A group  called THE DRUG POLICY FOUNDATION  took a full page ad
on the back of the "Week in  Review" section of the NY Times 
today.  After pointing out many of the arguments that  have
been on the net already (don't worry, I won't repeat  them)
they  state  their purpose as
	The  Drug Policy Foundation is a non-profit organization
 	that promotes  open debate  on drug policy and provides
	information on alternatives.  Though some of  its  members
	support  legalization, the Foundation  takes no position
	on  that  issue.
	  The focus of  the Foundation's  work - in conferences,
	publications and television productions - is public  education.
	With your financial support,  the Foundation  can expand its
	public education campaign.
This is the first I'd heard of the group.  They list their board of
directors which includes many college presidents, chiefs  of police,
public health officials, lawyers, and professors (including Carl Sagan).

Thought  I'd pass that along  (without permission of course)

" 'Remember how the acid was? Remember the windowpane, down in
  Laguna that time?  God, I knew then, I knew...'
   They had a look. 'Uh-huh, me too. That you were never going to
  die. Ha! No wonder the State panicked. How are they supposed to
  control a population that knows it'll never die?' "
