Mexico Drug Policy - Drogas Mexico
Check out this excellent Spanish-language site on Mexico drug policy, run by Ricardo Sala. (thanks to the referral from Andrew)
A related site of interest is Takiwasi, Centro de Rehabilitación de Toxicómanos y de Investigación de Medicinas Tradicionales, founded 1992 in Tarapoto, Peru. According to MAPS " Attempting to cure drug addiction by the ritual use of ayahuasca, a plant beverage with psychotropic effects, might appear to be crazy or at least very daring. When Takiwasi (Center for the Rehabilitation of Drug Addicts and for Research of Traditional Medicines) was born in September 1992 in Tarapoto, Peru, the idea of the founders was to investigate and use in a systematic way the Amazonian healers' shamanistic knowledge to cure drug addicts. This applied research has now been underway for three and a half years seeking an efficient, low cost and culturally adapted alternative therapy. The initial results are encouraging."
