  1. Beyond the War on Drugs
    Overcoming a Failed Public Policy
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1990
    Beyond the War on Drugs argues persuasively for a fundamental reassessment of drug control policy. The thrust of the book is simply that the 'war on drugs' cannot be won by trying to dry up the source, since there will always be demand to create supply.
  2. The Candy Machine
    How Cocaine Took Over the World
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 2009
    Feiling is interested in the hows and whys of the trade. Everything cocaine touches turns to lead. How it came to this is the question he explores in this extensively researched, passionately argued book.
  3. Convicts, Collateral Damage, and the "War on Drugs"
    The Real Crime is the War Itself
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
    Two recent court cases in southern California provide insight into the identity of those smuggle drugs across the international boundary between the two countries. But more importantly what they do is highlight how the ludicrous “war on drugs” produces casualties of many sorts.
  4. Drug War Winners and Losers
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2015
    A review of Dawn Paley's book "Drug War Capitalism."
  5. The Drugs Myth
    Why the Drug Wars Must Stop
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1992
    Coleman presents medical evidence that the most dangerous and life-threatening drugs are legal, while the banned drugs are comparatively harmless.
  6. Legalize It!
    Why Decriminalization of Drugs Won't Get the 10,000 Ton Monkey Off of Mexico's Back
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2009
    Decriminalization is turning into a bonanza for Mexico City cops who have taken to carrying scales to weigh confiscated drugs and shaking down those "criminals" who exceed the decreed limits. Shaking down small-time users and dealers is nothing new in this the most corrupt, crime-ridden, and conflictive city in the western hemisphere. Indeed, crooked cops have been planting drugs on unwary citizens as long as cops have patrolled these mean streets.
  7. The Movement for Peace Marches On Against the Drug War
    The Goal Is Clear: Peace With Justice and Dignity
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
    The one-year anniversary of the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity, a grassroots groundswell against the drug war, played out March 28 in a small plaza in the Mexican city of Cuernavaca, just south of Mexico City — absent the cameras and pens of the mainstream media.
  8. Perspectives on Canadian Drug Policy Volume 1
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2003
    A symposium of articles on issues of drug addiction and treatment in Canada. Articles include "Substance Abuse and Crime," "Canada's Drug Laws: Prohibition Is Not the Answer," and "Drug Policy in Canada: War if Neccessary But Not Neccessarily War."
  9. Public Housing Redesign
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1994
    The solution to the specific problems of illegal drug dealing and prostitution is decriminalization.
  10. Radical Digressions 2
    Resource Type: Website
    First Published: 1981   Published: 2000
  11. Uruguay's legalization of marijuana leads the world
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2014
    Next year Uruguay will create a state marijuana monopoly. Supplying high quality product in limited per person quantities, and at controlled prices that undercut the black market, the initiative will safeguard public health, cut off funds from criminals, and finance social programs. So why don't we all do it?

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
