U.S., at least, the issue of pleasure is an integral part of the war on drugs, and one that is always ignored by anti drug war policy wonks. it is incumbent on user activists, then, to explicitly fight for the pleasurable aspects of drug use (we're not simply "self-medicating") and reclaim control over our bodies.
