Dear Friend of Drugreporter!
The Rights Reporter Foundation (RRF) is now accepting submissions to the “Let’s Get Real About Drugs!” poster contest, as part of our campaign to raise awareness on alternatives to punitive drug policies. The contest is targeting the 20-year review of global drug control efforts at the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on drugs in New York, April 2016. For details and the rules of the contest, see the call for submissions on our website.

The question is not whether MDMA is neurotoxic in an absolute sense, but rather, what is the extent of the damage at various dosing regimens.

Yours Sincerely,
Peter Sarosi
