Promoting public health, human rights and social justice through drug policy reform
For over 50 years, the war on drugs has caused injustice, suffering and tragedy to communities across the world. It’s time to bring it to en end.
We are dedicated to making alternative drug policies a reality. By showing how things can be different, influencing those with the power to change, and providing a voice for people directly harmed by drug policy failures, we aim to make a better future possible for all.
