- The Drug Free America Foundation (DFAF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1976 by former US Ambassador Mel Sembler, his wife Betty Sembler (née Schlesinger), and Joseph Zappala as Straight, Inc., renamed The Straight Foundation, Inc. in 1985 and Drug Free America Foundation in 1995. Originally a drug rehabilitation program for adolescents, it faced multiple lawsuits for abuse of its patients. The organization no longer operates rehabilitation programs, and now "develops and promotes policies" opposing illegal drug use, drug addiction, and the decriminalization of cannabis and other drugs. It is a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. (en)
