LET’S START TO INFLUENCE THE DRUG POLICY
The war on drugs is considered a failure, but other than the shift in the handling of cannabis, there are no signs that approaches will be changed anytime soon. This workshop calls for the formation of a collective that, through practical exchange and expertise, influences the current discussions surrounding repression and prohibition. This collective aims to take the lead in discussion with the goal of a responsible future drug policy.
