Harvard Drug Policy Initiative

The Harvard Drug Policy Initiative is a research and advocacy project based at Harvard University that aims to reform drug policies in the United States and globally. It seeks to promote evidence-based approaches to drug use and addiction, focusing on health and human rights rather than criminalization. The initiative examines the social, economic, and health impacts of drug laws and advocates for alternatives like decriminalization and harm reduction. By fostering informed discussions and policies, it aims to reduce the negative effects of current drug laws on individuals and communities.
