Progressive Drug Policy

Progressive drug policy focuses on treating drug use as a health issue rather than solely a criminal one. It emphasizes harm reduction, prevention, and access to treatment, aiming to reduce negative social and health impacts. This approach supports decriminalizing or legalizing certain substances, reducing punishments for users, and investing in education and support services. The goal is to minimize harm, improve public health, and address social inequalities tied to drug laws, rather than relying primarily on punishment and incarceration.
