Drug policy reforms

Drug policy reforms involve changing laws and regulations related to the use, possession, and distribution of drugs to create more effective and fair approaches. These reforms may include decriminalizing certain substances, focusing on treatment rather than punishment, and regulating new markets. The aim is to reduce harm, improve public health, and address social justice issues by shifting from strict criminal penalties to more public health-oriented strategies. Overall, reforms seek to balance safety, individual rights, and social equity, promoting more rational and compassionate responses to drug-related challenges.
