List of anti-cannabis organizations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Arbitrarily lists organizations which are against drug use, not cannabis specifically. It's a bit absurd to list the DEA and the DEA museum as being anti cannabis organizations. I'm not sure what purpose this list could serve. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐐT₳LKᐬ  10:20, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep I'm open to suggestions for re-formatting to separate institutions like the DEA (anti-cannabis according to mandate) from other types of organizations. Clearly this list of organizations is incomplete. It might be a stub at this stage: So it could be expanded. But it is necessary to keep, the article was created in order to separate the DEA Museum and others that obviously did not belong at List of cannabis organizations. -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 20:12, 30 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge into a List of anti-drug organizations or similar. While advocating certain drugs can usually be separated by drug, opposition against drugs usually is not limited to certain kinds (and if it is, it can be noted in the list). Regards  So Why  10:54, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment I wouldn't support changing the name of the list to "anti-drug" organizations because many of them are supported by, or are themselves, manufacturers or sellers of legal drugs. An appropriate name would be List of cannabis prohibition organizations, but that's not what they call themselves; Most of the sources refer to anti-cannabis; The headlines of the articles read "anti-pot groups" or "anti-marijuana organizations." Keep. -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 01:45, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Useful navigational tool; topic of broad contemporary interest. Carrite (talk) 00:15, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Disclosure: I created several of the entries on the list but not the list itself. The description as "institutions and organizations" is inapt, as it includes media campaigns and other stuff that doesn't fit the narrow definition. But I don't see a problem with the list that can't be fixed through the usual collaborative editing. If the strongest argument is that the DEA Museum is not anti-cannabis, this seems hollow since a good part of the museum is in fact devoted to anti-cannabis messaging. What I see here is a need to go to the talkpage and more narrowly define the mission of the article, but to keep developing it under consensus. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:09, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
