About International Drug Policy

Drug use touches on a multiplicity of volatile topics globally – international law, the environment, science, health, ethics, psychology, sociology – and yet each has both a stake and a contribution to make in preventing drug use and solving addiction. In this section we seek to cross cultural, governmental and disciplinary boundaries to raise awareness about the human rights that are violated by drug use and addiction and the various policies that are implemented worldwide to address these social ills. We also explore the effects of supply and demand that impact the world economy every day. Looking at this issue from an international perspective will improve our knowledge about the realities of drug prevention, addiction and treatment.
