But after 15 years I've figured out it's not working. Now we need to come up with some solution to it. An Alternative to the War on Drugs will be discussed again at General Assembly this June in Cleveland, when congregations will be urged to study it for another year. At GA 2002 delegates will either adopt a UUA Statement of Conscience based on it or decide to study it an additional year. Either way, congregations are encouraged to take up this issue at any time.
Many Web sites are devoted to drug war issues.
Each year one such issue is identified and congregations are encouraged to study and act upon it for the next several years under the sponsorship of the UUA's Commission on Social Witness. The drug issue inspired passionate debate within his congregation, says Jens-Rochow. We have a wide diversity of opinion. Most people are in favor of more humane treatment for drug users. We also have a couple of staunch believers in the drug war.
