Drug Policy Alliance (DPA)

The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is an organization in the United States that advocates for drug policy reform. It focuses on reducing the harms caused by drug use and drug prohibition. DPA supports legal frameworks that prioritize public health and human rights over punitive approaches. It promotes the decriminalization of drug possession, emphasizes harm reduction strategies like safe consumption spaces, and seeks to end the war on drugs. By influencing legislation and public opinion, DPA aims to create a more equitable and effective drug policy that addresses addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one.
