Anyone’s Child: Families for Safer Drug Control amplifies the voices of those who have been directly impacted by drug policy failures and are now calling for the legal control and regulation of the drug market.
No one doubts that drugs can be dangerous – that’s why we should do all we can to prevent children and young people from taking them. But banning drugs and criminalising those who get involved with them causes even more harm.
