Drug Policy Futures

Drug use is a risk factor for a wide range of negative health and social problems. Help us implement effective drug policies.

@jet_lifeto @natsfert @ColtonlGrace @KevinSabet @WhiteHouse Pretty ridiculous. You do know they both have beautiful families, right? And this year @KevinSabet will be raising more $$ this week in Idaho. Good for him. We admire that. https://t.co/eJPzr1IQJ6

[Drug Policy Futures @DPForg]

Being part of the global community it is our primary duty to include the recommendations made by the member states for UNGASS 2016 to create a national drug policy for our respective nations.

FORUT and @dpforg in #cnd64: "The critical issue now is national implementation of the many good points in the UNGASS outcome document". https://t.co/WCA2xPATZ4

[FORUT @FORUT_No]

During #cnd64 Drug Policy Futures @DPForg this week launched the report “Zooming in on UNGASS“ as part of our monitoring of the implementation of the UNGASS agreement. FORUT has contributed in the making of the report. https://t.co/iz4334LGcr

Facts:

The concentration or potency of THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana, has increased dramatically over the past few decades. Higher potency marijuana has been found to be more addictive and linked to severe mental health issues.

#cnd64 To what extent is the consensus from UNGASS in 2016 and suggested interventions reflected in policy documents and practical interventions in the Member States? Read our report to see answers.

Cool/weird to see the book in @PublishersWkly today. #Smokescreen

Thanks to the whole Simon & Schuster and Forefront team for making this happen!

[Drug Policy Futures @DPForg]

Can't wait

[Kevin Sabet @KevinSabet]

Thrilled to begin the audio recording of my @audible_com @SimonBooks Forefront book

“Smokescreen: What the Marijuana Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know.”

Release is 4/20 (but preorder now anywhere books are sold)

[Drug Policy Futures @DPForg]

@russell90367011 @DMcDRecovery Who said punitive? Just discouraging.

And Rx? They’re legal— and kill more than any illegal. As do alcohol and tobacco.

[Drug Policy Futures @DPForg]

@russell90367011 @DMcDRecovery Not eliminate, but discourage-reduce-prevent. It’s possible.

[Drug Policy Futures @DPForg]

@ADAWnews Cheesecake isn’t meth.

[Drug Policy Futures @DPForg]

@DMcDRecovery And of course the reasons for use are complex. But his proposed solution - legalization of all drugs - would be disastrous.
