Students for Sensible Drug Policy and the Drug Policy Alliance are spearheading efforts across the country to highlight the impacts of this ill-fated war.<\/p>\n<p>At least 50 people are expected to take part in our local vigil, which will feature speaker Dr James Nolan, 2010 West Virginia Professor of the Year and former narcotics agent. Many more students and community members will be participating across the nation and in other countries. The vigil is just one of more than 20 taking place simultaneously around the world including San Francisco, CA and Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Advocates hope that these vigils will bring much needed attention to the issue of drug policy reform and encourage dialogue on alternatives to drug prohibition.

Also visit sensiblemountaineers.com and www.ssdp.org\/vigil.<\/p>\n<p>Students for Sensible Drug Policy is an international grassroots network of students who are concerned about the impact drug abuse has on our communities, but who also know that the War on Drugs is failing our generation and our society. SSDP mobilizes and empowers young people to participate in the political process, pushing for sensible policies to achieve a safer and more just future, while fighting back against counter productive Drug War policies, particularly those that directly harm students and youth.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgantown Aspiring Young Artists an inspiring network of aspiring young artists in the Morgantown area.
