More to come...The last posting.


On Monday 21st, BP will be filling in the last of this blogg. We will be including the discussions on prohibition and the fantastic organsiation LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition and our exclusive interview with Jack Cole, the exec dir) and what it means to harm reduction.

We will discuss the insights gained into Ibogaine and the interview BP had with Howard Lotsof and Dana Beal, and what the underground Ibogaine movement means to the drug using community and the Ibogaine practitioners, today.

We will be meeting and talking directly to the UK crew of service / user reps and listening to what they were searching for in this conference and what they will be taking back from this to the UK.

And we will be throwing in some of the words from the worlds user activists on what's happening in their own countries and the kinds of problems they each face. There is one theme that is the same for just about every country however...Now just have a guess what that might be...

NOTE: please forgive the difficulties with YOUTUBE. We had a great deal of problems connecting to the internet at the conference and uploading looked like a non starter altogether. The minimum size of 100 mgb means we can only show tiny bits and thus have to edit them down in another programme - and wouldn't you know it but I'm having trouble with our computer as well. Alas, we will continue with trying to upload and will certainly finish the text and adding of the pics.

BP will be putting together a short film of interviews of around 15 countries - asking them all the same five questions, and getting some very interesting and insightful answers to the types of issues affecting drug users today. Stay tuned.
