Friends' Blogs & Links
Mood: a-ok
Now Playing: Mellow Yellow
Topic: Daily Doings

RIGHTY-HO FOLKS; I've just spent ages tinkering with that huge list of links you see to your right. A huge, yet in many ways barely started list of links. Because I'm planning to develop a comprehensive library of the absolute best links for druggie addiction and related topics. Which will take quite some time. BTW if anyone knows a good drugs info website not there, would you please be so kind as to tell me? Also one question: what's the American national antidrugs info society (there must be at least one) called? Or is it the one I've already got up there: the Thingie for a DrugFree America? or the National Institute of Drug Abuse? Isn't there any other one? Ours is called Frank (The National Drugs Helpline). Now I have googled this without the success I'd hoped for, but I'm looking for national equivalents to this accross the English-speaking world.

So if you know a link (or just the name of a famous drug help agency or drug info network, Comments please! And don't worry about stating the obvious. If I've not listed it, I don't know it.

Re the blogs I've resorted and categorized. Yes I know a few of yous might laugh at being called "normal"...! But you are normal compared to me.

Basically the new categories go • Druggie and using (like me (ie Chipper)) • Druggie past; trying to stop or successfully stopped • Normal people's blog-journals • News-oriented blogs (Power&Control) ... & lastly • Wonderblogs; these are ones that aim to bring a little magic into your life. Not personal diaries so much as ideas resources, plumpiemousian dreams, ginger cats' purrings, etc...

The blogs listed are the ones I'm reading. I hope you have fun with them too.

Yeah, I think the biggest and most prominent anti-drug NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) in the States would have to be the www.drugfreeamerica.org" target="_blank">Partnership for a Drug-Free America. You can read about it on Wikipedia as well. The US government's bloated anti-drug bureaucracy is the www.usdoj.gov/dea" target="_blank">Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA.

It's next day now... I just had a look at and pasted up that DEA site. It is very entertaining. Like something out of a comic book..! I'm going to post something on my views on American law quite soon. To us Europeans it seems utterly draconian, seriously!!

LINKS
I’ve totally revamped my links section (to the right-hand side).
Some of these are excellent so to avoid confusion they’re now listed under NINE headings. I’ve done this to avoid the obvious hotchpotch that results from just chucking everything together. State-sponsored organizations such as Partnership for a Drug-free America take a totally different “line” (so to speak) from harm-reduction oriented charities like the UK Lifeline or Vancouver Safer Injecting Project. I’ve also put more academic resources (e.g. Rothschild’s) under their own section.
In case you’ve found this by clicking the topics box and because my links system is notoriously slow, I’m also giving the names and all URLs below, so you can click on them there if that’s easier for you.
If you do know of a good link, please let me know — use the Comment box below. Many thanks. Happy linking!!
