Free public dialogue on drug policy.

 

The evening of May 15th at 7pm (SFU Woodwards).

 

The event will be a public forum/dialogue featuring a panel of international experts on drug policy looking at a future beyond prohibition where we examine various models of legal regulation of substances—what that would look like, how these models would work, and the impact they would have on society more generally. We’re hoping to answer the quesion: In a post-prohibition system, what needs to be done to remedy the harms to victims of the war on drugs and how do we create a just, healthy, and safe system moving forward.
