Drug policy advocacy in CANADA:

The Canadian Drug Policy Coalition (CDPC) has launched a national dialogue toward a hopeful future free from the harms of our current drug policies. Getting to tomorrow also evokes a hopeful future—one in which a new approach to drugs based on public health and human rights ensures the health, dignity and safety of all Canadians.
