Abstract
The drug policy is failing but there are no signs, beside the legalisation of marihuana in some countries, that this reality will be changed in the near future. Time to react as a collective, time to reflect how we can influence the current discussion about repression and drug policy.
This workshop “Let’s start to influence the drug policy” will be based on practical exchange and expertise around taking the lead in a discussion, with the goal for a responsible drug policy in the future.
