Drug Policy

Canadian Foundation for Drug Policy Seeks New Members

The Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1993 by several of Canada's leading specialists in drug policy.

Its aims are:

  • • to act as a forum for the exchange of views among those interested in reform of policies relating to drugs, both legal and illegal;

    • to serve as a vehicle for sharing those views and for discussing significant drug policy issues with government, the public, other organizations and the media;

    • to gather experience about innovative drug policies from around the world and share this information with Canadians;

    • to examine the extent to which drug laws and policies succeed in their objectives;

    • to examine the consequences of drug laws and policies on individual Canadians, their communities and Canadian society as a whole;

    • to examine the interplay between international and Canadian drug policies; and

    • where necessary, to recommend alternatives that will make Canada's drug laws and policies effective and humane.

  • The Foundation does not encourage harmful drug use.
