What's the most effective way an average civilian U.S. citizen can help to end the drug war?

How about young professional people (lawyers even) who would like to get involved in a professional capacity but feel limited by their large student debt obligations? I.e. is there any way to get an actual paying job with an anti-prohibition organization?

Aside from just being vocal about changing policy (which a lot of us already do, but have limited means to effect change due to a lack of political influence), is there any action we could take as individuals, or any organizations we could join, donate to, or work for, to actively help end prohibition?

No doubt, bad trips can be exquisitely, uniquely uncomfortable. I've had several. They suck to go through. The thing is though, after each one I've felt that I've learned a tremendous amount about my fear, and more ready to face whatever fear may come in the future; and more appreciative of my life in general.

Imagine being the Apollo 13 astronauts. They got into a pretty hairy situation and survived. I'll bet they wanted to make love to the very Earth they stood on once they got home. Bad trips are sort of like that, but with less risk of being ejected into the void (physically, at least).

TL;DR: I'd much prefer a good trip but the bad ones are almost more useful because they force you to deal with issues that you might not have the courage to confront otherwise.
