If you missed last month's International Drug Policy Reform Conference in New Orleans, think about the issues you most would have liked to take on. If you were there, think about what inspired you, opened your eyes, or made you look at things in a new way.
You can experience those moments all over again or immerse yourself for the first time, thanks to downloadable audio recordings now available on the DPA website.
Recordings of almost every session are available for download, along with several videos, PowerPoint presentations and other session materials. All media related to the sessions is linked in the Conference archive. Share the materials with friends, use them as teaching aids, or simply stimulate your mind while you listen to your iPod.
If you're not sure where to start, here's a short list of highlights:
