cannabisnews.com: A Guide To Drug-Related State Ballot Initiatives A Guide To Drug-Related State Ballot Initiatives Posted by FoM on October 15, 2000 at 21:42:07 PT How This Guide is Organized Source: National Families in Action Welcome to National Families in Action's Guide to Drug-Related Ballot Initiatives. We have created this guide to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues that underlie the profusion of drug-related initiatives placed on state ballots since 1996. Information compiled for this guide comes from a number of sources, starting with National Families in Action's Drug Information Center collection, which contains more than one million documents dating from 1977 forward. Newspaper articles, video and audio tapes, materials from drug-prevention and drug-legalization organizations, materials from election and campaign finance report divisions of state governments, and materials from the Internet are also sources for the information compiled for this guide. The material is organized into a commentary section and three broad categories: initiatives, organizations, and people. Many links cross-reference the material in each category. We encourage browsers to revisit these pages often because we add new material frequently. Newly added material can be identified on the index page of each category in the form of additional links (blue, underlined).
