We are the Drug Policy Alliance and we envision a just society in which the
use and regulation of drugs are grounded in science, compassion, health and
human rights, in which people are no longer punished for what they put
into their own bodies but only for crimes committed against others, and in which
the fears, prejudices and punitive prohibitions of today are no more.
