Stop the Drug War

"Stop the Drug War" advocates for ending the long-standing criminalization and aggressive enforcement of drug use and possession. Instead, it promotes treating drug addiction as a health issue rather than a crime, emphasizing treatment, prevention, and harm reduction. Supporters argue that the current approach leads to mass incarceration, disproportionately impacts marginalized communities, and often fails to reduce drug abuse. By reallocating resources toward education, healthcare, and support services, the goal is to create a more effective and humane response that reduces harm, respects individual rights, and addresses the root causes of drug-related issues.
