Pubdate: Sun, 23 Mar 2003 Source: Letters to MAP (The Media Awareness Project of DrugSense) Author: Jonathan Weidler Dear friends - I am writing to express my deep gratitude for the work that the Media Awareness Project does on behalf of all who are concerned about the war on drugs. The information you collect for us is invaluably helpful, and ensures that at least some people will be equipped to see through the lies and ideological distortions perpetrated by states held captive to a logic of prohibition. If I did not have your diligence as an ally in this struggle for political clarity, I would be adrift in opinion and misinformation. I have little money, but I have a voice and a mind. I thank you immensely for helping me use my resources more accurately and responsibly. It is all too easy to lapse into complacency, to accept the inevitability of state prohibition and punishment on the bodies and lives of drug users. With your services, concerned citizens can better resist the temptation to abandon democracy to the heap of irrelevant social myth. Sincerely, Jonathan Weidler Oak Park, IL
