DrugWarRant is a website created by activist Peter Guither that specifically advocate the termination of War on Drugs in United States. It has a Bulletin Board System, a blog, and other functions, including a comprehensive guide to the Supreme Court case ''Gonzales v. Raich'', a case dealing with medical marijuana and states' rights. The site caused controversy when, in 2004, Illinois Congressman Jerry Weller used the site's endorsement of his opponent Tari Renner in order to accuse him of supporting drug legalization.〔 (Junket mail spoofs Crane trips ) Chicago Tribune 〕 Renner denounced Weller's vicious negative campaign, and the site also gave a disclaimer.〔 (Jerry Weller. Liar and slanderer ) DrugWarrant〕 In 2006, when the Drug Enforcement Administration tried to assert a connection between illegal drugs and terrorism, the blog rebuked the Agency, saying the War on Drugs was actually causing worse crime and terrorism.〔 (Drug-Terror Connection Disputed ) Washington Post 〕 Notably, the site features a list of "drug war victims", commemorating people who it says have died because of the excess of drug prohibition.〔 (Drug War Victims ) DrugWarrant 〕 The founder of DrugWarRant, Peter Guither, is currently an assistant to the dean of College of Fine Arts at Illinois State University.〔 (Profile of Peter Guither ) Illinois State University 〕 ==See also== *Drug Policy Alliance *Marijuana Policy Project *National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws *November Coalition *Students for Sensible Drug Policy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「DrugWarRant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
