#WarOnDrugs has ended lives—without ending drug use. It’s fuelled stigma & pushed people into the shadows. We need smarter policies based on human rights, that choose inclusion over incarceration & people over punishment. It's time to treat the person, not punish the disorder.

In addition, we present five calls to action from civil society at the close of this international meeting: dejusticia.org/en/harm-reduct…
