Drug Policy Reform - The Civil Rights Movement of the 21st Century



Summary/Abstract

Chooper's Guide is committed to providing information and resources that will elevate the awareness of addiction as a brain disease. We are active on both a company and a personal level in the Advocacy and Recovery Movement at a state and national level. We support drug policy reform and believe that only by changing the societal perception of addiction can we achieve policy reform in the healthcare and criminal justice systems which will result in individuals afflicted with addiction being spared from a lifetime of discrimination and afforded the same rights as individuals addressing other life threatening chronic diseases.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." ~ Abraham Lincoln, 18 December 1840.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”  ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
