This project deals with government policy, both official and clandestine, on drugs at the local, state/provincial, national, and international levels. It will also concern itself with not only legal policy but also treatment and prevention, education, supply manipulation, global markets and measurements, and cultural policies.
If you want a userbox with a different image please feel free to create one and post it here. This way we will have a variety of userboxes. User:Timeshifter and others can create other userboxes too if you have another image, text, or formatting in mind. For info on creating userboxes see {{userbox}}
Create template showing scheduling status in various regions, especially for more common drugs of use/abuse including Pihkal and Tihkal substances (just did a section in 2C-B and see the need for a template and listing of pages to add it to)
When the project reaches critical mass, in that articles must be selected and an organization of them settled upon, along with templates and policies, as well as rating of articles and a decent body of information collected and relevant Categories audited, a Drug Policy Portal will be created, with new templates such as an infobox and portal banner created.
Please list what you're up to, what you've done, and any ToDo's you want to keep track of and communicate.
Ok, Heroin Withdrawl is up, but it's a mess, way too much rambling. I'm probably gonna have to split this into a bunch of articles, since i wound up writing a piece on the history of morphine as well. So yeah, please... suggestions, edits, anything, much appreciated.. =) Infernal.magnet (talk) 23:32, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Since no one has written an article on Heroin Withdrawl and how to manage it, i think i'll get started on that. It's information that could really help someone in a time of need. If any of you have tried and true ways of dealing with addiction that does not involve going off to a rehab and having people tell you that you are sick, i would very much like to hear them. Also, I know next to nothing about crack or coke.. not my cup of tea. Can someone fill me in on the withdrawl effects of cocaine? (i mean, going through it, not reading it in a book) Infernal.magnet (talk) 21:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Working through our list of pages above as well as categories we've identified to add project banner to articles, once this is done, we need to rate and begin working. Hopefully adding banners will add to the people part of this.Shamanchill (talk) 22:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redid our organization of articles and included all that have been bannered. I think we've got a good start here - let's get onto rating and editing where appropriate. Some of these categories need to be expanded (Prevention/Education, for example.
We need a policy on what gets included in our list, how to approach articles, and how to redo the Wikipedia Categories listed above to ensure that they're audited and relevant/comprehensive.
