Mission Statement
The Drug Equality Alliance (DEA) is a UK based not for profit organisation whose purpose is to transform the "War on Some People who use Some Drugs" from its subjective historical and cultural roots into a rational and objective legal regulatory framework that secures equal rights and equal protection to all those who are concerned with dangerous or otherwise harmful drugs.
Our mission is to use domestic and international legal jurisdictions to interrogate the law and its application to those who produce, commerce, possess and consume such drugs. We believe governments have failed to administer drug law in an evidence-based manner. This failure contributes to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths and imprisonments each year. The Drug Equality Alliance seeks to remedy this.

Edwin is appealing to the European Court of Human Rights

Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 violates his rights. He
additionally submits that he was subjected to an unfair
trial process.

July 2011 - High Court grants the Government automatic
refusal of all legal applications by Casey Hardison
concerning the alleged unlawful administration of drug
laws - Treasury Solicitors acting for the Secretary

Council on the Misuse of Drugs requested the High Court
grant them an "Extended Civil Restraining Order"

Casey's claims and granted their request, effectively
stopping him from mentioning the subject of alcohol and
tobacco in Court for two years, by which time he will
have been deported to the US following completion of his
20-year sentence for production of psychedelic-type
drugs.
