About Drug Policy

Misconceptions about drug policy issues are everywhere. Studies are misquoted, statistics appear conflicting and cynics seem to foist their negativity in every arena of public debate. What are the effects of lenient drug policy? What does drug use do to our society, our children, our environment?  The bottom line is that permissive drug policies put society at risk and deprive addicts of effective treatment.  Because drug use is not a victimless crime, it can never be a personal choice.  Understanding the difference between policies that work and those that endanger society is crucial to the future of our country.
