The RSC Policy Briefing entitled “Urgent and Long Overdue: Legal Reform and Drug Decriminalization in Canada” is now freely and publicly available here.
“Criminalization of substance use is a strategy that perpetuates harm and stigma. In this report, we consider Canada's past and current approach to substance use, joining the call for a new path forward rooted in a human rights approach," said Co-Chair of the Working Group, Vanessa Gruben.
The RSC has prepared Policy Briefings and other resources to ensure open access to independent, evidence-based science for Canadians.
