Global Drug Policy Reform

Global Drug Policy Reform involves changing how countries regulate and respond to drug use, aiming to prioritize public health, human rights, and social justice over strict criminalization. Instead of punishing individuals for drug possession or use, reforms promote prevention, treatment, and harm reduction strategies. The goal is to reduce violence, improve health outcomes, and address underlying social issues. This shift encourages international cooperation and evidence-based policies, moving away from punitive approaches that often harm communities and hinder effective drug management.
