Dear Mr. Eric Holder;

I would like to propose you as a speaker to be invited by the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) for their upcoming International Drug Policy Reform Conference to be held at the Crystal Gateway Marriott, 1700 Jefferson Davis Highway, in Arlington, VA 22202, November 18-21, 2015.

I am a long time drug policy activist-historian who has attended the international conferences of the DPA , and those of its predecessor organization, the Drug Policy Foundation, since 1989.

I was a panelist at the DPF conference panels on cocaine in 1991 and 1992, the moderator of their 1995 conference panel  COCA 95 A Necessary Drug Policy Alternative from Abroad, and the author of papers on the topic of prohibition’s effects on cocaine usage, published in the DPF conference compendiums in 1990, 1991 and 1992.  These papers and the 1995 panel are viewable at my blog ‘Freedom of Medicine and Diet’.
