NEWS AND MEDIA
Discussion around drug policy is often polarised by commentators who are branded as 'hard' or 'soft' on drugs. We hope that our work will contribute to a more informed debate, based on evidence of what works, what doesn't work and what shows promise. We will need media interest, goodwill and collaboration to succeed.
