Who
My name is Rob Arthur. I am a former inner-city teacher and public defender. I wrote, You Will Die: The Burden of Modern Taboos, which takes an anthropological look at how wrong and debilitating our beliefs are about sex, drugs, and more. It won the 2008 Montaigne Medal for most thought-provoking independent book. Feral House will be releasing the next edition.

What
The purpose of Narco Polo is to defend recreational drug use - and all other consensual adult activities - that the American government deems criminal. When media sensationalism and government propaganda are confronted with facts, it is apparent that the unintended consequences of these prohibitions have caused much greater suffering than the activities themselves.
“... ya gotta fight back against the Sarah Palin 'idiot herd' with something.”
