Decriminalization of Drug Use Webinar

January 28, 2021

3:00 PM / No Charge

 

Expanding on the success of the Decriminalization of Drug Use Workshop featured at the NCADD-MD 2020 Tuerk Conference, NCADD-MD has reconvened the international panel of experts to further explore approaches to drug policy that center drug use as an issue of health and social services, not of law enforcement.

Progressive policy approaches will be discussed, including the successful

results of decriminalization models of Portugal and Ireland.
