War on Drugs - caption|frame|Operation Mallorca, U.S.

Demand reduction - Demand reduction is a term used by drug control authorities to refer to educational and other efforts aimed at stopping people from seeking drugs, as opposed to cutting off their supply. Problems with the war on drugs have arisen over the years of prohibition, and moral panics in particular have lead many to believe that illicit drugs must stay illicit in order to keep the streets, children and future safe.

Network Against Prohibition - ... is the name given to the drug law reform/human rights activist group that began on March 7, 2002, in Darwin, Australia in response to the Northern Territory Labor Government's drug house legislation. NAP members aim to end the prohibition of drugs, and specifically, to end the War on Drugs and the human rights abuses faced by people who ingest illicit drugs.

November Coalition - The November Coalition is a non-profit grassroots organization, was founded in 1997, fighting against War on Drugs and for the rights of the prisoners incarcerated as the effect of that war. It publishes a bulletin called Razor Wire.

Un Largo Camino: Memorias de un Nino Soldado = A Long Way Gone : In A Long Way Gone, Beah, now twenty-five years old, tells a riveting story: how at the age of twelve, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. This is how wars are fought now: by children, hopped-up on drugs and wielding AK-47s. Children have become soldiers of choice. In the more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide, it is estimated that there are some 300,000 child-soldiers. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them. What is war like through the eyes of a child soldier? How does one become a killer? How does one stop? Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But until now, there has not been a first-person account from someone who came through this hell and survived.
